    Kanagawa Kawasaki-shi Tama-ku Masugata 7-1-2

    小学生の子供とプラネタリウム目的で訪問。 プラネタリウムは説明をしてくれて今時のヒーリング目的のところとは違い勉強になる。 ちょうど火星が近づく頃で火星の説明もあり。ネットの事前予約ができず科学館に直接並んでチケット購入するのが時代に反している。 ただ、他の展示のみどころが少なすぎてまったく時間を潰せない。手に触る展示は中止されています。

The first character in the park's name is derived from Shenyang City, Liaoning Province, China. The second character means ""beautiful,"" and the park is full of wonderful Shenyang-esque views.

  • Kawasaki City Traditional Crafts Center

    Kanagawa Kawasaki-shi Tama-ku Masugata 7-1-3
    An open-air museum featuring old kominka houses. It features 25 Cultural Properties that have been transferred to the location and rebuilt, including private homes from the Edo period. They run eight indigo vats, passing down Kawasaki City's indigo dying traditions, and offer easy access to traditional indigo dyeing workshops. There are three workshops available: Handkerchief dyeing, dyeing your own item, and dyeing for groups. Reservations are required for the latter two workshops. They aren't absolutely required for handkerchief dyeing, but it's not a bad idea; if they fill up with group reservations you might be out of luck.

    Kanagawa Kawasaki-shi Kawasaki-ku Nisshincho 1-11

    アマゾン展示ゾーンが改修中のために入場無料とのことで小さな子を連れて行ってみました。川崎駅前のルフロンの9〜10階にあるのですが、無料のためか小さな子連れがたくさんいて2台のエレベータだけでは捌ききれていませんでした。展示しているのはどちらかというと地味な川の魚がほとんどで小さな子達はすぐに飽きていました。これでは、アマゾン展示ゾーンが戻ったとしても大人1名の入場料2,000円高いと思います。

    武蔵小杉駅からバスで10分程度のところにあります。周りは自然豊かな環境で、美術館では企画展示が2種類行われていました。川崎規模のまちだとこのくらい大きくしっかりした美術館なんだと感動しました。1Fには自動販売機が設置された休憩コーナーもあり、そこで一息つくこともできますし、中庭のようなところもありました。

Kanagawa Areas

around-area-map

Kanagawa prefecture acts as an extension of the Tokyo metropolis that spills over into coastal towns, most notably Yokohama city, heavily populated and known for its Chinatown and seaside attractions. Just the right distance for a day trip out of Tokyo, Kanagawa is home to some of Tokyo’s most accessible beaches, including around Kamakura, best known for its Big Buddha. Visitors can also travel a little farther afield for a weekend at Hakone onsen town.
