Toyotashi Station (豊田市駅)

About this spot

Shopping complexes and restaurants gather around Toyotashi Station (豊田市駅), the center of Toyota City. With food courts and restaurants available, the strength here is that everyone can choose what they want to eat even when children's tastes differ. Resting properly in the air-conditioned indoors lets you enjoy the afternoon water play with energy. It is reassuring to stock up here on towels, plastic bags and sunscreen for water play. Toyota Stadium is just across the Yahagi River (矢作川), close enough to reach on foot.

Tips

Restaurants get crowded around noon on weekends and holidays, so going in during the latter half of the 11 o'clock hour or shifting to around 1 p.m. lets you be seated without waiting. Parking fee systems differ by facility, so check how parking tickets are handled. Limiting shopping to only what you need leaves the afternoon free to enjoy at a relaxed pace.
