Visiting an old semi-Western style house

Recently I’ve felt rather stressful and I betted it’s a time to take another day off. Today, instead of going to the office, I woke up very early to take the early morning train going to Kawagoe. Kawagoe is an old town in Saitama prefecture, once the center of commercial transaction of the area, I think, and now the popular one-day trip destination with its streets with many old, grand houses of merchant family or Western style buildings - most of them are now used as the restaurants or shops for young tourists, and some famous temples and shrines.
