*''Japanese'': 神奈川宿 ''(Kanagawa-juku)''
Kanagawa-juku was one of the 53 stations along the [[Tokaido|Tôkaidô]], early modern Japan's main thoroughfare. In the [[Meiji period]], Kanagawa train station (''Kanagawa-eki'') was built in the area, on reclaimed land. The station operated from [[1872]] until 1928, when it was replaced with [[Yokohama Station]], a short distance away.

Though Kanagawa was originally stipulated in the [[Harris Treaty]] and the other treaties of [[1858]] as a [[treaty port]], [[Ii Naosuke]] was able to implement a violation of these agreements, to open [[Yokohama]] as the treaty port instead.<ref>Marco Tinello, "The termination of the Ryukyuan embassies to Edo : an investigation of the bakumatsu period through the lens of a tripartite power relationship and its world," PhD thesis, Università Ca' Foscari Venezia (2014), 182-183.</ref>
