Be yourself, just as you are. A new Kawagoe sightseeing staple to preserve memories in tangible form: a "Hands-on Workshop & Fortune-telling" spot
【as-is川越】
Located in Motomachi 1-chome of Kawagoe City, Saitama Prefecture, just a short walk from the historic Kurazukuri warehouse district, is "as-is川越".
With the concept of "Be yourself, just as you are," we offer a wide variety of workshops that give shape to visitors' wishes and feelings, along with compassionate fortune-telling that stays close to the heart.
Right by Kawagoe City Hall, our shop—marked by vibrant balloons—has a welcoming atmosphere that makes it easy to drop by between sightseeing.
From creating one-of-a-kind decorative balloons to crafting power stones imbued with your wishes, special experiences await where you can bring your travel memories home as something tangible.

1. One of a kind! Make a "Decoration Balloon"
The "Decoration Balloon," where you freely pack colorful parts, ribbons, and flowers into a clear balloon, is the most popular activity at as-is川越. Choose from three sizes (S, M, L), and thanks to the attentive support of the staff, anyone from children aged 5 to adults can easily create a high-quality piece. Perfect for yourself, and ideal as a birthday or anniversary gift or for celebrations.

2. Create "Power Stone & Omamori" filled with wishes
Choose stones that match how you feel now—like "I want to boost my luck in love" or "I want to work hard"—and try making a power-stone bracelet. From a rich variety of natural stones, and with advice from an instructor, you can create an amulet that’s uniquely yours. The "Sparkly★ Omamori Key Holder," which can be made quickly and easily, can also be created in your favorite color and is very popular for making matching items with friends or couples.

3. Gentle, heartwarming fortune-telling
"I feel kind of foggy," "I want someone to listen to me"…… At such times, the gentle, companionate readings are highly regarded. For consultations on love, work, and life, they use divination tailored to each person’s concerns and carefully convey tips and advice for the future. They also write the results on a card and hand it to you, so you can look back on it later. There’s also "children’s fortune-telling" for elementary schoolers, so the whole family can enjoy it.
