The number of foreigners visiting Mikawa-Anjo Station, the next stop after Nagoya Station on the Tokaido Shinkansen Line, is increasing, particularly visitors from Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam.

But why are so many tourists stopping at this station even though there is no famous sightseeing spot or major city nearby?

At around 8:30 a.m. on a weekday, approximately 30 Indonesian tourists boarded the Kodama bullet train at Nagoya Station.
