Toyoda

Toyoda lies in the plain of western Tōtōmi near the Tenryū River. To the east, Mitsuke grew around the old provincial government and later became a post station on the Tōkaidō. At Nakaizumi, a residence was prepared for Tokugawa Ieyasu near the end of the warring states period. During the Edo period officials based there managed shogunal lands in Tōtōmi and part of neighbouring Mikawa.
