Højdepunkter

Meet your guide at Keikyu Kawasaki Daishi Station to stroll the vibrant Nakamise Street, the historic path to the ancient Kawasaki Daishi Temple. Immerse yourself in the atmosphere: smell freshly baked senbei, admire colorful Daruma dolls, and learn about local treats like Kuzumochi. You will continue to the majestic Kawasaki Daishi Temple, a significant religious site with over 900 years of history. Discover its role as a center for yakuyoke (warding off bad luck) and learn about the unique traditions associated with this belief. Then, the real fun begins: the art of Tontoko-ame making! After watching a captivating demonstration by a skilled artisan, you’ll get to try your hand at rhythmically cutting the warm, soft candy with a specialized knife. This hands-on session is a blast, and you’ll take your unique sweet creation home as a memorable souvenir. The tour concludes here, leaving you free to explore the area further or revisit the charming Nakamise Street.

Kawasaki is a long city between Tokyo and Yokohama, with a big temple, a village of old farmhouses and a museum for Doraemon's creator.

Kawasaki is a long, narrow city stretching along the Tama River from Tokyo Bay into the hills, between Tokyo and Yokohama, with factories on the waterfront and suburbs inland.
