About Kurokawa
Where to stay in Kurokawa
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Kurokawa is a place to sleep rather than a place to visit, and its blank entry on the Kawasaki register makes that plain enough for anyone choosing an address. The trade is simple. A room here sits inside Kanagawa Prefecture, with Tokyo and Yokohama both at the far end of a journey rather than at the door.
If you want an address in the Greater Tokyo Area without paying attention to sights on the doorstep, Kurokawa is honest about what it is.
About Kurokawa
What are the main landmarks in Kurokawa?
Sightseeing here starts elsewhere. Kurokawa contributes nothing to Kawasaki's landmark register, which means the Kawasui Kawasaki Aquarium, the Electric Power Historical Museum and the recorded site 上台北遺跡 are all reached from beyond this district's edge. Even 鶴見中継所 sits on the city's list rather than this one.
Travellers planning around a base in Kurokawa should budget the transit time.
What is the history of Kurokawa?
Kanagawa Prefecture holds the paperwork. Kurokawa's own record offers no founding year and no dated event, so the earliest anchor available is Kawasaki itself, founded in 1924 and counted among the main cities of the Greater Tokyo Area. Nothing dates Kurokawa.
The district's past is carried by the wider account of Kawasaki and of the Keihin Industrial Area around it.
Where is Kurokawa?
Kawasaki takes in Kurokawa along with its other districts, and the whole of that city falls inside the Keihin Industrial Area.
