Insider tip — Gamagōri on Mikawa Bay is steeped in Tokugawa history — Tokugawa Ieyasu was born in Okazaki (15 km away) and the Mikawa region's samurai were the iron core of the Edo Shogunate's military. 'Sento Hime' (千姫 — Lady Sen) was Ieyasu's granddaughter and Hideyoshi's grandson's wife — her dramatic life included the fall of Osaka Castle (1615) and remarriage to the Honda clan; Gamagōri's bay produces excellent clams and oysters, best enjoyed after a soak.
