On The Mark Hotel Shuttles

Just west of Haneda Airport, On The Marks Kawasaki is hostel-style hotel perfect for young people looking to get to know the area on a budget. Curtained bunk areas provide minimalist but stylish spaces with just enough floor space for a bed and small bedside table. Select private rooms are also available, adding a bit more space that includes desks and flat-screen TVs. Gender-Separated communal showers provide complimentary soaps & shampoo alongside hairdryers in the women’s area, while a trendy restaurant-bar offers tasty western & eastern eats occasionally accompanied by live music from a local DJ. Though shuttles aren’t offered to Haneda Airport, nearby transportation makes things simple - choose from either of the four lines at the nearby Kawasaki Station, or enjoy a simple drop-off of your own either via private vehicle rentals like a simple sedan or helpful taxi.

Surrounded by various attractions that range from cool afternoon cafes to vibrant nighttime hangouts, finding something fun to do in the surrounding Kawasaki area is especially easy if you’re planning to walk. Spend the afternoon shopping across the various floors of Le FRONT Kawasaki adjacent to the train station, afterward diving into the local video game culture at Kawasaki Warehouse’s grungy arcade atmosphere that includes a seemingly endless warehouse space filled with retro games. Even more shopping can be done at the nearby Mitsui Shopping Park Lazona Kawasaki Plaza, while relaxing outdoor comfort can be had at the popular Sojiji Buddhist Temple’s striking shrines and stunning landscaping that includes seasonally blooming cherry blossoms. And for something in its own rite, head south toward Yokohama Chinatown for a look at the largest Chinatown in the world (besides China) renowned for its hundreds of shops & eateries showcased beyond an eye-catching traditional Chinese gate.
