Kawagoe, Saitama Prefecture, is a popular summer tourist destination.
Many tourists visit throughout the day to enjoy spots such as the historic Kurazukuri warehouse district, street food eating tours, and shrine and temple visits. On the other hand, due to the intense heat in recent years, heat countermeasures are indispensable for summer tourism.
Amidst this, from Sunday, July 26, 2026, to Sunday, August 30, 2026, a regional collaborative initiative called "Hiyashi Kawagoe" will be held, organized in partnership by Kao "Biolv", Tobu Railway, and the Koedo Kawagoe Tourist Association. This initiative aims to allow visitors to enjoy Kawagoe tourism comfortably even in the hot summer, with various measures deployed at temples, shrines, and participating stores throughout the city.
And Kimono Rental Wargo Kawagoe Store is participating in this project.
What is "Hiyashi Kawagoe"?
"Hiyashi Kawagoe" is a region-wide project implemented to let visitors enjoy "cool and comfortable sightseeing" throughout the town of Kawagoe.
During the period, by presenting the **"Kawagoe Retro Trip Pass"** sold by Tobu Railway at eligible facilities, visitors can receive a "Biolv Cool Towel", and various shops and facilities in Kawagoe will support summer-specific tourism through heat countermeasures and hospitality.
Precisely because it is a season where the heat is a concern, it is attracting attention as a new initiative where visitors can enjoy "sightseeing without pushing oneself too hard".
