We are reposting it so you can know what kind of event it is.
Please see the flyer below for a summary of the 2023 event.
A morning market held once a month from April to July every year at Maisaka Fishing Port (Maisaka, Maisaka-cho, Nishi-ku, Hamamatsu City).
This year, following the interview on April 20th, the event is scheduled to be held from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, May 18th, Saturday, June 15th, and Saturday, July 20th.
Although the sale of fresh whitebait caught that morning, which is a specialty of the “Enbai Morning Market,” was not held that day,
A wide variety of seafood products are sold, including fresh fish, clams, dried fish, raw seaweed, and eel, as well as side dishes, vegetables, and fruits.
“Enbai” is an old custom in which fishermen would take their catch home and share it with their neighbors and relatives.
As the name suggests, you can enjoy delicious ingredients and dishes from people involved with Maisaka Fishing Port.
Shopping is not the only way to enjoy Enbai Morning Market!
There is also a permanent tent set up at the venue where you can enjoy a variety of dishes made by locals, such as tempura and fries.
The best part of this event is going to the market and enjoying a delicious breakfast while feeling the clear morning air.
The atmosphere of a fishing town and interacting with the locals will satisfy both your spirit and your stomach.

My own reward trip to heal the fatigue of everyday life②
The place I booked for lunch that day was Funagiraso. Located right next to the Funagira Dam in Tenryu Ward, Hamamatsu City, it is surrounded by green trees, and you can enjoy your meal while looking out at the emerald green reflection of the dam lake.
Funagiraso, which used to be a Japanese-style inn, is now run by a third-generation chef as a French restaurant. It is a place with clean water, and the specialty of the inn at the time was carp dishes, which were said to be good for pregnant women. If you make a reservation, you can still choose carp as your main dish.
Shirakura Gorge, a scenic spot in Hamamatsu with autumn leaves
This time, I went to Tatsuyamacho, Tenryu Ward, Hamamatsu City to see the autumn leaves.
Neither Jenne nor the staff knew much about Tatsuyama Town, so we asked Mr. Haseyama, who is in charge of the Hamamatsuyama Village Ikiiki Support Team Tatsuyama, to show us around.

The photo was taken in mid-November, when the trees were starting to change color, so I went to Shirakura Gorge because I wanted to take beautiful photos, including the autumn leaves.
Lake Hamana’s “new souvenir” Lake Hamana seaweed pasta is now available!
What do you think of when you think of souvenirs from Lake Hamana?
Lake Hamana is a lake that straddles Hamamatsu City and Kosai City, Shizuoka Prefecture. It is a brackish lake with a mixture of seawater and freshwater, as it is connected to the Enshu Sea by a cutaway.
Because it is a brackish water lake, it is packed with nutrients and is extremely rich in fish and other creatures!
That’s why many people may have heard, “The seafood in the Lake Hamana area is delicious!”
