After your visit to the shrine, enjoy a leisurely lunch and free time at Toyokawa’s Omotesando shopping street. This charming, retro-style street is famous for Inari Sushi—a type of sushi made with vinegared rice stuffed inside deep-fried tofu pockets. It’s the perfect chance to try this sweet and savory dish, which some say originated here. Wander through the shops, soak in the nostalgic atmosphere, and perhaps pick up a fox mask souvenir.

Korankei Gorge is a beloved destination for nature lovers. And sticking with the theme of “big three,” Korankei is one of Japan’s top three autumn leaf destinations—highly regarded for its 4,000 Japanese maple trees that transform the landscape with rich reds and golds each autumn. But Korankei is not just an autumn wonder—each season brings its own unique charm, from wildflowers in spring to vibrant green foliage in summer, and romantic snowy scenery in winter. We'll take a scenic walk through the gorge, where you’ll have time to snap plenty of photos, including the iconic Tomoebashi Bridge and the 11 different varieties of maple trees. You'll also have time to explore Sanshu Asuke Yashiki Village, a living museum that brings the old Japanese rural lifestyle to life. Here, you can witness traditional crafts like blacksmithing, bamboo weaving, waraji straw sandal making, and indigo dyeing. You’ll have time to explore the village and watch artisans at work.
