Toyohashi

Toyohashi extends across 261 square kilometers on the southeastern coast of Aichi Prefecture, bordered by Mikawa Bay and the Atsumi Peninsula.

The region contains archaeological discoveries from the Japanese Paleolithic period, including human remains and Naumann elephant bones dated to 10,000 BC.

The city maintains multiple annual festivals and houses cultural landmarks such as the Yoshida Castle, Natural History Museum, and Kamo Iris Garden.

The Port of Mikawa handles substantial automobile imports and exports, while the Tokaido Shinkansen and Tomei Expressway provide efficient transportation connections.

Toyohashi Zoo, established in 1899, stands as one of the earliest zoological institutions in Japan and continues operations in the present day.
