Kanagawa is a coastal prefecture just south of Tokyo. To the east is the capital city, Yokohama, home to a large Chinatown lined with food stalls and restaurants. Also in Yokohama are the traditional, landscaped Sankei-en Garden and the Landmark Tower skyscraper with its rooftop garden. Ōsanbashi Pier features waterside paths and shops. Northeast is the city of Kawasaki and its Buddhist Kawasaki Daishi temple.

Waterside Kanagawa Ward is home to the Nissan Engine Museum, with its displays of classic and prototype models, and to the towering turbine of the Hama Wing wind farm. Crowds picnic under springtime cherry blossoms in Mitsuzawa Park, and watch Yokohama FC play soccer at the adjoining stadium. Popular izakaya pubs and cafeteria-style restaurants dot the district. The district includes industrial land in Tokyo Bay

Nearest train station from the apartment is Kanagawa station which is only 8 minutes walk away and Haneda aiport is only 30 minutes drive away.
