Gamagori, Coastal resort city in Aichi Prefecture, Japan

Gamagori extends along the shores of Mikawa Bay on the Pacific Ocean, with mountains sloping toward the water and orange orchards dotting the landscape.

The area transformed from multiple feudal estates during the Heian period to direct Tokugawa administration territory in the Edo period until 1867.

The city holds the Miya Festival in October, during which residents push decorated floats into the ocean following ancient maritime traditions.

The JR Tokaido Line connects Gamagori to Nagoya Station with a 42-minute train ride, making it accessible for both residents and tourists.

Takeshima Island, connected by a 387-meter footbridge, contains 230 plant species and houses the Yaotomi Shrine on its elevated terrain.
