On November 7th, Jarman International writer Laura Pollacco published a press release on Japan Today, showcasing the historical, spiritual, and retro allure of Kawasaki City in Kanagawa Prefecture.
Just a short train ride from Tokyo (20 minutes) and Yokohama (8 minutes) stations, Kawasaki offers visitors a refreshing escape from the hustle and bustle of its neighboring cities. Among its standout attractions is the Kawasaki Night View of Factories Cruise, a special experience on a yakatabune (traditional leisure boat) where guests can view one of Japan’s leading industrial zones aglow with thousands of lights and flickering chimney flames.
For history enthusiasts, the walking tour of Kawasaki Daishi Heiken-ji Temple–founded nearly 900 years ago–provides a fascinating glimpse into one of the city’s oldest and most revered sites.
