noun + のかわり

かわり as a noun means a substitute, replacement, or exchange condition.

It often takes に to become adverbial.

Remember かわり is a noun and needs particles.

Memorize “noun + かわり” as one fixed chunk, then practice by replacing words in the example sentence. Learn the connection first, then the nuance.
