Time Bell Tower, known as Toki no Kane, is a historical landmark situated in the city of Kawagoe, Saitama Prefecture, Japan. Originally constructed in the early Edo period, the tower has undergone several reconstructions due to fires and other damages, with the current structure dating back to 1894. Standing at approximately 16 meters high, the Time Bell Tower has been an enduring symbol of the city's rich cultural heritage. It was traditionally used to signal the time to the townspeople, and even today, its bell chimes four times a day, preserving this age-old custom.
