The Tokyo of Yore
Kawagoe does such a good job evoking the Tokyo of yore that it is affectionately called Little Edo, a reference to the ancient name for Tokyo. The city's center is filled with a well-preserved collection of century-old kura, or warehouses, that still double as stores, workshops and homes.
If pubs are either dying or transforming back to what some of them once were — places offering food and bed, like the old coaching inns (the inn of yore being the pub of today) — it’s reassuring to find that so much charm has been preserved, that the ale is as good as ever, and that you can get a tremendous meal besides.
yore
n.
Time long past: days of yore.
[Middle English, long ago, time long past, from Old English gēara, geāra, long ago, from genitive pl. of gēar, year. See year.]
