[Music] Alright, today we’re first heading to Oguchi Town in Niwa District, Aichi Prefecture, where the headquarters of Tokai Rika (stock code 6995) is located. Leaving Nagoya Station, it takes just over 30 minutes by car heading north on Route 41. We’ll start today’s journey from here.
We’ll be touring the Owari and Mikawa areas today, and this is the first part of a three-episode series!
This region is the heart that has supported the world’s auto industry led by Toyota. [Music]
Yeah, seriously. The amount of car parts made around here that go out to the entire world is insane. Kabutabi isn’t just about corporate headquarters;
it’s also about the local industries, history, and food around them.
Today we’ve come to Tokai Rika, headquartered in Oguchi Town. [Music] Tokai Rika is a company that builds the “convenience” of a car. “Convenience?” That’s a pretty vague way to put it. What kind of things do they make? For example, the turn-signal lever by the steering wheel,
the light switch, and the A/C buttons. The gear selector, the push-start button,
and even the smart key you can use without taking it out.
Tokai Rika makes most of the parts you touch every day inside a car. [Music]
That’s actually pretty impressive.
You don’t even realize it, but those are things you touch all the time. The first thing that caught my eye when I arrived at headquarters was this—
a banner celebrating **Tokito Oda** achieving the career Golden Slam. Tokito Oda, a superstar in para tennis. You can really feel how both the company and the locals are celebrating with full enthusiasm. He’s been appearing in a lot of TV commercials lately.
Tokito Oda is seriously incredible…
Well, technically he’s from the neighboring city of Ichinomiya though. [Music] Alright, let me explain.
Tokai Rika also puts a lot of effort into sports. They have an in-house TS Sports Club,
including a women’s softball team and a men’s official baseball team—
proper, active athletic clubs. For detailed stock information about Tokai Rika,
check the link in the description. Whoa, looks like some kind of machine just popped out. Oh—here’s something I noticed.
The headquarters building has solar panels on the wall,
and the day’s electricity generation is displayed digitally. Well, big companies often do this kind of thing,
but seeing the numbers displayed like that is actually pretty nice.
Makes you think, “Yep, the sun’s working hard today.” [Music] Alright, let’s head to the next destination—
the Great Hotei Buddha. Now we’ve arrived about ten minutes by car
from Tokai Rika’s headquarters. This is the Great Hotei Buddha, located in Konan City, Aichi. Alright, let me explain.
This Hotei Buddha is one of Japan’s largest
privately constructed concrete Buddha statues. Standing 18 meters tall,
it’s actually about two meters taller than the Great Buddha of Nara. During cherry blossom season or around New Year,
it’s illuminated in some years, making it somewhat of a local attraction. It’s definitely become a popular sightseeing spot. There’s also a fun little spot—
from across the railroad crossing,
the Buddha lines up with the Meitetsu signal lights
and it looks like he’s wearing sunglasses. Here—this angle right here. Alright, next we’re heading to Komakiyama Castle in Komaki City. It’s about a 20-minute drive from the Great Hotei Buddha. From Konan to Komaki—
now we’re entering the historical Owari route. Wait, so we pass Tokai Rika again to get to the other side?
Komakiyama, right?
The mountain castle where Nobunaga first set his sights on ruling the land. [Music] And here we are—Komakiyama Castle towering over Komaki City. This 86-meter-tall hill rises abruptly from the flat plains. This 86-meter-tall hill rises abruptly from the flat plains. It has the presence of a true fortress.
Right nearby, you’ll find the Komaki City Hall and even a Don Quijote store. They’re all located right in this area. Alright, let’s start climbing. As you climb, it doesn’t feel flashy like a tourist spot.
It really feels more like a walking course for the locals. You see joggers and people walking their dogs—
the castle ruins feel completely blended into everyday life here. I get it.
Even though it feels like a simple walking path,
Nobunaga himself used to walk here long ago. This Komakiyama Castle actually played a hugely important role in history. It was a major strategic base at the time. Travel Announcer, could you explain that part a bit more? Sure, let me explain.
First, Komakiyama Castle was built when Nobunaga moved his base
from Kiyosu Castle. He chose this mountain castle as his new headquarters
to lock down control of Owari. After that, Nobunaga expanded his power, unified most of Owari,
and then moved from Komaki to Gifu—
after defeating the Saitō clan and taking Gifu Castle. Komakiyama was later almost unused for a time,
but during the Battle of Komaki and Nagakute—
the conflict between Toyotomi Hideyoshi and the Oda–Tokugawa alliance— the mountain became a critical base again.
Ieyasu’s side reused it as a “key defensive mountain.” During the Battle of Komaki and Nagakute,
it was reused by Ieyasu’s forces as a key strategic mountain. I almost forgot—
the castle keep at the summit isn’t the original building from Nobunaga’s era. The current Komakiyama Castle was built in 1967
as a museum—basically a replica-style keep. Inside, you’ll find excavation results and exhibits
showing structures and documents from Nobunaga’s time. Oh, one more thing—
this castle is often featured in historical studies
because Komakiyama played an important role in Sengoku history. The museum teaches you about the layout of the fortifications
and what the castle town looked like in those days. It really gives you a sense of how essential this place was
for Nobunaga and the power struggles of that era. You can learn how the castle and the town were structured,
and how Komakiyama fit into the history of the Sengoku period. This area is also known as the stage for the Battle of Komaki and Nagakute—
a major turning point in the Sengoku period. After the Honnoji Incident, a power struggle broke out
over who would succeed Oda Nobunaga. Everything was total chaos after Nobunaga’s death.
