Really great museum!! Only 300 yen but really well presented space with videos, lots of photo ops, and really nice layout of the floats and history. Also, the staff were soo friendly - one saw me looking at a photo op section and ran down with a list of English phrases to ask me if I wanted him to take my picture! Another one explained the floats and history all in pretty good English which was a first for me in Japan. The only improvement I would say is they could put English subtitles in the videos but all in all very worth it

(Translated by Google) I personally think that it is the most attractive place in Kawagoe. At first I entered without expecting at all, but I was surprised at the fulfillment of the contents of the exhibition inside. The float exhibition is powerful and exhibits about festivals in various areas. First of all, what is the festival? It is amazing that many beginners have easy-to-understand content. The posters of the past festivals were displayed, and the video screening of commentary of the state of the festival was very well done. After that, there was a machine to listen to the difference in dumplings. What impressed me was the free and belly-ready shooting in the hall. The passion of those involved in the launch of this facility is transmitted in various parts. People in the Tourism Division of each local government think that it is a place worth studying as a tour. Entrance fee 300 yen, JAF card presentation 240 yen. If this is this content, I am very satisfied. There were not many viewers, but I would like young and old men and women, especially young ones, to see. It's also good to buy some sweets, but it's worth noting not to look here. I was so moved that on my way back I hit the heights of my mind to those who wore an old law coat like the staff of the facility. (Original) 個人的には川越で１番魅力のある場所だと思います。 最初は全然期待しないで入ったのですが、中の展示内容の充実振りにびっくり。 山車の展示は迫力があるし、色んな地域の祭に関する展示。 そもそも、祭とは？的なビギナーにもわかりやすい内容が多いのが凄い。 今までの祭のポスターが展示されていたり、祭の様子の解説のビデオ上映もとても良くできていました。 あとは、お囃子の違いを聴ける機械が置いてあったり。 感動したのは館内の撮影自由な太っ腹対応。 様々な部分でこの施設の立ち上げに関わった方の情熱が伝わってきます。 各地方自治体の観光課の人は視察とかして勉強する価値がある場所だと思います。 入場料300円、JAFカード提示で240円。 この内容でこれなら、大満足。 あまり、観覧者がいなかったが、老若男女、特に若い人に見て頂きたい。 お菓子とか買いまくるのもいいけど、ここを見ないのは勿体無い。 あまりに感動して、帰りに施設の職員らしき高齢の法被を着られた方に思いの丈をぶつけてしまいました。

An amazing collection of items from past and present Kawagoe Festivals, including films and an oral presentation by one of the staff. The museum is easily navigated, and wheelchair accessible. A must-see for festival fans!!!

To be honest, it's less impressive than some other festival museums we've been to... Inuyama and Karatsu displayed more floats. But if you're here on a Sunday or a holiday, you get to watch a live hayashi performance (roughly 30 minutes long, starting at 1:30 PM and 2:30 PM), which is definitely worth sticking around for.

(Translated by Google) November 7-8 last year, I visited with friends and Silver Volunteers. There are only 357,300 Kawagoe citizens and there are 25 floats. On the third soil, the Hino Kawagoe Festival was visited by 497.300 tourists, the old streets were preserved, the history and culture were preserved, and no matter how much they went, the fire was the best, and Kawagoe. There was news that the first president, Kazuo Kani, had not died recently. I wish you happiness. Gassho This year's Kawagoe Festival is Saturday, October 19 and Sunday, 20th, 493,000 tourists visited in two days last year (Original) 昨年の11月7～8日と友人の案内とシルバーボランティアさんの案内で見学しました、川越市民357，300人しか居ないのに山車が25台もあること事態凄いと思います、昨年10月第三土、日の川越まつりに497．300人も観光客が押し寄せたとの事、古い街並みが保存され、歴史、文化の保存、なんと行っても戦火に会わなかった事が一番、そして川越蔵の街並み保存に尽力された方々のご苦労の賜ものでしよう、最近初代会長さん可児一男様がお亡くなかったとニュースが有りました。ご冥福を祈ります。合掌　今年の川越まつりは、10月19土曜日、20日日曜日です、一昨年は２日間で49万3000人の観光客が訪れています

But it was a little disappointing that there was no unusual production like other festival halls 🙍‍♂️🙍‍♂️🙍‍♂️ I just had to watch the festival video on the big screen 🙍‍♂️ On the other hand, the staff in the hall was quite kind and nice to give us a great explanation and response.

It’s a small museum that highlights the history of their festivals. The staff was very friendly and took the time to explain to us in English. It’s worth dropping in just to spend a bit of time here.

Amazing museum. Only 300 yen and the staff there were giving explanations of the festival in English and also took your photo.

