One of the geographical characteristics of Kawasaki City's Miyamae Ward is its abundance of hills. Before it was established as a ward, the ward was a peaceful farming village. However, as the transportation network developed, the population grew and urbanization accelerated. Many residents also commute to Tokyo for work or school, demonstrating its role as a commuter town for Tokyo. Famous sites in the area include Shirahata Hachiman Shrine and the Higashitakane ruins. There are also leisure facilities such as Higashitakane Forest Park and Ikuta Ryokuchi Park, where you can enjoy the lush natural surroundings. Higashitakane Forest Park is the only prefectural park in the city, where you can observe flowers and wildlife throughout the seasons.
