A PR drama called "Kawasaki Holiday" was recently produced in order to introduce people from both Japanand abroad to the sightseeing spots herein Kawasaki city. It is planned that the drama will prove useful inpromoting PR with Kawasaki's sister and friendship cities abroad and with domestic regional bodies andregional tourist areas.
The drama reminds you of the famous cinema, "Roman Holiday". It is a 20 minute drama that starts
with a student who lives near Shin-yurigaoka on the Odakyu Line. By accident ( or destiny?) he meets a
Korean girl who has come to Japan to work in the IT industry. The two of them set off on a motorbike andgradually fall in love as they visit the Okamoto Taro Museum, the Japanese Folk Park, Muza Kawasaki,Cinechitta and other famous places in Kawasaki.
More than just simply introducing images of sightseeing spots the drama naturally conveys to the viewer theattractions of Kawasaki.
It is hoped that from now on there will be a big increase of foreign visitors due to the internationalization ofHaneda Airport and also due to the Asia Venture Business Town at the coastal area of Kawasaki.
Thanks to the cooperation KFV, a volunteer group made up of mostly non Japanese people, the PR drama has
Chinese, English and Korean subtitles.

The fundamental aim Kawasaki Multicultural Symbiotic Society Promotion Plan is to realize a multicultural
mutually beneficial society where people can live with respect for human rights, mutual recognition ofdifferences, and self sufficiency. The plan will help develop richness in Kawasaki society based on nationality,ethnicity and differences in culture.
Kawasaki developed as an industrial city at the start of the1900s. From this time and even up to the present
day people from all over Japan and from foreign countries especially Korea migrated to Kawasaki. The city
became a vigorous multicultural city thanks to these new citizens who took root in Kawasaki and shared theircultures with other people.
In order to continuously improve respect for human rights, to make a city where we can all live at ease, and toeliminate prejudice and discrimination against foreign residents such as South Korean, North Korean andother nationalities there is a continual endeavor to make reforms and changes to various systems and toimprove all citizens conscious enlightenment.
In recent years there has been an increase in the number of foreign residents in Kawasaki. Because of this amulticultural mutually beneficial society has become an important topic for Kawasaki. With different
nationalities and ethnic groups it is important that we can all live together acknowledging each others
differences, respecting human rights and encouraging self sufficiency, thus we can create a vigorous city that iswealthy in cultural differences. To do this the Kawasaki Multicultural Symbiotic Society Promotion Plan wasdeveloped. It was formed on the basis of the Kawasaki City Human Rights Policy Promotional Guidelines thatwere established in 2000. The Kawasaki Multicultural Symbiotic Society Promotion Plan aims to set a
fundamental way of thinking and concrete policies to help form a multicultural mutually beneficial society.
This plan has been developed with the working together and cooperation of citizens, business men, volunteer
groups and so on. It will form a basis for policies that deal with non-Japanese residents of Kawasaki.
