Traveling in Aichi - Part 1 -

If Michelin's standard is "outstanding cuisine that's worth traveling for," then the true purpose of gambling is "traveling specifically for the enjoyment of gambling." Like visiting temples and shrines, the ultimate goal seems to be to visit all three Sankei Auto tracks. Drink with the locals and watch the races while spreading out your predictions. If you win, you go to the bar to celebrate. If you lose, you drink to drown your sorrows. And of course, don't forget to buy souvenirs. I experienced the depth of this adult pastime in Aichi, a mecca for gourmets and gamblers.
