Incredibly, the weather today was crappy, and I had already decided that I wanted to try to visit Kawagoe again. I waited most of the morning and early afternoon for the rain to stop, and ended up doing my laundry in the mean time. Finally, around 3PM, the rain stopped and I asked my neighbor Ramon if he wanted to come to Kawagoe, and so the two of us headed over there.
The first time I went, I must have walked right by the most famous landmark several times without seeing it: the 時の鐘 (toki no kane/ Tower of Time). This time, we walked straight there, and also found the true Candy Lane. After wandering around for an hour or so, the rain started up again, so we came back to Omiya.
Cheers,
