The Bakufu let the bridges over the Tama collapse and there were ferry connections to nearby Edo in several places in today's Kawasaki, which laid the foundation for the development of the city. The Kawasaki station (Kawasaki-juku, near today's Kawasaki station) on the Tōkaidō was not officially recognized until 1623 as the last of the 53 Tōkaidō stations. On the long-distance Kaidō roads Tōkaidō and Nakaharakaidō built by Edo- Bakufu, stations were built in the area of what would later become Kawasaki, which increased its importance.
In 1611, Koizumi Jidayū had Nikaryō Yōsui built, a canal system on the right bank of the Tama for irrigating the fields, which in some cases still runs through the densely built-up city. Between the Kamakura period and Sengoku period, smaller feudal lords ruled the area until it finally came under the control of the Later Hōjō clan. Around the Heiken-ji Buddhist temple (better known as Kawasaki-Daishi), founded in 1128, a monzen-machi, a busy district for the supply of pilgrims, soon emerged. Since the Heian period, the domain of the Inage clan has expanded here. In the Nara period, the center of the Tachibana district was probably in the area of today's Takatsu district. With the introduction of the Ritsuryō legal system, the area came to the Musashi Province in the 7th century. The course of the Tama and the coast of the Bay of Tokyo have also changed in historical times, so that large parts of the urban area are geologically young.Ĭlassical era Nara period to the Sengoku period History Prehistoric and Ancient era Īrchaeological evidence from the Japanese Paleolithic and Jōmon period can only be found in the northwest Tama Hills.
