Background
Kawasaki Station is one of the terminal stations in Kanagawa Prefecture, served by both JR and Keikyu lines. The area surrounding the station is lined with hotels and commercial facilities, providing easy access to central Tokyo and Yokohama City, and with buses running from Kawasaki Station to Haneda Airport, it is a key transportation hub in the Tokyo metropolitan area. LAZONA Kawasaki Plaza is one of the most convenient large-scale commercial facilities in Kanagawa Prefecture, with a direct connection to JR Kawasaki Station, and boasts one of the largest store areas in Kanagawa Prefecture. The Roofa Plaza, a grassy plaza, is the site of events by artists, etc., and attracts many people from the city and beyond.
Until now, the Kanto area has mainly installed WiFi boxes in Tokyo, but with the new installation, users of Kawasaki Station will be able to pick up WiFi boxes at LAZONA Kawasaki Plaza in advance before traveling overseas, making the service available in areas closer to them. We have decided to install the WiFi box because we believe it will further enhance convenience by meeting the demand for temporary use for sightseeing and business purposes.
