Kawagoe Bell Tower is famous for the city's symbol.
According to Wiki, it is originally built on the orders of Sakai Tadakatsu between 1624 and 1644.
The present structure goes back to 1894, a year after the Great Fire of Kawagoe.
It is a three-story tower measuring 16 meters in height.
The tower has been telling time to the city's residents for 350 years and has been deemed as a symbol of the city.
Currently, the bell can be heard four times a day (6 AM, 12 PM, 3 PM and 6 PM)
