Anjo City, in Nishi-Mikawa, was opened up for farming after the Meiji Canal was built and was called "Japan's Denmark" for its advanced agriculture. Today the auto-related machinery industry thrives, and the summer Anjo Tanabata Festival and the flower theme park Denpark are popular. The ruins of Anjo Castle, connected with the Matsudaira clan, are also here.
