Did you know that Lake Hamana is called the “Lake of the Sea”? The reason for this is that the nutrients from the mountains and the ocean that flow from the river mix together, attracting more than 800 species, creating a unique natural environment as a brackish water lake that creates biodiversity.

“Fishing” is one of the ways that anyone can easily experience the charm of “sea lakes.”

When you think of Lake Hamana as an outing spot, you may think of lakeside leisure, but I would recommend the mountains at Lake Hamana.

A lake but a mountain? You may think so, but there are good mountains.

There are two mountains on the west coast of Lake Hamana, the Kosai Mountain Range, and the Oku-Hamana Nature Trail on the north coast.

There are several reasons to recommend this

①It’s not that expensive!

② Lots of maps and guides!

③Various courses are possible!

④It doesn’t have to be secluded!

Imagireguchi, where Lake Hamana meets the Pacific Ocean, is also known as a great fishing spot. There, in Hamanako Imagire Park, there is “Kaikokan,” where you can enjoy various hands-on learning activities related to the sea. A popular spot where you can enjoy outdoor activities by the sea all day long, such as barbecue venues and beaches, with a pleasant view of Lake Hamana and Benten Island in the background. On this day, two people from Sea Lake HAMANA Jenne will try their hand at catching an eel!

Southern Cross shopping street located south of Hamamatsu Station. It used to be a symbolic shopping street south of the station, full of life and bustle with people coming and going, but in recent years it has been in a condition that could be called a typical shuttered street. Three people from Hamamatsuya Yamorisha CON Co., Ltd. are working to restore the area’s former vibrancy once again. They continue to create projects to enliven the station south area, including the popular marche “Hamamatsu Southern Cross Hoshinoichi” where local artists and creators all want to open stores. To find out the driving force behind these activities, we spoke to Ms. Yumiko Suzuki of Hamamatsuya Yamorisha CON Co., Ltd.
