Well, I really don't get that impression at all about Kawasaki Station area. That whole area is now incredibly vibrant and, to me, there's nothing depressing about it. There's just so much there, and Lazona is awesome. So we can agree to disagree. Of course, not all of Kawasaki has been transformed. And I'm not prepared to say Kawasaki Station area is a good place to raise a family or anything... remember, we're just talking about a place to stay on a trip. But you can definitely put lipstick on a pig (take Musashi Kosugi, for instance).
