    Saitama Pref. Kawagoeshi Nakachou 1-12
    This building is in Kawagoe City, Saitama Prefecture. Its old European-style construction is reminiscent of the Parthenon, and it is now a National Registered Tangible Cultural Property. It was originally the Kawagoe branch of the former Bushu Bank. Built in 1928, it was handed over to the Kawagoe Chamber of Commerce, which still owns it, in 1970.

    大正浪漫夢通りの北の端の交差点に面して、大きく太い石の柱が特徴的な建物が建っていました。それが、この川越商工会議所でした。 この重厚な造りの建物は、昭和２年に、旧武州銀行川越支店として建てられたそうです。大きくて太い石の柱は、ドリス様式というそうです。

    Saitama Pref. Chichibushi Kuroya 567
    The site of a native copper mine on Mt. Wado in Kuroya, Chichibu City designated a historic Cultural Property by Saitama Prefecture. It is recorded that native copper from the mine was presented to the Imperial Court in 708 and used to cast Wado kaichin, Japan’s first circulating coinage. A five meter tall statue shaped like a Wado kaichin has been erected on the site of the ruins; the grounds are also the location of Hijiri-jinja Shrine, believed to be deeply connected to the history of the presentation of the native copper to the Imperial Court, and the shrine has become popular in recent years as a mystical “power spot” said to increase one’s luck with money.
