Located between Tokyo and Yokohama, the seaside city of Kawasaki is not a particularly touristy city, but there are a few attractions which make it an interesting destination for day trippers from Tokyo.

You can easily travel to Kawasaki by train and travel within the city is easy by bus. Attractions include the Fujiko F. Fujio Museum of Art, which showcases the work of the artist Fujimoto Hiroshi, the creator of the popular robotic cat Doraemon.

History buffs will enjoy visiting Nihon Minkaen, an open-air museum which is home to 25 historic Edo-period buildings. Several of these historic buildings house workshops where you can see demonstrations of traditional Japanese crafts.
