Experience of the stay
"I wanted to experience something a bit extraordinary yet near Tokyo"—this desire led me to choose "Slash Kawasaki," which is within walking distance from JR Kawasaki Station. In this stylish environment with smart amenities, and a bedroom with a projector, I blended workcation with a touch of refreshment!
Check-in was smooth, and from the front desk, I could already sense the urban and highly designed atmosphere. The hotel had a sophisticated space, fusing "playfulness and comfort" that surpassed typical business hotels.
The guest room even features a large projector that displays from the ceiling! Enjoying luxurious night time experiences like a mini theater is one of its charms.
This is a perfect “nearby extraordinary” option for those wanting to escape the city without going far. I look forward to returning to Kawasaki for another day surrounded by movies, books, and coffee.
Experiences during the trip
Lunch at Kawasaki Citizen's Cafeteria Uokina
First, I headed to "Kawasaki Citizen's Cafeteria Uokina" for a meal. The set meal with fresh sashimi and grilled fish was plentiful and had incredible cost performance and satisfaction, unlike what you would expect so close to the station!
A Unique Experience at TAG COFFEE STAND
For my post-lunch café time, I visited "TAG COFFEE STAND". This place offered a fun purchasing experience with smartphone ordering and pickups, and the coffee was stylish and delicious. It was a little café that brought me a bit of joy with its unique atmosphere.
Stimulating Intellectual Curiosity at the Toshiba Science Museum
Next, I casually strolled to the "Toshiba Science Museum" nearby. With a volume of exhibits on the latest technology and historical home appliances that felt worth much more than free, I had a great time.
Enjoying Signature Milkshake at Sen-nariya Coffee
At the retro Showa-era themed "Sen-nariya Coffee", I relished their signature milkshake. Cold, sweet, and comforting in taste, it was a delightful throwback to an old café vibe.
A Healing Moment at Kawasui Kawasaki Aquarium
In the afternoon, I went to "Kawasui (Kawasaki Aquarium)". This unique aquarium was a blend of digital and living creatures, showcasing a fantastic space.
Relaxing Nighttime with Projector at the Hotel
At night, I took advantage of one of the charms of slash Kawasaki, the projector, to enjoy a leisurely movie time in bed. It felt like my own personal movie theater, enhancing the relaxation of my trip.

Refreshing Morning Activity on the Terrace
In the morning, I engaged in some morning activities on the hotel’s terrace space with coffee in hand. It was an open space that didn’t feel like it was in the middle of a city, making reading and work much more enjoyable.
Hotcakes Morning at Marufuku Coffee Shop
For breakfast, I headed to "Marufuku Coffee Shop". The fluffy hotcakes made on a copper plate paired with deep-roasted coffee offered the classic café taste that brings happiness to one's morning.
Leisurely Reading Time at TSUTAYA SHARE LOUNGE
After checking out, I moved to "TSUTAYA SHARE LOUNGE" inside the station building. Surrounded by a variety of magazines and books, along with a drink bar and snacks, it was a perfect way to unwind and conclude my travels.
