Keikyu Kawasaki Walking Guide — Old-School Chinese Food and Vintage Clothing in 3 Spots
Kanagawa · Updated: 2026-08-18
There are 3 walking spots around Keikyu Kawasaki Station, ranging from a Chinese restaurant founded in 1937 to a street-style vintage clothing shop. All three sit in the Ogawacho, Isago, and Kaizuka areas of Kawasaki-ku, Kawasaki City, and what defines this area is how long-standing food culture and vintage clothing culture share the same streets. It's a walk where shopping and eating connect naturally into one route.
The suggested order: start with a meal at [Seiki](/en/spot/c3b46463-63e2-48a3-b931-37ccab5447e4), browse vintage clothing at [NEWJOKE](/en/spot/c033c06f-ffc1-4007-bf63-26cea3df9e2c), then finish over coffee at [MOOSE COFFEE](/en/spot/f6a34eb6-20ae-446e-8b3b-61dcb84d805d). Eat, shop, rest.
Seiki
A Chinese restaurant founded in 1937, said to be the first place in Kawasaki to serve gyoza. The signature dish is zhajiang noodles at ¥1,000, made with specially ordered flat noodles, though you can also choose the traditional thin noodles instead. House-made chili oil is available, so you can adjust the heat to your own taste. A good first stop if you want a proper meal before walking.
Address: 2-11 Ogawacho, Kawasaki-ku, Kawasaki City.
NEWJOKE
A street-style vintage clothing shop run by owner Yuji Nakata. The stock covers skate and hip-hop pieces along with vintage T-shirts. Prices span a wide range — Levi's Action Slacks at ¥19,800, and original T-shirts designed by the staff at ¥4,950 each. There are also plenty of new skate tees, which makes it an easy shop to browse even if you're new to vintage.
Address: 1-10-1 Isago, Kawasaki-ku, Kawasaki City.
MOOSE COFFEE
Part coffee shop, part vintage clothing store, run by owner Keisuke Matsuda. Beans come from Yoshida Coffee Roastery, restocked once every ten days. The clothing spans eras freely, from '90s Levi's multi-stripe T-shirts to '50s–'60s open-collar shirts, with more stock in the Japanese-style room at the back. Being able to hunt for vintage over a cup of coffee makes it a fitting end to the walk.
Address: 1-12-15 Kaizuka, Kawasaki-ku, Kawasaki City.
A closing tip
Two of the three spots deal in vintage clothing, which is what makes this particular walk interesting. NEWJOKE and MOOSE COFFEE handle different eras and different genres, so visiting both shows you two very different faces of the same word. If you're short on time, coming just for Seiki's ¥1,000 zhajiang noodles and then wandering wherever the streets take you works fine too.
