Located in the center of the Tokyo metropolitan area, the City of Kawasaki offers direct access to
the largest consumer market in Japan as well as excellent domestic and international transportation links.
Directly northeast of the city is Tokyo's Haneda International Airport, while to the east is the Port of
Kawasaki, a fully equipped international harbor that maintains shipping lines with major ports from around
the world, and because of the port's central location on Tokyo Bay access to the neighboring ports of Tokyo
and Yokohama is both simple and convenient.
Additionally, Kawasaki's connection to the country's extensive network of rail lines and roads provides for
quick and easy links to Japan's major urban areas.

Kawasaki, blessed with such exceptional geographic location, over the years has accumulated numerous research
and development institutions as well as cutting edge industrial technologies, making it one of the more
prominent hi-tech centers in all of Japan.
Many major companies active on the global market today are located in Kawasaki, and the city has amassed over
200 research and development institutions representing various fields including the IT, electronics, machinery,
and biotechnology industries. As a result, the percentage of the workforce employed at scientific-related
research and development organizations is number one in Japan.
In addition, Kawasaki offers a safe, comfortable living environment with a temperate climate and little to no snowfall
during the winter months. With Tokyo station only 18 minutes away via rail, downtown Kawasaki provides a gateway to
experiencing and exploring Japan's diverse culture such as Kabuki, Sumo, and National Museums that are
located in the immediate area. Kawasaki also offers convenient connections to major tourist destinations in Japan,
such as Mt. Fuji, Hakone, Kyoto and Nara.

Furthermore, the various cultural facilities located in Kawasaki including the
MUZA Kawasaki Symphony Hall and
Taro Okamoto Museum of Art
not to mention the city's beautiful natural surroundings, provides for an outstanding living environment.
In closing, I understand the potential that Kawasaki's industrial base offers both businesses and
investors, and taking into account the various, dynamic charms of the city, I sincerely look forward to
welcoming your business to Kawasaki.
