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.

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.

Have you seen the 2023 taiga drama “What to do with Ieyasu” (NHK)?

Hamamatsu City, where the main character, Lord Tokugawa Ieyasu, lived for 17 years, will pre-open the “What to do with Ieyasu Hamamatsu Taiga Drama Museum” on January 22nd. During the pre-opening period, you can enjoy exhibits of costumes used in past taiga dramas and videos.

Hamamatsu Shusse Park, where the Taiga Drama Museum is located, also exhibits the stone walls of Hamamatsu Castle (actual) and the remains of Ninomaru Palace!

Do you know the castle stamp Gojoin, which is popular among people who like castles?

This is like a certificate that you can purchase as a commemoration of your visit to the castle. They are sold at 11 castles in Hamamatsu City, including Hamamatsu Castle.

In Tenryu Ward, where many mountain castles have been built, castle seals from castles representing each area are on sale. In addition to interesting designs and sales locations, we will also introduce facilities where you can take a break before or after climbing Takane Castle in the Misakubo area.

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!

Kunma Suisha(water wheel) no Sato, a roadside station in the northwest of Tenryu Ward, Hamamatsu City, is a popular spot where you can enjoy nature, gourmet food, and handmade experiences all year round.

The people in charge of customer service inside the store are mothers from the local Kuma district. Due to the warmth of its customer service and atmosphere, it won the “Tokoro JAPAN Local Roadside Station Grand Prix” in September 2022.

This time, we will introduce you to the highlights of Kunma Suisha(water wheel) no Sato and how to enjoy it.

Hamamatsu is a tourist and cultural city where you can enjoy rich nature, food, and historical romance.

JR Hamamatsu Station, which is served by the Tokaido Shinkansen and Tokaido Main Line, is close to the bus terminal that connects various parts of the city and tourist spots, making it the central station of Hamamatsu.

However, the problem was that the directions to the bus terminal were difficult to understand. So this time, we will show you how to get to the bus terminal from JR Hamamatsu 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.

Sea Lake HAMANA Jenne introduces the various charms of the Hamamatsu/Lake Hamana area.

This time, the girls headed to Muramatsu Shoten, a Hamamatsu deep-steamed tea specialty store in Nishi-ku, Hamamatsu City, to try out the historic tea kabuki game. It seems that the winner of “Cha Kabuki” will receive a special special prize today, but who will get it? ?

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! ?
