Tsurumi-ku

Semi-industrial Tsurumi-ku covers a busy port and factory zone, with dramatic city skyline views from Daikoku Promenade. The Sojiji Buddhist temple complex sits in peaceful grounds, with meditation classes and a museum of Zen relics, while Mitsuike Park is known for its springtime cherry blossoms and vibrant maple leaves in fall. Residential areas host a few mainstream shopping centers and casual izakaya bars.
