Kariya’s Pride: The World-Class Yosami Radio Transmitting Station

Yosami Radio Transmitting Station was known to be the largest radio transmission station in the world when it was built in 1929. It is said this is where the war-time coded message of «Climb Mount Niitaka» was relayed to Japanese submarines for the Pearl Harbor Attack during World War II. After demolishment in 2006, a part of the station’s actual equipment was retained within the museum inside Floral Garden Yosami, which was established at the site of the demolished station.

Kisan [5 minutes by car from the venue]

Kariya Cuisine, Popular Since the Edo Period (1603 - 1868)

«Imokawa Udon (Japanese wheat noodles made in Imokawa, modern-day Kariya City)» was loved and cherished as food that satisfied hungry travelers traversing on Tokaido (the most important of the Five Routes of the Edo Period, connecting Kyoto to Edo, i.e., modern-day Tokyo). «Imokawa Udon» is also said to be the origin of «Kishimen (flat wheat noodles)». The local udon restaurant «Kisan» in modern-day Kariya reproduces this long-time local favorite, and has gained popularity among tourists and locals. The restaurant owner’s recommendation «Imokawa Udon Stewed in Miso» is a must-try speciality.