(Translated by Google) Mikoshi is on display. How did you put it inside?? (Original) 御輿が展示されています。どうやって中に入れたのかな??

(Translated by Google) We went for the first time, but there is surprising depth and movie screening. The floats you see in front of you are powerful. (Original) 初めて行きましたが、意外と奥行もあり映画上映等もあります。 目の前で見る山車は迫力があります。

Really fascinating and charming museum! Unfortunately I missed the festival itself but learning about it in the museum was great, especially for the price of only 300 yen. The staff were exceptional and incredibly friendly, and they did their utmost to ensure I understood each of the exhibits and the history behind them. During the presentation in Japanese, one of the guides very kindly explained everything to me in English and took photos of me with the floats! It's definitely worth visiting if you are in the area.

I like the video presentation. Although there was no translation, the staffs were really friendly.

(Translated by Google) A museum where all of the Kawagoe Festival is explained. It may be difficult to understand because the parking lot faces different streets, but since there are not many parking lots, I think that it is more certain that you parked elsewhere and walked. There are two real floats on display in the hall, as well as a partially created float. The music of the music is fun for festival lovers because you can listen to the music of some schools. On weekends, you can watch and listen to music performances. I would recommend it. This is a museum that describes the Kawagoe Festival held in October every year.Every weekend, you can watch and listen to live music performances in the city.If you ask for an explanation in English, you will be replaced by a speaker who can speak.

This is a little hidden gem museum. The design of the whole place is well thought out and complements the floats displayed inside.

(Translated by Google) When sightseeing in Kawagoe, I saw the festival hall, and if you like the festival hall, you can't help but pay 300 yen to enter. There are almost no customers in the hall, and it is in a chartered state, so I wonder if I am lucky to have the staff explain the details of the floats. The floats on display are not replicas but real ones. What was interesting was the unfinished mountain car. Apparently, a festival-loving grandfather made it at his own expense, but he seems to have died. It seems that it costs 30 million yen even in the middle of creation, but it seems that it will cost 90 million more to complete. Well, I thought that the remaining family would not be completed by hitting 90 million. However, it's okay to bring 30 million unfinished floats, and you donate. By the way, it seems that this year is the 100th anniversary of Kawagoe Municipal Administration, so I want to hold a festival anyway. It has become a really difficult world for such a lively three-cs festival. However, the 100th anniversary is only 2022, so it's not a good idea to do it at the Kawagoe Festival. If Kawagoe does it, other festivals should follow. In that way, I hope that the Kawagoe Festival will have a cycle of returning to the daily life before Corona. Illness is widespread, but it is humans, not viruses, who decide to refrain from doing so, so I think it's no good if you misunderstand it. (Original) 川越観光の観光の際に、まつり会館を見かけ、まつり会館好きとしては訪れぬわけにはいかぬと300円を払いいざ入館。 館内はほぼ客がおらず貸切状態、山車の詳細な説明を職員の方にしてもらいラッキーなのかなんなのか。展示されている山車はレプリカではなく本物だそうです。面白かったのは作りかけの山車。どうやら祭り好きのおじいさんが自費で作成をしていたみたいですが、亡くなってしまったみたいで。作成途中でも3,000万円掛かっているみたいですが、完成にはあと9,000万かかるそうで。そら、残された家族も9,000万はたいて完成はさせないよなーと思いました。けど、3,000万の未完成の山車を持っといてもしゃーないし、、そりゃ、寄付しますよね。 話変わって、今年は川越市政100周年だそうで、なんとしても祭りをやりたいですよね。 こう言った活気のある3密の極み系祭りにとっては本当に難しい世の中になってしまったものです。ただ、100周年は後にも先にも2022年しか無いですから、やったらいいじゃない川越まつり。 川越がやるならって、他の祭りも後を追えばいいじゃない。 そうやって、コロナ前の日常生活に戻っていくサイクルが起きることを川越祭りに期待してます。 病気は蔓延してますが、自粛をするって決めているのはウイルスじゃなく人間ですからね、そこんところ、勘違いしたらダメだと思います。

If you want to learn a lot of good information about the city’s history and the stories behind the local festivals, look no further than this museum. It’s not as expansive as other places but the staff are full of knowledge about their hometown. Come to find out that October 15 - 16, the city will celebrating 100 years with the largest festival ever. Can’t wait to attend!!

A small museum offering an interesting glimpse at the Kawagoe festival. If you’ve missed the actual festival, this is the next best thing. The entrance fee is 300yen per visitor, if you’re interested in learning more about Kawagoe’s festivals, it is worth a visit. The staff are also incredibly friendly.

The museum staffs are the stars of this place. They are very enthusiastic to share the Kawagoe Matsuri with the visitors. We had a good time coming here after lunch hour. Still, it's better to come here with a japanese guide for foreign tourists.

