Kawasaki Factory Night Views

The dramatic factory night views of Kawasaki, a port city bordering Tokyo and Yokohama.

Last update :
Supervised by :  Kawasaki City Tourism Association

Kawasaki is a coastal industrial city within easy reach of Tokyo and Yokohama. At night, illuminated plants and red flames rising from smokestacks (flare stacks) create an atmospheric, futuristic cityscape.
Sightseeing tours of these industrial night views are also popular.
Options include tours aboard traditional yakatabune pleasure boats through Kawasaki's canals and bus tours visiting factory night-view spots.
Some tours are accompanied by volunteer Factory Night View Navigators, who explain the appeal of Kawasaki's industrial scenery, while others include a meal.

Highlights

  • Experience a new kind of nighttime entertainment unlike conventional sightseeing.
  • Some tours offer views from inside factory grounds that are normally closed to the public.
  • Because Haneda Airport lies across the Tama River, building heights are restricted, providing open views with a sense of depth.
  • See the lights reflected on the water, a sight distinctive to this coastal industrial area.
  • Bring a smartphone tripod and a night photography app, and you may capture the perfect shot.
  • The concentration of diverse industries has naturally resulted in a wide variety of plant designs and structures.
