Welcome to Hamamatsu City!【English version】

Hamamatsu is the largest city in Shizuoka Prefecture with a population of approximately 800,000 and total area of 1,558 square kilometers.
The city is located about halfway between Japan's two largest cities, Tokyo and Osaka, and is also located near the center of the entire country. This convenient location supports the industries and the liveliness of Hamamatsu.
The city has a warm and pleasant climate with plenty of sunshine, making it an ideal place to live.
Not only the weather but also the people of Hamamatsu are typically warm and kindhearted. Combined with these qualities, local residents are also highly reliable: they are exceptionally motivated and energetic as expressed by the local saying "yaramaika (Let's give it a try) spirit."
Hamamatsu is an attractive city that has so much to offer – lush nature, good food, kind people, and much more!

Hamamatsu is an attractive city with much to offer. Surrounded by the ocean, rivers, mountains, and Lake Hamana, Hamamatsu is a well-balanced city with lush nature and a lively urban environment. Traditionally, Hamamatsu has been a hub for exchanges between people from eastern and western Japan.
There are many tourist attractions of great historical and cultural significance including famous temples, historical landmarks, and Lake Hamana which has been featured in many classical Japanese poems. A wide range of activities are also available at Hamamatsu: bathing in hot springs, cycling, marine sports, spring flower viewing, and industrial tours unique to the "City of Manufacturing." As for food, which may be the best part of traveling, visitors will no doubt be satisfied with local specialty foods including gyoza dumplings, mikan oranges (mandarin oranges), and fresh local seafood like eels, oysters, and puffer fish.

Having developed as the middle point on the Tokaido Route (Edo-Kyoto route in the Edo period) connecting eastern and western Japan, Hamamatsu can be easily accessed using Shinkansen trains or expressways, or from international airports.

Home of a number of large globally active companies including Suzuki, Yamaha, Kawai, Hamamatsu Photonics, and Roland, Hamamatsu is "the city of manufacturing."
