Mindful meoweler tips

Kawasaki is Known as the City of Heavy Industry

Kawasaki is home to many of Japan's heavy industries, including Kawasaki Heavy Industries and Toshiba. It is said that the city's manufacturing traditions date back to the 12th century, when it was known for making swords and metalwork.

Visit the Kanayama Shrine

This shrine has a unique cat connection - there are many cat statues on its grounds, and locals believe that worshiping at the shrine will bring good luck to your cat. Visitors might also spot stray cats lounging around the shrine.

Try the Local Dish, Unadon

Unadon is a rice bowl topped with grilled eel, and it's a local specialty of Kawasaki. It's said that the dish originated in the city's Kawasaki Ward in the 19th century, and today there are many restaurants serving up their own take on the dish.
