Outside of the Hanamizuki-Dori station (花水木通駅) across route 6 is Benkei, a relatively famous a la carte style bakery with everything from pastries, to loaves of bread with chocolate in the middle.
Further up the Linimo line between Hanamizuki-dori and the Expo site, you can see the Toyota car museum to the north out of the window.
