Kanagawa Prefecture is located next to Tokyo, and boasts the second largest population in the country. Yokohama City and Kawasaki City are both close to the urban center and are filled with sophisticated areas and quiet residential spots. One appealing aspect of Kanagawa lies in its metropolitan culture that rests alongside areas rich in nature where you can spend some quiet time.
Bounteous mountains sprawl at the back of the old capital in Kamakura, and the ocean in Shonan is a surfer’s paradise. This is the place to be if you want to find a fancy café or participate in some event to enjoy a leisurely time. This is one of the reasons that the creative types in Tokyo seek out Kanagawa as a place to live.
If you really want to enjoy Kanagawa Prefecture, you can see the tourist sites, but why not take it easy and just enjoy a walk through its towns without any specific schedule? The people who choose to live here are those who enjoy the hustle and bustle of the city, but also revel in nature and living life at their own pace.
