Toyokawa, Industrial city in Aichi Prefecture, Japan

Toyokawa is an administrative city in Aichi Prefecture, central Japan, spreading across plains and the foothills of the Mikawa Mountains. The place combines residential neighborhoods, farmland, and industrial zones connected by local roads and larger traffic routes.

The settlement served as a post station along an overland route during the Tokugawa period and evolved into an industrial site in the 20th century. The establishment of military facilities from 1939 accelerated growth and shaped the development after World War II.

The place takes its name from the nearby Toyogawa River, which runs through the eastern part and has shaped local identity for centuries. Many residents visit the Inari shrine for everyday prayers and seasonal celebrations that mark the rhythm of the year.

The place is accessible by public transport, with main routes also suitable for cycling. Local signage and information boards help visitors navigate the key areas once inside.

The place produces specialized agricultural items such as spray chrysanthemums, roses, and perilla leaves alongside automobile parts and optical instruments sold locally. An atmospheric research institute from Nagoya University operates scientific facilities here, occasionally open to visitors during special events.
