Tokai City is at the base of the Chita Peninsula, south of Nagoya City, and is a "steel town" with steelworks. A long-established shrimp cracker maker has its main store here, and it is also where Kagome was founded. Its output of fuki (butterbur) ranks 1st in Japan, and the Great Buddha of Shurakuen and the memorial hall of Hosoi Heishu are highlights.
