Make special memories with your dog at Lake Hamana in Hamamatsu. “THE SCENE hamanako birth”
Hamamatsu is an area with a large number of dog lovers, with the number of registered dogs per 1,000 households being 157.6 per 1,000 households (157.6), ranking first in Japan (*). *Refer to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare’s “Examples of Hygiene Reports”
“THE SCENE hamanako”, a luxury dog hotel by the lake, has newly opened in Hamamatsu, where dog lovers gather.
This is the perfect spot for people who want to create special memories with their dogs.
This time, I would like to introduce “THE SCENE hamanako”, a new attraction of Lake Hamana.
There are three main attractive points about “THE SCENE hamanako.”
①Location with a panoramic view of Lake Hamana
②Luxury guest rooms where even large dogs can relax
③ Facilities and services that you can enjoy with your dog
I would like to introduce ① to ③ along with photos of people who actually stayed there.
I want to get it even if I have to wait. Cutlery made in the mountains of Tenryu and recognized by world-class restaurants.
As people spend more time at home, more and more people are becoming particular about cooking. Perhaps because people want to show off their delicious food, tableware and cutlery designed to look good on social media are popular.
Did you know that in the mountains of Tenryu Ward, Hamamatsu City, cutlery is made that not only looks good on social media but is also comfortable to use? It has been recognized by world-renowned restaurant chefs, and was used to accompany the food at rival restaurant gaku in the fall 2019 drama “Grand Maison Tokyo” starring Mr. Takuya Kimura.
[At the workshop. Blue bean plate, cutlery (spoon and fork), new round plate]
This is the work of Mr. Roberto Jun Yuasa, who has a workshop in Tenryu Ward.
When I first saw it on Instagram, I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the words “#woodworking” and “#woodcarving” in the tags. This was because it was so different from the warm image of wooden cutlery that I had until then. Although I had no interest in wooden tableware, I was fascinated by the quiet works that seemed hard and cold at first glance. This is because the photos showed spoons and forks that were so delicate and delicate that it was hard to believe they were carved from wood.
Actually, I’m conflicted between wanting to introduce him and wanting to keep it a secret. Because I haven’t been able to get one myself yet. On exhibition days in Hamamatsu City, more than 20 people line up from the morning, and the works are so popular that they sell out in seconds when sold online.
It’s been two years since I learned about him through his photos, but I had the opportunity to see his work in person for the first time.
