On July 10, 2021, the commissioning ceremony for “Sea Lake HAMANA Jenne” was held at Lake Hamana under clear skies.
Sea Lake HAMANA Jenne is a team that promotes the appeal of the region, made up of women who are active in the Hamamatsu/Lake Hamana area. The new members who joined on this day are Ms. Anna Mizogaki and Ms. Wakana Mizogaki, and they are sisters from Hamamatsu City.
To get to the commissioning ceremony venue, take a boat from Lake Hamana Garden Park. For those who imagined a commissioning ceremony in suits in an auditorium or auditorium, the ceremony on the lake exceeded their expectations. The assembled Jenne dip their feet in the water one after another and receive their letters of commission while looking at the hermit crabs.
To be honest, this commissioning ceremony is an experience program called “Screaming out love in the middle of Lake Hamana” where you can stand in the shallow water that appears in the middle of Lake Hamana and take extraordinary experiences and take special photos.
A rare photo session where Jenne and her friends appeared as if they were walking on the surface of the lake amidst the contrast between the sky and the lake. Even for the girls, who usually work in Hamamatsu, being on the lake felt like a different world, and they thoroughly enjoyed the special stage that appeared on the lake.
On the round-trip boat, you will be guided by an active fisherman, and you will be able to listen to the scenery of Imakiri and Benten Island at the southern end of the lake, as well as the nature of Lake Hamana and traditional fishing, so it is a recommended experience for sightseeing.
When we asked Ms. Anna Mizogaki, who won the 2015 Miss Hamamatsu Grand Prix, about her impressions of the program, she said, “I never imagined that I would be able to stand in the middle of Lake Hamana, so I was very moved.” It’s wonderful that there is!”
Her younger sister, Ms. Wakana, recalls being taken to Lake Hamana to collect clams when she was young, saying, “I have fond memories of being more desperate to build sandcastles than to collect shellfish.” “There is.”
The two sisters seem to be very close, saying, “The scenery from the boat and the sea breeze were so pleasant that I was able to heal my daily fatigue.It’s very romantic, and if I find a partner someday, I’d like to shout out my love for them (lol) )” he answered with a smile.
The most impressive part of this interview was the moment we stepped off the boat onto the lake and walked to the best photo spot. Even though it’s shallow water, it’s still in the lake. Footing is unstable, unlike flat land. The Mizogaki sisters held hands so that they would not lose their balance and be completely submerged in the lake.
Maybe “Screaming out love in the middle of Lake Hamana” is not just a program for lovers. It’s also perfect for sisters, parents and children, and friends to shout out the love they can’t usually express. There’s no one around to hear you in the middle of the lake, so feel free to scream to your heart’s content while taking great photos.
