Extremely convenient in all aspects, without being crazy like Shinjuku, Shibuya or Tokyo Stations. Lazona mall, Azalea underground mall, LeFront mall, Atre depart, every chain store/shop imaginable, hundreds of restaurants... all directly connected within 5min-walk radius from the Station without ever needing to go outside on a rainy day or hot summer day. Nikko Hotel is cheap and clean and is part of this connected complex. And transport-wise, Kawasaki is fast to get to most places in Tokyo-Yokohama corridor.
