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.
A morning market held once a month from April to July every year at Maisaka Fishing Port (Maisaka, Maisaka-cho, Nishi-ku, Hamamatsu City).
This year, following the interview on April 20th, the event is scheduled to be held from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, May 18th, Saturday, June 15th, and Saturday, July 20th.
Although the sale of fresh whitebait caught that morning, which is a specialty of the “Enbai Morning Market,” was not held that day,
A wide variety of seafood products are sold, including fresh fish, clams, dried fish, raw seaweed, and eel, as well as side dishes, vegetables, and fruits.
“Enbai” is an old custom in which fishermen would take their catch home and share it with their neighbors and relatives.
As the name suggests, you can enjoy delicious ingredients and dishes from people involved with Maisaka Fishing Port.
Shopping is not the only way to enjoy Enbai Morning Market!
There is also a permanent tent set up at the venue where you can enjoy a variety of dishes made by locals, such as tempura and fries.
The best part of this event is going to the market and enjoying a delicious breakfast while feeling the clear morning air.
The atmosphere of a fishing town and interacting with the locals will satisfy both your spirit and your stomach.

Sea Lake Report: Walking the Himekaido Road, Kiga-Mikkabi Edition
I decided to walk down Honsaka-dori (commonly known as Hime-kaido), which has been a side street of the Tokaido since ancient times and has been visited by many travelers.
Last time, I walked from the Amma starting point in Chuo Ward, Hamamatsu City to Kiga-shuku in Hamana Ward.
This time, I would like to continue walking from Kiga-juku to Mikkabi-juku.
The atmosphere is different from the section I walked last time, with cobblestone streets and historic sites scattered throughout.
This is a journey where you can feel the vestiges of the past, when many travelers came and went.
I walked around feeling like a person from the past, so I’ll tell you what it was like.

Run through nature! Trail running recommendations
Are you familiar with the term “trail running”?
Trail running is a type of middle-distance running that involves running in mountains and fields other than on paved roads. In Japan, many people are probably familiar with the names “cross country” and “mountain racing.” Unlike mountain biking and other competitions that use vehicles, trail running has the unique appeal of running through nature on your own. Because you run off-road with ups and downs, you can feel more connected to nature and enjoy the changes in the surrounding scenery than you would with regular running. At a time when various leisure activities are being forced to struggle to prevent infection due to the effects of the new coronavirus, trail running is attracting attention as a way to avoid crowds and have fun.
After doing some research, I learned that Hamamatsu’s running club “Smiley Angel”* has been promoting trail running in Hamamatsu in recent years. Although I had no experience with trail running, I decided to attend a Smiley Angel practice session to experience the new charm of the Hamamatsu/Lake Hamana area.
