Photo Spot

This small unmanned station is located on top of a small hill, and when you step onto the platform, the beautiful location of Lake Hamana spreads out before you. It is said that 1200 years ago, General Sakanoue no Tamuramaro took a short rest at this pass during his eastern expedition, and so the place got its name from the fact that he simply sat down for a moment. This station was the setting for the novel “Waiting for You at an Unmanned Station.” It’s a spot where you can sit on a wooden bench on the platform and look out over Lake Hamana while waiting for the train.

The best spot is on the horse! ? Report on HAS Hamamatsu Horse Riding Club

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.

“Chikusen” is a long-established catering store that continues to preserve traditional flavors. Popular catered lunch boxes using ingredients from Enshu.

Founded in 1966, Chikusen is a catering store that uses local ingredients and carefully handcrafts each dish.

The catered bento boxes, made with an emphasis on locally produced food, come in around 100 varieties, including seasonal bentos, makunouchi bentos, Enshu specialty bentos, Lake Hamana eel bentos, and hors d’oeuvres.

Mr. Kimata Akihiko, the second generation owner, has been preserving the traditional flavor for 58 years since the restaurant was founded.

We have inherited the company motto from our predecessors, “Taste is the heart, we pursue true deliciousness,” and we deliver lunch boxes to many people, mainly using delicious ingredients from Enshu.

This month’s recommendation is “Chikusen,” a long-established catering restaurant.

A new way to enjoy the cool and soft Hamamatsu Chusen Yukata, not just fireworks.

“Is there a fireworks display somewhere today?” I often get asked when I’m wearing a yukata. This is probably because many people have an established image of it as something to wear when going to a fireworks display. They brightly color the Japanese summer, and just seeing them will instantly get you in the summer mood. In fact, yukata is a specialty product that Hamamatsu accounts for about half of the total amount handled, and boasts the highest amount of yukata in Japan.

The manufacturer of Hamamatsu-made yukata has begun a “new challenge” in order to preserve the area of ​​production and the skills of its craftsmen. What we will be talking about here is a yukata made using the traditional “Chusen-some” technique. In recent years, it has been introduced more and more in the news, and you may have come across this word more often. Chusen-some is a method of dyeing yukata and tenugui with colored patterns, and it got its name from the fact that the dye is poured over the folded fabric. Using traditional techniques found only in Japan, every step is made by hand by skilled craftsmen.
