Kanagawa is part of the Greater Tokyo Area.
Kanagawa is a relatively small prefecture wedged between Tokyo on the north, the foothills of Mount Fuji on the northwest, and the Pacific Ocean and Tokyo Bay on the south and east. The eastern side of the prefecture is relatively flat and heavily urbanized, including the large port cities of Yokohama and Kawasaki, but becomes more relaxed to the southeast, near the Miura Peninsula, where the ancient city of Kamakura draws tourists to its temples and shrines. The western part is more mountainous and includes resort areas like Odawara and Hakone.
The Tama River forms much of the boundary between Kanagawa and Tokyo. The Sagami River flows through the middle of the prefecture.

Kawasaki
Kawasaki (川崎市, Kawasaki-shi?) is a city located in Kanagawa, Japan.
It is sandwiched between Tokyo and Yokohama to form part of Greater Tokyo, the most populous urban area on earth.
