Visit to Kawagoe in Dec 2023
Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine的点评
点评：Before our trip to Japan in Dec 2023, I was googling on where I can go for a free and easy day trip that was near to Tokyo. I chanced upon a recommendation to Kawagoe which is an "old Kobe" city about 1 hour 30 mins away from Shinjuku.
We took a JR train from Shinjuku and arrived at Kawagoe JR station. The walk from the station to this Shrine is at least 30 mins. I found out on internet that we could take Bus 6 and stop directly in front of the Shrine.
After you exit from the JR station, you need to go down one level to the small bus interchange just below the station. As we couldn't find the correct bus, I just approached the bus driver of another bus for direction and found the correct bus immediately. So don't feel shy to ask any Japanese if you are lost as they are usually very helpful to guide you if they can. I spoken to them in simple single English word. They either point you to the correct place or might be able to reply you in simple English too!
The bus journey is about 10 mins and you need to pay attention to the bus stop name on the display panel. You enter the bus by the back door and alight the bus by the front door. You will need to tap your transport IC card or pay the cash at the exit.
This Shrine was built in the 6th century. As we went to this Shrine on Thursday morning, there was not a lot of people at this Shrine. Due to global warming, I was very surprised to see autumn colours of maple trees in this Shrine and one nearby garden.
On the main entrance, you will find “dry ponds” of pink and red wooden fishes. For 300 yen, you use the fishhook and “fish” out your fortune forecast. If the fortune forecast is not good, you can tie the fortune on the string at the Shrine and left the bad fortune forecast behind. Alternatively, you can just draw the fortune paper with 100 yen if you do not need the wooden fish. Just a note, the fortune will be written in Japanese only and you will need to use google translate to understand your fortune. I took my “red fish” home as a souvenir from this Shine.
You can move around the Shrine as long you do not enter the area that is not opened to public. There was a private blessing event happening in the Shrine when we visited.
After the visit, we walked to our next destination – Toki No Kane Bell Tower and Kawagoe Ichibangai!

翻译：在 2023 年 12 月去日本旅行之前，我在谷歌上搜索可以去哪里进行东京附近的自由轻松的一日游。我偶然被推荐去川越，这是一个“老神户”城市，距新宿约 1 小时 30 分钟路程。
我们从新宿乘坐JR电车到达JR川越站。从车站步行到这座神社至少需要 30 分钟。我在网上查到可以乘坐6路公交车直接停在神社前面。
从 JR 车站出来后，您需要下一层到车站下方的小巴士转乘处。由于我们找不到正确的巴士，我就向另一辆巴士的司机询问方向，并立即找到了正确的巴士。因此，如果您迷路了，请不要害羞地询问任何日本人，因为如果可以的话，他们通常会非常乐于为您提供指导。我用简单的英语单词和他们交谈。他们要么为您指出正确的位置，要么也可以用简单的英语回复您！
巴士车程约10分钟，需留意显示屏上的巴士站名称。您从后门上车，从前门下车。您需要在出口处刷交通IC卡或支付现金。
这座神社建于六世纪。我们周四早上去这座神社的时候，神社里的人不是很多。由于全球变暖，我非常惊讶地看到这座神社和附近花园里的枫树秋天的颜色。
在主入口处，您会发现粉红色和红色木鱼的“干池塘”。只需花费 300 日元，您就可以使用鱼钩“钓鱼”出您的财富预测。如果运势不好，可以把运势绑在神社的绳子上，把不好的运势抛在脑后。或者，如果不需要木鱼，也可以直接用100日元抽签。请注意，运势将仅用日语书写，您需要使用谷歌翻译来了解您的运势。我把我的“红鱼”带回家作为这个Shine的纪念品。
只要不进入不向公众开放的区域，您就可以在神社周围走动。我们参观时神社正在举办私人祈福活动。
参观完毕，我们步行前往下一个目的地——时之钟钟楼和川越一番街！
