Hamamatsu is home to many musical instrument companies such as Yamaha, Roland, Suzuki, and Kawai.
Although you cannot visit these all companies directly, you can experience their culture.

You can use the Shinkansen to access Hamamatsu.
Basically, it is recommended to stay in Tokyo or Osaka, but I think spending a day in Hamamatsu is a great experience.

Hamamatsu Pal Pal / Hamanako Orgel Museum
Hamamatsu Pal Pal is a typical local amusement park in Japan.
It is basically a local amusement park of modest quality, but the roller coaster was purchased from the Expo, so it is worth a try.
The characters are designed by the artist of Anpanman, a character that has gained the enthusiastic support of Japanese children.

is a good spot for a panoramic view of Lake Hamana. It will be a good spot to enjoy as well as local (like us).
