Tenryu Hamanako Railway is a third sector railway that connects Kakegawa Station to Shinjohara Station in Kosai City via Hamamatsu City.

There are a total of 39 stations. Enjoy the scenery from the train windows along the line and see the station building, which is a registered tangible cultural property of the country. Stores attached to station buildings are also popular.

Have you seen the 2023 taiga drama “What to do with Ieyasu” (NHK)?

Hamamatsu City, where the main character, Lord Tokugawa Ieyasu, lived for 17 years, will pre-open the “What to do with Ieyasu Hamamatsu Taiga Drama Museum” on January 22nd. During the pre-opening period, you can enjoy exhibits of costumes used in past taiga dramas and videos.

Hamamatsu Shusse Park, where the Taiga Drama Museum is located, also exhibits the stone walls of Hamamatsu Castle (actual) and the remains of Ninomaru Palace!

Hamamatsu is the place where Tokugawa Ieyasu, the main character of the 2023 historical drama “What to Do with Ieyasu” (NHK), spent 17 years of his youth. Therefore, the area around Hamamatsu Castle is dotted with places related to Lord Ieyasu.

The “Ieyasu Promenade” is a place where you can walk and visit places related to this. There are two walking routes: the “Battle Route” and the “Castle Inner/Castle Route.”

This time, we will take you around half of the “Castle Inner/Castle Route”, which is the east side of Hamamatsu Castle. Let’s set out with the leaflet in hand!
