Living in Kawasaki

A key location for living close to work, sandwiched between Tokyo and Yokohama. The west exit has neat redevelopment centered on Lazona Kawasaki, while the east exit is lively with a mix of commercial facilities and old shopping streets. However, the Horinouchi and Minamicho area, within a 15-minute walk to the east, is a zone with a concentration of entertainment businesses, so even within Kawasaki, how a place feels differs greatly depending on where the listing is.

It is a transport hub between Tokyo and Yokohama served by the JR Tokaido and Keihin-Tohoku lines and the Keikyu Line. Large shopping malls such as Lazona in front of the station and redevelopment have given it neatly organized daily-life infrastructure. The area around the lively district is crowded and the lingering image of an old industrial city is a matter of taste. With good access to both Tokyo Station and Shinagawa and to Yokohama while rents are more reasonable than in Tokyo, demand is high among office workers and single residents who want both commuting convenience and low costs.
