But if the buildings recalling this time are present, the city is not a fixed eco-museum but a real city, more living and diverse. The architectural styles of different periods come together, creating an impression of anachronism that adds to its charm. There are <strong>traditional Japanese styled buildings<\/strong> dating from the <strong>Meiji Period<\/strong> (1868-1912) , but also ones with <strong>Western influences.<\/strong> Others are typical of the Taisho (1912-1926) or <strong>Showa<\/strong> (1926-1989) eras as well as very modern buildings, often using traditional materials such as wood. A visit to Kawagoe is therefore a walk in time more than a leap into the past.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/20160440\/01-kawagoe-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"Discover Kawagoe 'Little Edo', Only 1 Hour from Tokyo\" class=\"wp-image-35656\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/20160440\/01-kawagoe-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/20160440\/01-kawagoe-500x332.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/20160440\/01-kawagoe.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>In this photo, behind the buildings of <strong>Kura no Machi<\/strong> (the &#8220;Kura Street&#8221;, these old warehouses that are famous for Kawagoe), we see <strong>a Western styled bank<\/strong>, dating from 1918.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/20160209\/09-kawagoe-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"Discover Kawagoe 'Little Edo', Only 1 Hour from Tokyo\" class=\"wp-image-35665\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/20160209\/09-kawagoe-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/20160209\/09-kawagoe-500x332.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/20160209\/09-kawagoe.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-kawagoe-s-emblem-toki-no-kane-clock-tower\">Kawagoe&#8217;s Emblem: Toki no Kane Clock Tower<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Toki no Kane (\u6642 \u306e \u9418)<\/strong>, literally &#8220;the bell of time&#8221;, is like a &#8220;Clock Tower.&#8221; The 16 meter wooden building has stood in the historic district since the beginning of the Edo Period (the current building was rebuilt in 1893 due to a great fire).

Si vous visitez Kyoto en ao\u00fbt, il est probable que vous me croisiez lors des f\u00eates de Bon Odori.
