Hamamatsu is the place where Tokugawa Ieyasu, the main character of the 2023 historical drama “What to Do with Ieyasu” (NHK), spent 17 years of his youth. Therefore, the area around Hamamatsu Castle is dotted with places related to Lord Ieyasu.

The “Ieyasu Promenade” is a place where you can walk and visit places related to this. There are two walking routes: the “Battle Route” and the “Castle Inner/Castle Route.”

This time, we will take you around half of the “Castle Inner/Castle Route”, which is the east side of Hamamatsu Castle. Let’s set out with the leaflet in hand!

Tokugawa Ieyasu, one of the Three Great Heroes, spent 17 of his 75 years in the prime of his youth in Hamamatsu. As a result, there are still places around Hamamatsu Castle that are connected to Lord Ieyasu.

The “Castle Inner/Castle Route” of “Ieyasu’s Promenade” is a route that connects 12 of them so that you can visit them with a single stroke. This time we will be showing you the south side of this route from Hamamatsu Castle. Don’t forget to take the leaflet before leaving!

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

So, what exactly is happening this month? You may also be curious about the origin of place names.

This time, in order to solve these mysteries, we took a short trip to the moon.

In ancient China, it is said that ideas and inspiration are born in the “Mikami”.

“Mikami” means “Makami” (when you are in bed), “Mikami” (when you are in the bathroom), and “Mikami” (when you are riding a horse).

There seem to be various theories as to why inspiration occurs on a horse, including “a state of deep concentration amidst fluctuations,” “It’s easy to come up with ideas while moving,” and “the relaxing effect of riding alone on a horse.” But what actually happens?

At the HAS Hamamatsu Horse Riding Club in Mikatahara-cho, Kita-ku, Hamamatsu City, we spoke to Taiki Yakushi, who is involved with horses on a daily basis, about horseback riding.

The company name is PETIT, which means “small/cute” in French.

What was waiting for me was a man who looked good in a jumper, which was a bit unexpected given the company’s image of being small and cute. It was a name.
