About

Hama-Kawasaki Station serves the Keihin industrial zone, and its two parts, for the Nambu Line branch and the Tsurumi Line, sit on opposite sides of a road surrounded by steelworks and factories. Short trains, overhead pipes and factory chimneys create a gritty, cinematic atmosphere unlike anywhere else in Tokyo's suburbs. Trains are infrequent outside rush hours, so check the timetable before you set up.
