Kawasaki Old and New Shrine Tour

Yokohama, Kawasaki Half day 6

Kawasaki, one of the biggest cities in Japan now, first prospered as a traditional post town on Tokaido (main road of old Japan) in the Kamakura period. How about exploring the dramatic transformation of Kawasaki from now and then at once? The 'Gokaicho' (special public opening) of Ichigyo-ji temple that takes place only twice a year is highly recommended.
