Kawasaki is a foremost industrial hub wedged between Tokyo and Yokohama. The coastal city belts the banks of Tama River, an expansive aquatic ribbon winding through the Kanagawa and Yamanashi prefectures. This long stretch of tranquil waters creates a scenic backdrop for catching romantic sunsets while enjoying open-air picnics. Steeped in rich history and culture, Kawasaki is teeming with notable temples and museums, including Kawasaki Daishi Heikenji Temple and Nihon Minka-en (Japan Open-air Folk House Museum). If you grew up watching Doraemon, visiting the Fujiko F. Fujio Museum is an unmissable experience. Also affectionately called “Doraemon Museum,” this whimsical art museum pays tribute to the creator of the famous animation series featuring his original artworks and life commentary.
