- Toyohashi City is the only place in Aichi Prefecture where streetcars still operate, one of just 17 cities and 19 tram lines across Japan. The tram's many seasonal projects make it especially unique. The summertime Noryo Beer Tram comes with a bento box of beer snacks and all-you-can-drink beer. In winter there's the Oden-Densha, where you can taste piping hot oden consisting of fishcakes, daikon radish, eggs, and other ingredients boiled in a light broth.

Nameshi Dengaku KIKUSO
- KIKUSO is a long-established restaurant that has continuously served miso dengaku for around 200 years, since the middle of the Edo period. To make this dish, handmade tofu is skewered, heated, and covered in a thick Hatcho Miso sauce. The sweet and salty taste of the miso stands out even more when eaten atop a bowl of nameshi, rice cooked with chopped radish leaves.
