Kawasaki

 

Kawasaki is a city located in Kanagawa, Japan and is sandwiched between Tokyo and Yokohama to form part of the Greater Tokyo , the most populous urban area on earth.

Kawasaki occupies a belt of land stretching about 30km along the south bank of the Tama River, which divides it from Tokyo proper, with the city of Yokohama immediately to the south.

The eastern end of the belt is flat, and much of it consists of heavily industrialised and densely built working-class areas, centered around JR Kawasaki Station . The reclaimed coastline of Tokyo Bay is occupied by vast heavy chemical industry complexes at the heart of the Keihin Industrial Area .

In contrast, its western suburbs occupy an area of hills known as Tama Hills and are mostly pleasant, often newly developed residential areas for people commuting to Tokyo.
