Kawasaki, Industrial metropolis in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan
Kawasaki stretches along the Tamagawa River between Tokyo and Yokohama, featuring an industrialized waterfront zone and residential neighborhoods in western sections.
The area integrated into Musashi Province during the 7th century Ritsuryō period and later developed as a post station on the Tokaido road between Kyoto and Tokyo.
The Kawasaki Daishi temple complex includes prayer halls where taxi drivers request travel protection, while the Fujiko F. Fujio Museum displays original manga drawings.
Multiple rail lines connect Kawasaki to Tokyo in 18 minutes and Yokohama in 8 minutes, making it a strategic location for exploring the Greater Tokyo Area.
The Nihon Minka-en museum displays 25 traditional Japanese houses from different periods, relocated and rebuilt within the Ikuta Ryokuchi park grounds.
