“Welcome to Kanagawa” is the 80th episode of the ABC television series, "Desperate Housewives". It is the tenth episode of the show’s fourth season and aired on January 6, 2008, in the United States. This was the last episode written before the 2007-08 Writers' Strike. Its title is taken from a song in Sondheim's "Pacific Overtures". This particular episode does not feature the main theme composed by Danny Elfman, due to the dramatic content in the cold open scene.