Amid that, Nobunaga’s son Nobukatsu clashed with the rising Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Nobukatsu couldn’t stand against Hideyoshi alone,
so he asked Tokugawa Ieyasu for help. That’s how the Oda–Tokugawa alliance was formed,
leading to the Battle of Komaki and Nagakute. Ieyasu set up his base here on Komakiyama,
and both sides engaged in intense, drawn-out conflict. But in the end, Nobukatsu secretly made peace with Hideyoshi
without telling Ieyasu, and the battle came to an unexpected end. Seriously? He made peace on his own?
Ieyasu must’ve been absolutely stunned. And that wraps up Komakiyama Castle.
It’s not flashy, but once you know the history, it has real depth. So, you’re getting hungry, right?
Next stop is “Pan no Tora” in Kasugai City, yeah? The main store of Pan no Tora is actually in Anjo, right?
So you’re laying the groundwork for the upcoming Mikawa trip, huh? Alright. After walking around Komakiyama, we got a bit hungry,
so we made a little detour to “Pan no Tora” in Kasugai City. Okay, let me explain—Pan no Tora. First, let’s talk about their symbolic record. They are the shop that sold the most loaves of bread
in a single day—holding a world record. The number sold: 13,271 loaves.
This world record was achieved by Pan no Tora. Their most popular item is the plain loaf bread.
This record really shows how overwhelmingly loved it is. So they became number one in the world with just their loaf bread? The store is amazing, but the passion of the customers who keep coming back is on another level. And here comes their other world record. They also hold the world record for the most curry bread sold in 24 hours. The total sold was 15,455 pieces—
from 4 p.m. on May 20, 2023, to 4 p.m. the next day. Fifteen thousand pieces…
How many staff members were working that day?
The bakers must’ve been absolutely exhausted afterward. This shop is insanely popular.
Even on weekdays, the shelves are constantly being refilled. By the way, their bread variety is massive—
you could come every day and never get bored. Alright, we bought a few things,
so let’s head to the parking lot and try them. Pan no Tora’s “Jifu Cream Bread”—
this is their signature custard cream item. It’s fluffy and soft, and the cream isn’t too sweet—
just the right balance. If you have a sweet tooth, this one is a must.
It’s honestly dangerous how easy it is to keep eating. A perfect pun—since we’re talking about bread, huh? Pan no Tora isn’t just famous for their loaf bread and curry bread—
their savory breads and sweet breads are extremely popular too.
Especially their “raw chocolate loaf.” And of course, their melon bread is a hit as well. Later in this series, we’ll visit the Mitsui Outlet Park in Okazaki,
which actually has a Pan no Tora store inside. It has become firmly established as one of Mikawa’s most popular bakeries.
So this little detour today ended up becoming the prologue to the Mikawa chapter. Alright, after this—our next destination is the headquarters of Shinwa,
a major company in Kaizu City, Gifu Prefecture. This is **Shinwa Co., Ltd.**, securities code 3447. Although this trip is themed around Toyota-related companies,
this next spot is a bit different. This one stands out from the rest of the route—
a slightly unusual stop in today’s journey. Actually, the reason I added Shinwa to the itinerary
is because I paid for this entire trip using the profits
from selling my Shinwa shares. It’s not related to Toyota at all,
but as a shareholder, I wanted to visit the headquarters in person. Alright, let me explain—
Shinwa is a company that mainly manufactures scaffolding systems. They make the things you always see on construction sites—single pipes, wedge-type scaffolding, safety rails—everything workers stand on when building offices, houses, bridges, and factories. In short, they’re the company that builds the “stage” for people to work safely on site. Their share price and dividends are stable, and the shareholder benefits are extremely generous, so I bet there are quite a few individual investors like me who use Shinwa as a funding source for Kabutabi trips. And actually, there’s one more reason I wanted to come here this time. I’ve always wanted to visit “Ochōbo Inari Shrine,” which is located very close to Shinwa’s headquarters. You just wanted to eat kushikatsu, didn’t you?
Well… I can’t exactly deny that. So next up, we’re heading to Gifu’s deep local shrine street—Ochōbo Inari. Up ahead you can see the “South Grand Torii Gate” of Ochōbo Inari.
This big gate is the main entrance to the approach. There’s also a free parking lot next to the gate, and it’s usually packed with cars, but today, for once, it’s surprisingly quiet. Didn’t think I’d ever see it this empty.
Even though the smell of kushikatsu is already drifting out this far. We pass through the big torii, and from here our stroll around Ochōbo-san begins. Alright then, let’s soak in the atmosphere of the shrine approach. Ochōbo Inari has been revered as a god of business prosperity since the Muromachi period.
