Kawagoe's Marionette Clock
I was going to review this marionette clock in the review section. But as it is not on Google Maps, I thought I'd put it on the blog side instead. If you are visiting Kawagoe with kids they might enjoy watching the Marionette clock at Atre. It is operated on the hour every hour from 10 am. They have five different moving figures, including two models of the Kawagoe festival's floats. Its very cute and worth a watch if you are in the area at the right time.
The clock is over the main entrance of the corridor AND the main entrance into Atre on the second floor east exit's rotary of Kawagoe station. There is a Wendy's First Kitchen below it to the side and a Wired Kitchen behind it. Kawagoe Festival's traditional music is played in sync with the 'show'. It lasts about five minutes.
Former nickname was "Saitama". Changed it to save confusion on place review posts! Irish, 20+ years in Japan! I also write on my personal website: insaitama.com
