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!”
Hamamatsu City – A Comfortable and Welcoming City for Muslims!
Hamamatsu City in Shizuoka Prefecture is well known as a multicultural city, offering a comfortable and welcoming environment for Muslim residents and visitors alike. The city is home to a wide variety of halal-friendly supermarkets and restaurants, allowing Muslims to enjoy daily life without worrying about dietary restrictions.
For example, “Al-Hakim Halal Mart,” located near a mosque, is a popular destination for Muslims from countries such as Indonesia, Bangladesh, Malaysia, and Pakistan. It offers not only halal food ingredients and ready-made meals but also clothing, toothbrushes, and other daily necessities, all halal-certified.
“Matahari Café is a restaurant run by a Japanese chef who is married to an Indonesian woman, serves only halal dishes and provides prayer mats and a foot-washing area for Muslim guests, ensuring religious needs are respected.
Sea Lake Report: Walk along the Okuhamana Nature Trail in search of spectacular views.
Lake Hamana may have a strong image of marine leisure, but not many people know that it is actually a place where you can enjoy hiking and trail running. To the west are the Kosai Mountain Range, and to the north are the mountains Jogamine and Tommakuyama, where hiking trails are available. It is also popular as a low-altitude hike that can be easily done on holidays.
This time, I used the Tenryu Hamanako Railway to walk the course from Hamanako Sakume Station to the summit of Jogamine and descend to Kiga Station, and I would like to share with you how it went.
