Kawagoe in Saitama, which is approx. 30 mins train ride away from Tokyo’s Ikebukuro, is a city known locally as “Little Edo” where some of its streets preserve the old Edo period (17c to 19c.) stuctures. Kawagoe is famous for its sweet potatoes, and on the local “Candy Street” one can find such treats as sweet potato chips, sweet potato ice cream, sweet potato coffee, and even sweet potato beer, brewed at the local Coedo Brewery.

In HK, one would really feel the Christmas spirit due to the mass amount of Christmas decorations. Every shopping mall, every shopping street, every residential area, every establishment, etc., are kitted out with billions of lights.
