Very good article, I like Kawagoe, remember some good sake stores there! Incidentally, regarding the stone rakan, I recall a tale that if you return there after dark and feel the faces of the statues, the one that feels warm to the touch is the one that will most resemble you ! Nice story, though I never put it to the test.

Thank you. Yes, I read this story, but was hesitant to get there after dark. Besides, these days it is by admission Only, that is you need to buy a ticket.
