The red spider lily, known as Higanbana, holds a significant place in Japanese culture. Its name, "Higanbana," translates to "flower on the other shore," symbolizing the blooming period that aligns with Japan's autumn equinox season (Higan). This flower has also been referenced in Buddhist teachings, amplifying its cultural importance. Typically blossoming from mid-September to early October, Higanbana adorns the landscape in a stunning display. Notably, "Kinchakuda" in Saitama Prefecture boasts Japan's largest expanse of these red spider lilies, with an astonishing 5 million flowers painting the terrain like a vivid crimson carpet. Enveloped by the Koma River, the area offers a unique geographical setting that enhances the breathtaking Higanbana scenery.
Kawagoe City in Saitama Prefecture exudes the Edo period's charm, allowing visitors to journey through the Meiji, Taisho, Showa, and Heisei eras.

Donning a yukata, you can step back in time and explore these streets. "Kashiya Yokocho" (Candy Alley) adds to the allure, offering a nostalgic walk among colorful glass storefronts of candy shops. In Kawagoe, tranquility and a unique historical experience await amid the everyday rush.
