Kawagoe City is called Little Edo because the cityscape and culture of the Edo period still remains there today. Time bell Tower marks the passage of time in Kawagoe from the Edo period (1603-1868). It is also easy to access from Tokyo since it is only 30 minutes from Ikebukuro Station and 50 minutes from Shinjuku Station.
