Kawasaki

Kawasaki is best known within Japan for Kawasaki Daishi, a major Shingon Buddhist temple that draws worshippers at New Year. Set between the Tama River, which marks much of the city’s northern boundary with Tokyo, and Tokyo Bay, Kawasaki combines dense urban districts with a vast waterfront industrial belt in the Keihin Industrial Zone. It developed as a post station on the Edo-period Tōkaidō road: Kawasaki-juku was one of its 53 official stops. Today the city is part of the Tokyo–Yokohama metropolitan continuum, while its temple precincts and former highway route preserve a distinct local thread.
