Kawasaki's Seven Adminisrds

Miyamae Ward

Experience the juxtaposition of tradition and modernity

Embraced by the undulating Tama Hills, the Miyamae Ward area has a number of cultural assets, including the Higashi-Takane remains and the ancient burial mound of Maginu, in addition to the Yogoji Temple built during the Nara period (710 - 745), where ancient Japanese culture can still be experienced first hand.

With the opening of the Denentoshi line between Mizonokuchi and Nagatsuda in 1966 and the Tomei Kawasaki Interchange on the Tomei Expressway in 1968, the ward witnessed a rapid growth in both population and urbanization.

While utilizing the advantages found in both new cultural developments as well as old traditions, the city is striving to preserve the natural environment, promote further area sporting and cultural events, and develop this community into a healthy and attractive living environment.
