Insider tip — In Kariya, a Toyota Group company city in Aichi where the global automobile supply chain was pioneered, Kakitsubata Onsen (rabbit-ear iris spring) takes its name from the ancient Heian poem by Ariwara no Narihira — eight-syllable iris verses written at the Yatsuhashi iris garden just kilometers away; the juxtaposition of industrial modernity and 1,000-year-old flower poetry is quintessentially Aichi.
