Toyota

Toyota is best known in Japan as the home city of Toyota Motor Corporation. The company’s headquarters are here, and the municipality adopted the name Toyota in 1959, replacing Koromo—a direct marker of the automotive industry’s role in its modern identity. The Yahagi River runs through the city’s broad territory, which reaches from the developed Mikawa Plain into forested uplands to the east. Industry remains central, yet Toyota also encompasses neighbourhoods, farming areas and mountain communities. Its Obara district is known for shikizakura, a cherry variety that can flower in autumn as well as spring. See how Toyota connects with Aichi and central Japan by browsing webcams nearby.
