Hamamatsu is a city rich in nature with the sea, mountains, and lakes.
After being soothed by the colorful flowers and green forest, fill your stomach with healthy food and let go of your daily stress. Take a leisurely stroll around the photogenic spots with your camera in hand and take a special photo.
You can enjoy picking fruits such as strawberries at the tourist farm near Kanzanji Onsen. Shizuoka’s proud strawberry brand “Akihime” has a low acidity and soft pulp. In the summer, you can pick melons, and if you wrap them in prosciutto and eat them, you’ll feel a little rich.

Enjoy sweet and delicious persimmon picking in Oidaira, Hamamatsu
This time, I went to Adachi Kakien, a sunny village in Hamakita Ward, Hamamatsu City, to experience persimmon picking, which starts in November.
Oidaira, Hamakita Ward, Hamamatsu City, is one of the leading persimmon producing areas in Japan, and the road to our arrival was covered in orange persimmons, which was very beautiful.
Hamamatsu City has some of the highest sunshine hours in the country, and is said to have very good conditions for growing delicious persimmons.
This was Jenne’s first experience picking persimmons, as the only places in the city that allow persimmon picking are Adachi Kakien and Hamamatsu Fruit Park.
Visiting shrines related to Lord Ieyasu around Hamamatsu Castle/Ieyasu’s walking route (inside/downtown route) Part 2
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!
