Discover the Site of the Kawagoe Castle Nakano-mon Moat, a remnant of the historic Kawagoe Castle. Located a short walk from Kawagoe's free parking area and near popular spots like the Bell of Time, this preserved moat section offers a glimpse into the castle's defenses. Once part of a sophisticated system with three moats designed to thwart invaders, today it features a beautifully maintained grassy slope. Easily accessible and free to visit, it provides a serene contrast to the surrounding residential area. It's a quick stop en route to the main attractions of Kawagoe, such as the Kurazukuri Street.