Together with the worshippers, a lively “approach culture” has grown up here over the centuries. [Music] This place really is a serious power spot for people in business.
No wonder the shrine approach is always so lively. Along the approach, you’ll find kushikatsu, pickles, and deli-style shops,
mixed in with newer places like ramen and curry restaurants. The old-school atmosphere and modern vibes blend together, creating a continuous buzz of activity.
One of the charms of Ochōbo Inari is that worship and street food are basically one seamless experience. Our first stop is on the south side of the approach—
Kushikatsu Yuriko, famous here as “the beautiful mother-and-daughter shop.” Out front, they fry the skewers to order, right when you ask for them. Kushikatsu Yuriko is a well-loved local favorite. It’s not just tourists—regulars keep coming back,
thanks mainly to that first bite: the aroma and light texture of freshly fried skewers. There’s none of that heavy, greasy feeling.
You can feel the warmth of the freshly fried coating right through the stick in your fingers. [Music] And of course, you only dip the skewer in the sauce once. [Music] [Music] [Music] Alright, let’s walk further along the approach and head to the main shrine. Okay, let’s do a quick explanation.
Ochōbo Inari is sometimes counted as one of the “Three Great Inari Shrines of Japan,”
along with Fushimi Inari in Kyoto and Toyokawa Inari in Aichi. It’s known for its blessings of business prosperity and family safety. One unique point is that, unlike many shrines,
they don’t offer things like talismans, charms, or goshuin calligraphy. Instead, the typical way to worship here is to buy fried tofu and candles, and offer them at the shrine. Not long ago, the set of fried tofu and candle used to cost 50 yen.
Now it’s gone up to 70 yen. Even here, the wave of inflation has arrived.
The amount itself is small, but in percentage terms that’s a 40% increase.
Hey, Bank of Japan—when are you going to hike rates? Inflation has already reached the gods’ doorstep. Alright, now that we’ve bought the fried tofu and candles,
let’s light them and offer our prayers. [Music] [Music] Next is the offering of business cards for good fortune in work.
Near the offertory box, there’s a small container where people can place their cards. Company presidents and self-employed people quietly slip in their own business cards, as if to introduce their work and company to the deity,
and ask for future success in business. That’s the kind of custom they have here.
[Music] [Music] There’s another popular spot in the shrine grounds: the “heavy-light stone.”
You lift it with both hands, remember how heavy it feels, make a wish— [Music] —and then lift it again.
If it feels lighter, your wish will come true.
If it feels heavy, it might be difficult this time.
That’s the experience you can have here. [Music] Vegetables and fruit are really cheap here too.
Alright, time to head to our final destination—Tamaya. [Music] [Music]
And now we’ve arrived at one of the most famous kushikatsu spots at Ochōbo-san—Tamaya. This place is always packed; it’s a super popular shop. The shop owner in that flashy golden suit, right?
That presence—you can spot him instantly from anywhere on the approach. [Music] Yep, that’s the one—Tamaya.
The batter is light and crispy, and the slightly sweet miso sauce goes insanely well with it. By the way, their miso-simmered beef tendon is also hugely popular. This is definitely an all-out course.
It has the presence of a “final boss” in a kushikatsu-hopping tour. Honestly, just seeing all the freshly fried skewers lined up
is enough to make you hungry. [Music] [Music] [Music] Ahhh, I want a beer so bad.
Kushikatsu and beer are normally a package deal. Yeah, I want a beer too… But we came by car, so we can’t drink. Hey, you’re a dog though! As I’m eating kushikatsu, I suddenly remember
the atmosphere here at the end of the month. When the month turns, even late at night people flood in,
and the shrine approach actually gets busier than it is during the day. Until pretty recently, it honestly felt like Halloween in Shibuya. The density of people is shocking if you see it for the first time. Well, nobody’s in costume or anything,
but business people, young folks, and tourists all mix together,
and that “month-crossing” night has a really unique vibe. In a way, Ochōbo-san feels like the place
where people “close out and restart the month,”
resetting their mindset for what’s ahead. You also see a lot of hostess ladies from the nightlife district.
Many of them come straight here after work. Yeah, totally.
Some people even come to worship still wearing their stage outfits,
making the month-crossing night even more glamorous. Seeing that really drives home the feeling that
“Ochōbo-san is truly a god of business.” Even in the middle of the night, the smell of kushikatsu fills the air. At the end of the month, it’s basically a festival every time. This mix of old and new shops and that unique atmosphere—
just walking around Ochōbo-san gives you energy. It really feels like a place that lifts your spirits. So, after fully enjoying the shrine approach and this one-of-a-kind liveliness, we’ll wrap things up here for today.
Tomorrow’s filming starts from Anjo City. I’m excited already.
Anjo and Kariya really are like the heart of the global auto industry,
so there will definitely be plenty to see. Yes. We’ll start from Anjo,
visit various Toyota Group–related corporate areas,
and give you a full feel for the atmosphere of the Mikawa region. If you enjoyed this video, please consider giving it a like and subscribing to the channel. [Music] [Music]
