I have been to the Kawagoe Festival at least a dozen times, I think its 18 officially! But this is the first year ever that I took proper photos. In the past I was always there with either family or friends, or both, so I only took a few photos. But this year I was able to get many photos - more than a 1000 in fact! Here is a random choice of photos from the Kawagoe Festival in 2024. Of all the times I have been, this year's was the best in my humble opinion. It really is a festival worth visiting at least once. Moreover, it is very convenient for people visiting / living in Tokyo as Kawagoe is only 30 minutes from Ikebukuro in Tokyo. The next Kawagoe Festival will be on Saturday October 18th and Sunday October 19th 2025.
