Shinkashi River (behind Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine) is a quiet walking spot lined with cherry trees along the riverbank, offering a serene landscape in spring. On clear days, the contrast between the cherry blossoms and the blue sky is beautiful, and on windless days, you can enjoy the reflections of the blossoms on the water. As it's a calm spot slightly off the tourist path, it's also recommended for those who want to take their time photographing during less crowded hours. It's a hidden gem where you can encounter quintessential Kawagoe spring scenes while taking a leisurely stroll.
