Where to stay in Kozakai-chō
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
Toyokawa holds the beds here. Kozakai-chō was a town in its own right before it became part of the city, so its accommodation is the city's rather than its own, and the two names cover ground close enough that the distinction rarely matters to a visitor. Aichi Prefecture widens the field.
Larger bases across the prefecture put Kozakai-chō within an ordinary day's reach, which suits anyone treating Hoi District as one stop on a longer route.

About Kozakai-chō
What are the main landmarks in Kozakai-chō?
Nothing in Kozakai-chō is entered as a monument. Its older written form Kozakai-mura marks the place as a village before it was a town, and that shift in status is the clearest historical marker the district carries. Hoi District supplied its administrative frame.
Toyokawa surrounds it and is where an itinerary would normally point, leaving Kozakai-chō as quieter ground on the Aichi Prefecture side of the route.
What is the history of Kozakai-chō?
Kozakai took town status in 1906. Before that the place carried the name Kozakai-mura, the village form, and it sat within Hoi District in Aichi Prefecture for as long as that district framed local administration. The town no longer stands alone.
Toyokawa absorbed it, and Kozakai-chō survives as a district name inside the city rather than as a town of its own.
Where is Kozakai-chō?
