🍡Kawagoe, often called “Koedo” or “Little Edo,” is located in Saitama about an hour away from the center of Tokyo.

Once you step foot in Kawagoe, you’ll feel like you’ve been transported to historical Japan, with classic architecture, traditional sites, and nostalgic street food and snacks.

This is perhaps the most famous “Little Edo” in Japan, but do you know of any others? (Hint: we recently wrote an article on the top 5 Edo towns for some ideas!😉)

📈Kaizen means “improvement” in Japanese, with the first kanji representing a profound change, and the “zen” kanji character referring to sacrificing oneself for a greater cause.

Kaizen is a mindset commonly adopted by Japanese people, organizations, and companies. The goal of growth and continuous improvement can be seen everywhere in Japan, and once you adopt the kaizen mindset, you’ll realize that NOT learning and moving forward is viewed the same as moving backwards.

To follow the kaizen way is to always move forward, then, even if the progress is only small baby steps at a time.🌱

Stargazing in a personal hot spring on the balcony

Stargazing in a personal hot spring on the balcony of your beautifully renovated warehouse. Enjoying a delicious full-course dinner and yummy breakfast, and indulging in free-flow gelato🤩. All these are things you can do at LOQUAT Nishi Izu and more!
I can’t wait to tell you more about my time staying there, I’m sure you would love it too.

You have your own private warehouse with a bath, so you can fully relax. Soak in the onsen with a view of loquat orchard, and read a book on your sun loungers. All amenities such as body soap and silky oil made by locally produced loquats, tea, coffee and mini-bar drinks, fluffy bathrobes and comfy pyjamas are all included. All you need to bring is yourself and you are set for your stay!

With the beach just a stroll away you can catch rays, and view Japan’s most beautiful sunset.
