This time, I participated in the industrial promotion festival “Araijan” held in Arai-cho, Kosai City, so I would like to introduce you to the event!

After the coronavirus pandemic, Hamamatsu’s restaurants are starting to get crowded again.

There are many tourists and business travelers from outside the prefecture, and there are more opportunities to see people staying near the station heading to restaurants in town with a carry case in hand.

The other day, a fishing experience class and a marine trash pickup rally were held at Arai Benten Sea Fishing Park and Arai Benten Beach in Kosai City as part of the “Sea and Japan Project in Lake Hamana”!

This event is held so that parents and children can rediscover the charm of Lake Hamana, which is a familiar place, while participating in various hands-on activities.

I also participated, so I’ll report on what happened!

Now, this is out of the blue, but what do you think of when you think of Kosai City’s summer traditions?

You may have thought of various events such as “Enshu Arai Tezutsu Fireworks”, “Kosai Lake Fireworks”, and “Kosai Oiden Festival”.

Once you get some relief from the midsummer heat, you’ll want to go out.

This time, we will introduce two service areas in Hamamatsu City.

picture? Service area? For those who thought so! !

If you read till the end, you will definitely want to go (lol)

In recent years, service areas are not just rest areas on expressways.

It’s so fulfilling that some people go out just to see the service area.

It is also a spot that you can easily go to without having to get on the expressway.

It’s fun to rediscover local gourmet food and sweets!

From exclusive souvenirs that can only be purchased here to gourmet food, only available here in Japan! to the highlights including

Everyone, do you know about the “Kosai Oiden Festival”, which is one of the big events held in Kosai City?

There were years when the event could not be held due to the coronavirus pandemic, but last year (2022) we moved the venue from Washizu Station to Boat Race Lake Hamana and were able to hold it for the first time in three years while taking measures to prevent infectious diseases. .

This year (2023), the 28th Kosai Oiden Festival will be held on September 16th (Saturday) at the parking lot opposite Lake Hamana from the boat race, which overlooks Lake Hamana.

Where is the eel’s hometown? When asked, I couldn’t help but say, “This is it! “and,

A place you’ll want to talk about… [Suigetsuro/Suigetsuro] standing on the shore of Lake Hamana

[Toku Hamanako Bettei] is located on the second floor of Sagetsuro.

The large windows offer a panoramic view of Lake Hamana, making you feel as if you are inside Lake Hamana.

The live eels and fresh fish carefully selected by the long-established eel restaurant “Unagi Toku” are served here.

You can go beyond enjoying with your five senses and enjoy the sixth sense of your imagination.

When it comes to activities at Lake Hamana, marine sports enjoyed on the lake are popular, but did you know that new marine sports will be introduced in July 2023?

That is the “Pedal SUP & Kayak” that we will introduce this time.

“Pedal SUP & Kayak” is a cutting-edge activity that is easy to enjoy in casual clothes and has the exhilarating feeling of moving smoothly across the lake like cycling.

This time, I actually experienced pedal kayaking, so I will report on its charm!
