About 100 years ago, the waterfront area spanning Kawasaki and Yokohama was reclaimed and companies in search of large tracts of land began to locate into this area one after another. Heavy industries such as steel mills, power plants, and petrochemicals became concentrated here and spurred Kawasaki City’s development into a key face driving Japan's high economic growth.
Today, the city has grown into a sustainable area where industry and the environment are in harmony, where the public and private sectors have worked together to solve once serious environmental problems, restored a clean appearance, and accumulated advanced environmental technologies developed in the process of such efforts. In addition, the factories concentrated in the Keihin Industrial Zone have become a popular spot for houseboat cruises and bus tours as the “Kawasaki Factory Nightscape,” attracting many tourists every year.
The "Kawasaki Factory Night View" is different from illuminations created for entertainment due to how unexpected it is to see lights used for factory operations being revealed at night as a fabulously beautiful and sparkling landscape. The twinkling lights , the white steam spewing into the sky, and the flames spouting from the great heights of the chimneys towers combine to create a fantastic and dramatic sight that is sure to impress.
Other than a canal cruise or bus tour, you can choose to revel in this sparkling night view from land in the privacy of a taxi. For those who wish to encounter this area with family or friends, as a solo visitor, or with a special someone, we recommend our "Kawasaki City Night Taxi Tour Plan." Additionally, even by day, the factories and towering chimneys in this zone are certain to impress with their sheer scale. For those who prefer day tours, we recommend you experience this vast industrial expanse on our "Kawasaki City Daytime Factory Landscape Taxi Tour Plan". This is a memorable way to glimpse this unique and iconic piece of history that still thrives in Kawasaki City.
