Kawasaki Daishi Heiken-ji Temple has the second biggest number of visitors on New Year's Day (Hatsu-moude) in Japan. Their Goma Pray is very strong with the sounds of drums and sutra recitation! Shopping in the precinct can be also an attraction.◎There're parking lot (both free and toll), but they're possible to be full except for the early morning. Train is most convenient.
