Kawasaki Ward

Few districts in Kanagawa Prefecture have a history as closely tied to the growth of heavy industry on Tokyo Bay as Kawasaki Ward. Its eastern waterfront forms part of the Keihin Industrial Zone, a major manufacturing corridor extending around the bay between Tokyo and Yokohama. The ward also contains Kawasaki Daishi, formally Heiken-ji, a Buddhist temple founded in 1128 and among the Kanto region’s leading destinations for New Year visits. This meeting of working port infrastructure, residential neighbourhoods and longstanding religious life gives Kawasaki Ward a notably urban character.