(Translated by Google) From Kawagoe station, it will take about 20 minutes on foot. It is located in a corner of the old Kawagoe townscape where the Yamazaki Museum is located. Various tools that decorate large floats and festivals are on display. I hope that Kawagoe's traditional festival, which was held every year before the Corona Whirlpool, will be held again someday, and many people will have a good time.

Really touched by the passion and friendliness of the guides in this museum. We learnt a little about the amazing Kawagoe Festival held each year in October. The floats or dashi are a sight to behold and each have an ingenious mechanism to raise and lower the incredibly detailed figures from within!

Small museum but great experience. The staff were aged folk and very kind. We got the explanations and history lessons in English. Quiet and cozy.

It's a good place to learn about Kawagoe and its famous festival.

Really cool museum where you can learn a lot about Kawagoe's history of festivals. The staff were really friendly and eager to share their knowledge. Highly recommended!

Really friendly staff! One of them sat next to me to translate the video screening

(Translated by Google) You can see the whole Kawagoe Festival (Original) 川越祭り全貌がわかります?

What an amazing museum!!! The guides were extremely friendly and informative, and the woman here today at 4 pm was kind enough to translate her post-film talk into English for me. The majority of the signs were in bilingual, so I was even able to read the information too!! The paper doll room cannot be missed either, they were gorgeous!!!

My wife and I went to the Kawagoe Matsuri tonight. The first time attended the festival, it was very crowded. There were many street food carts with wide variety of great foods. This festival is held every year on the second Saturday and Sunday of Oct. It’s only 35 minutes by Tobu Tojo line from Ikebukuro station, highly recommend to visit during your stay in Tokyo.

The staff were all extremely friendly, the museum itself was fascinating and worth a visit.

(Translated by Google) I got it when I took a walk around Kawagoe. Adults 300 yen Deduct 100 yen and quite dark content You can see. Various exhibitions such as mountain cars and musicians were exhibited. When you came to Kawagoe you can see what you will see once I will recommend it. (Original) 川越散策の際に寄らせて頂きました。 大人300円小人100円でかなり濃い内容を 見学出来ます。 山車やお囃子など様々展示されておりました。 川越に来た際は一度見学される事を おススメ致します。

(Translated by Google) Personally it is very good because it will do it in the right season. There are many stalls. Long distance, wide range. The convenience store's toilet is blocked. There are several toilets, but women are long. The float around the float is so great that I'm worried about having a dog or children with such a crowd. I don't have a fight, but I feel that it's not strange. (Original) ちょうどいい季節にやってくれるので個人的にはとてもいい。屋台もたくさん。距離も長い、範囲も広い。コンビニのトイレは封鎖されてる。数カ所トイレはありますが女性の方はどこも長蛇。あんな人混みで犬や子供連れてるのが心配になるぐらい山車の周りはすごい。喧嘩はないけどあってもおかしくないなぁと感じる。

(Translated by Google) I've never seen a real festival, but if you come here, you can see the atmosphere. It is a very big float. It is powerful even if you look down from the second floor. A local guide will explain it carefully. (Original) 本物の祭りは観たことないけど、ここに来れば雰囲気が分かります。とても大きな山車です。二階から見下ろしても迫力があります。地元のガイドさんが丁寧に説明してくれます。

(Translated by Google) I entered with an admission ticket set with Kawagoe Castle Ruins, an art museum, and a museum. The total of 3 cases is 600 yen, so if you have time, the set is more profitable. Especially in the parking lot adjacent to Kawagoe Castle, if you have this admission ticket, you should be able to continue parking until 17:00. It's about a 10-minute walk from the castle to the hall, so it's a good idea to take a walk. The hall is on the busiest street. When you enter, you will be guided to the event venue, where you can enjoy the Kawagoe Festival video every 20 minutes. Even after the video ends, the festival and floats will be explained, so you can deepen your knowledge. It's close to tourist attractions such as the bell of time, so I think it's a good idea to go around together. (Original) 川越城址や美術館、博物館とセットの入場券にて入った。3件合わせて600円なので、時間ある人はセットの方がお得である。特に川越城に隣接する駐車場へはこの入場券があれば、17時まで駐車継続することができるのが良い。お城から会館まで歩いて10分ほどなので、散策がてら歩くと良い。会館は一番にぎわっている通り沿いにある。入場するとイベント会場まで案内をしてくれ、中では20分おきくらいで川越祭りの動画を楽しむことができる。動画終了後も祭りや山車の説明をしてくれるので、知識を深める事ができる。時の鐘など観光名所とすぐ近いので、合わせて巡るには良いかと思う。
