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.

Tenryu Ward, Hamamatsu City. Akiba Sohongu Akiba Shrine (hereinafter referred to as Akiba Shrine), which is enshrined on the summit of Mt. Akiba at an altitude of 866 meters and enshrines the god of fire protection, is the main shrine of Akiba Shrines that are enshrined all over the country.

Purifying the fire, the Tengu plate-throwing, the giant flint “Kamieiwa” and the Goshuin seal, the golden “Torii of Happiness” and the main shrine… and the Shinto gate that will be revived in May 2023!

This time, we will introduce you to the charm of Akiba Shrine Kamisha with more pictures than usual.

Blueberries are in season in early summer from June to August.

Did you know that you can also go blueberry picking in Hamamatsu?

This time, I went to Sato Fam “Aoitori” located in Miyakodamachi, Hamana Ward, Hamamatsu City, which is also featured in the Yaramaika Tourism.

A plan that includes a 30-minute blueberry picking experience and original gelato containing whole blueberries.

Not only can you eat the blueberries you picked on the spot, but you can also take home a pack of them.

Now, let’s go pick blueberries, which are in season now!
