Taisho-roman Street

About 30 stores and restaurants line about 200-metre (660 ft) street, which is gently winding as a characteristic of the castle town to prepare for wars.

At the northern end of the street, Kawagoe Chamber of Commerce and Industry is located.

The street has been used as a setting in several Japanese movies, TV dramas and commercials in nostalgic air with granite flagstones.

It waned in popularity as commercial heart of the city moved to Crea Mall, it was redeveloped on the theme of Taisho Romance by removing the arcade in 1995 and laying power lines underground in 2001.

Located between Ichibangai Street representing Edo to Meiji era called Kurazukuri Zone and modern Crea Mall, Taisho-roman Street attracts tourists from home and abroad representing Taisho era.
