Hi, I’m Tabi!
Between Tokyo and Yokohama, Kawasaki offers a large temple and traditional houses amid greenery. The Daishi area in the east and Ikuta Ryokuchi in the west are apart; choose one first.
This guide covers places within Kawasaki City, not the entire prefecture or province, or places immediately beside your app check-in.
