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!!!

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.

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.

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

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!!
