He scored his first goal for the club in a 3–0 win against Sagan Tosu. He also had a loan spell at Fagiano Okayama where he scored 20 goals in 80 games in all competitions over a two-year loan spell.
Eupen On 5 January 2018, Belgian First Division A side Eupen managed by Claude Makélélé announced they had signed Toyokawa from English side Leeds United on loan. However, after Leeds denied they had signed Toyokawa, on 21 January 2018, Eupen (who are owned by Aspire Academy who also have an official partnership with Leeds United), confirmed they had in fact signed Toyokawa directly from Kashima Antlers on an 18-month deal but had held 'consultation' with Leeds United prior to signing the player. He made his debut for Eupen as a substitute on 17 February against Zulte Waregem in a 3–2 defeat.

He scored a hat-trick and also gained an assist for Eupen in the final 17 minutes of the game against Mouscron to earn Eupen a 4–0 victory and to stay up by a one goal better goal difference.
With the league splitting into qualification for European places in the 2017–18 Belgian First Division A, Toyokawa scored a further 4 goals in 8 games, taking his tally for the 2017–18 season to 8 goals in 12 games for Eupen.
