The special night course, exclusively for hotel guests and toured by rickshaw, offers a unique opportunity as rickshaws do not usually operate at night. For this plan only, rickshaws will specially operate at night in Kawagoe, touring the illuminated storehouse-lined streets and Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine, where the refreshing sound of wind chimes resonates. The tour concludes at "Bar Azzurri" in "Resona Koedo Terrace," which is a renovation of the former Saitama Resona Bank Kawagoe Branch, a nationally registered tangible cultural property. On the terrace seats overlooking the storehouse-lined streets, guests can enjoy "Bushu Eel Fish & Chips" along with Saitama-produced celebratory drinks. This plan aims to cater to the needs of those who wish to sightsee while avoiding the heat, and those who want to make effective use of their time after dinner, proposing a new way to enjoy Kawagoe.

Background of Implementation

Koedo Kawagoe, known as a tourist destination, shows another side after sunset, not just its daytime vibrancy. This plan focuses on the current situation where approximately 90% of Kawagoe tourism is day trips (*1), and was created in collaboration with local businesses with the desire for guests to enjoy the "night charm that can only be encountered by staying overnight." It offers a special time unique to the night, such as the quiet streets of storehouses with fewer people, the silence of the night where "Toki no Kane" stands, and the fantastic scenery bathed in light.
