Toyota city – the name reminds you of the global motor company?
Yes, it is where the headquarters of Toyota Motor Corporation is located.
The stadium with over 40,000 seats was also used for major football matches, 2002 World Cup and FIFA Club World Cup in the past.
Some choices of bars are available on the way from the station to the stadium though. We found a lovely café in Matsuzakaya Department store when we visited the city.
The chopstick cover origami was a big surprise!
Their Instagram account also shows what they offer well.
