Experience of the stay
Within a 5-minute walk from Hamamatsu Station.
There is a Family Mart on the first floor.
This Daiwa Roynet Hotel does not have separate bath and toilet, but the room was spacious and allowed for relaxation.
I was happy to find two bottles of bottled water.
Since my room was on the front floor, I could hear check-in sounds during the day, which was distracting, but it wasn't a problem at night.
Hamamatsu Station has multiple commercial facilities, with clothing and dining options, as well as drug stores, books, stationery, etc. available.
There was a picture of an instrument hanging in the room.
As expected of Hamamatsu!
Experiences during the trip
I traveled to Hamamatsu by Shinkansen.
From Hamamatsu, I took the bus almost everywhere. I didn't use the train at all during the two days.
Be careful as Enshu Bus does not accept Suica or PASMO. I managed to ride with a credit card that has an IC chip.
- Warmth Forest
It takes 40 minutes by bus from Hamamatsu Station. Admission is 600 yen. It's a small area, so I finished exploring it in no time, which was a bit disappointing.
Handmade accessories, leather products, and more.
- Cable Car
It takes 50 minutes by bus from Hamamatsu Station. A 4-minute journey overlooking the amusement park PalPal and Lake Hamana. Round trip is 1300 yen. The weather was nice and the view was great!
- Hamamatsu Gyoza
I had gyoza at Ishimatsu, the original Hamamatsu gyoza shop located at Hamamatsu Station. The thin skin was chewy and very delicious! I waited for 50 minutes.
- Sawayaka Hamburger
I went to Sawayaka on the 8th floor of the Enshu Department Store.
When I checked in, I received a numbered paper with a time indicating when to return, which was convenient because I could do whatever I wanted even with a 2-hour wait.
I ordered a small size, so I couldn't see the performance of cutting and grilling. Since it was rare, I received a stone and cried while eating. It was delicious.
- Hamamatsu Castle
It takes 15 minutes by bus from Hamamatsu Station. There is a statue of Tokugawa Ieyasu.
- Nakatajima Sand Dunes
It takes 15 minutes by bus from Hamamatsu Station. The local soccer team was running up the dunes.
It was very hot, but the blue sky, ocean, sand, and clouds were beautiful, and I could feel the summer!
For souvenirs, I chose the unagi pie from Shunkado, but the miso manju here was also very delicious. Since it does not last long, I ate it during my stay.
