Ichiban-gai Shopping Street

Fire-resistant "Kurazukuri" storehouses formed the cityscape from the late Edo period through the Meiji era after the Great Kawagoe Fire of 1893. These structures were a symbol of status for Kawagoe merchants. From the Taisho era, one can see the era's distinctive architecture, such as the cutting-edge steel-framed reinforced concrete of the former Saitama Resona Bank and townhouses decorated with Western-style finishes like artificial stone wash-outs.
