La Cittadella is a small area close to Kawasaki Station where you can get a taste of Italy. The area is designed to look like a villa with Italian style architecture. The street is lined with restaurants where you can find Italian food and other Western cuisine. There is also a big cinema and concert hall for entertainment. It is perfect if you feel like escaping the hustle and bustle of Tokyo for a couple of hours. Head out to Kawasaki and bask in the ambience of Italy.
