Kawasaki-ku, Administrative ward in Kawasaki, Japan
Kawasaki-ku extends over 39 square kilometers along the industrial waterfront, featuring a mix of residential neighborhoods and manufacturing facilities.
The district evolved from Kawasaki-juku, a strategic post station on the Tokaido highway connecting Edo to Kyoto during the feudal period.
The district contains the second largest Korean neighborhood in Japan, contributing to a multicultural environment with diverse food establishments and community centers.
The ward maintains connections through multiple railway lines, including JR East services and the Keihin Electric Express, linking residents to Tokyo and Yokohama.
Large industrial complexes, including JFE Steel's eastern Japan facility, occupy substantial portions of the waterfront area, defining the ward's economic character.
