Hello.

My name is Takuma Sato and I am a member of the regional revitalization cooperation team in Kosai City.

It’s been getting colder lately, and I feel like winter is coming…!

The other day, I went to Hamaichi to survive the cold weather.

This time, I would like to introduce the situation and recommended courses!

Do you ever feel like you have a little time until the Shinkansen or the beginning?

Therefore, in this article, we will introduce places around Hamamatsu Station where you can sightsee and kill time within a 10-minute walk.

・Play (sightseeing spots)

・See (photo & walk)

・Drink (alcohol)

・Eat (snack)

I will introduce you from this perspective.

After the coronavirus pandemic, Hamamatsu’s restaurants are starting to get crowded again.

There are many tourists and business travelers from outside the prefecture, and there are more opportunities to see people staying near the station heading to restaurants in town with a carry case in hand.

Today, Hamamatsu/Hamanako Daisuki Net will introduce restaurants where you can casually enjoy eating and drinking in Hamamatsu town.

\ Autumn tourist season begins ~ /

Once you get some relief from the midsummer heat, you’ll want to go out.

This time, we will introduce two service areas in Hamamatsu City.

picture? Service area? For those who thought so! !

If you read till the end, you will definitely want to go (lol)

In recent years, service areas are not just rest areas on expressways.

It’s so fulfilling that some people go out just to see the service area.

It is also a spot that you can easily go to without having to get on the expressway.

It’s fun to rediscover local gourmet food and sweets!

From exclusive souvenirs that can only be purchased here to gourmet food, only available here in Japan! to the highlights including

Let’s go to the service area where Hamamatsu citizens can also enjoy.

《Basic information for each service area》

Everyone, do you know about the “Kosai Oiden Festival”, which is one of the big events held in Kosai City?

There were years when the event could not be held due to the coronavirus pandemic, but last year (2022) we moved the venue from Washizu Station to Boat Race Lake Hamana and were able to hold it for the first time in three years while taking measures to prevent infectious diseases. .

This year (2023), the 28th Kosai Oiden Festival will be held on September 16th (Saturday) at the parking lot opposite Lake Hamana from the boat race, which overlooks Lake Hamana.

Where is the eel’s hometown? When asked, I couldn’t help but say, “This is it! “and,

A place you’ll want to talk about… [Suigetsuro/Suigetsuro] standing on the shore of Lake Hamana

[Toku Hamanako Bettei] is located on the second floor of Sagetsuro.

The large windows offer a panoramic view of Lake Hamana, making you feel as if you are inside Lake Hamana.

The live eels and fresh fish carefully selected by the long-established eel restaurant “Unagi Toku” are served here.

You can go beyond enjoying with your five senses and enjoy the sixth sense of your imagination.

When it comes to activities at Lake Hamana, marine sports enjoyed on the lake are popular, but did you know that new marine sports will be introduced in July 2023?

That is the “Pedal SUP & Kayak” that we will introduce this time.

“Pedal SUP & Kayak” is a cutting-edge activity that is easy to enjoy in casual clothes and has the exhilarating feeling of moving smoothly across the lake like cycling.

This time, I actually experienced pedal kayaking, so I will report on its charm!

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!”

I’m reposting this so you can know what kind of event it is.
Please check the official website for the latest information.

Blueberries, a popular bluish-purple, sweet and sour fruit that ripens from early summer to summer, have become popular in recent years due to their delicious taste and ease of eating.

This time, Jenne and her friends visited “Aoi Tori,” a blueberry picking farm located in the Miyakoda district of Kita Ward, Hamamatsu City. After enjoying fresh blueberries at the same garden, we cooled off with some special shaved ice.

Tenryu Hamanako Railway is a third sector railway that connects Kakegawa Station to Shinjohara Station in Kosai City via Hamamatsu City.

There are a total of 39 stations. Enjoy the scenery from the train windows along the line and see the station building, which is a registered tangible cultural property of the country. Stores attached to station buildings are also popular.

This time, I would like to tell you about the train journey I enjoyed using a free ticket from Shinjohara Station in Kosai City to Tenryu Futamata Station.

When do you buy souvenirs during your trip?

Ekimachi West, which is directly connected to JR Hamamatsu Station, has a wide selection of must-see Hamamatsu souvenirs, including Lake Hamana eel and Hamamatsu gyoza, as well as local sake, green tea, and sweets.

This time, we will introduce stores in Ekimachi West that specialize in Hamamatsu souvenirs, roughly divided into Hamamatsu souvenirs, sweets, and restaurants (cafes and restaurants). Each one is a delicious specialty of Hamamatsu.

Do you know about “Takiya fishing” which has become a popular activity at Lake Hamana at night in recent years?

This is a traditional fishing method at Lake Hamana that involves catching crabs, shrimp, sea bream, etc. with harpoons and nets. It’s a very luxurious experience where you don’t just catch the seafood, the boatmen cook it on the raft.

This time, Jenne and her friends will be taking on the challenge of takiya fishing! We will send you a lot of photos, including the party we enjoyed after returning from fishing. I wonder if I can catch the Sawtooth Crab! ?
