Now, I would like to visit places related to Ieyasu Tokugawa Tokugawa!

Okazaki Castle

​Okazaki Castle, is the place where Ieyasu Tokugawa was born.

Ieyasu, who was born as the eldest son of Hirotada Matsudaira, the lord of Okazaki Castle, lived in Okazaki Castle until he was six years old, and then took him to the Imagawa family as a hostage. When the Imagawa clan was defeated in the Battle of Okehazama, Ieyasu moved to the Oda side and returned to the castle, where he lived from the ages of 19 to 29 at Okazaki Castle.

The current castle tower was rebuilt in 1959. The whole area is now Okazaki Park, and is also known as a cherry blossom viewing spot.

Kakukyu Hatcho miso “Hatcho miso Miso no Sato”

Haccho miso is one of the ingredients that Ieyasu is said to have loved. It is a soybean miso that continues to be produced in Okazaki City, and is said to have been ordered and eaten even after Ieyasu moved to Edo.

At Kakukyu Haccho Miso "Haccho Miso no Sato (village of haccho miso)", you can tour the miso storehouse that has been around since the early Edo period for free. There is also a shop where you can buy souvenirs and a food court, so you can only eat here? ! The red miso soft-serve ice cream is exquisite.

Equestrian statue of Ieyasu Tokugawa in front of Higashi-Okazaki Station

If you come by train from Nagoya, please get off at Higashi-Okazaki Station.
It takes about 30 minutes from Nagoya Station on the Meitetsu Nagoya Main Line. When you arrive at the station and exit the east exit, you will see the statue of Ieyasu Tokugawa.

The statue of Ieyasu Tokugawa, one of the largest equestrian statues in Japan, is 9.5 meters high. It seems that the motif is Ieyasu at the age of 25, when he changed his surname from Matsudaira to Tokugawa. The pedestal is also engraved with the words "Onriedo Gongjodo," which Ieyasu used as a flag.

Taishoan Kamaharu Main Branch

If you are hungry, how about going to "Taishoan Kamaharu Main Store" in front of Okazaki Koen-mae Station?

The long-established “Taishoan Kamaharu Main Branch” is famous as the originator of kamaage udon (udon pot served with concentrated broth).

Not only are the kama-age udon noodles in a custom-made tub and miso nikomi udon (udon in miso broth) using local Haccho miso popular, but customers also come from other prefectures for the "morokoshi udon (corn udon)," which has been introduced on TV.

You can't get enough of the corn and the secret soup stock that hasn't changed since the restaurant was founded.

Okazaki is a town full of love for Ieyasu. Why don't you take this opportunity to visit Okazaki?
