While some share houses in Kawasaki are larger, based on corporate dorms, most are small-scale, renovated private homes.

Kawasaki Station is served by the JR Keihin-Tohoku, Nambu, Tokaido, and Musashino lines, and nearby is the Keikyu Kawasaki Station on the Keikyu Main Line. Kawasaki is located south of Tokyo across the Tama River, faces Tokyo Bay, and is close to Yokohama and Haneda Airport, making it a convenient area for commuting to Tokyo.

Known as part of the Keihin Industrial Region, Kawasaki is a city with a long history that has flourished since the Edo period. The name "Kawasaki" is said to refer to the Tama River ("Kawa") and the delta shape of the land ("Saki"). During the Edo period, the Tokaido road was developed, and Kawasaki became a bustling post town. When Japan's first railway opened, Kawasaki Station was built, and it flourished as a transportation hub. Since the high economic growth period, it has also grown as a commuter town. The area around Kawasaki Station is home to many movie theaters, including Cinecitta, and is a city with a vibrant film industry and a welcoming atmosphere for street musicians.

Why not watch the city, with its ongoing redevelopment and high-rise apartments, from a share house?♪
