It is a popular, serene getaway for camping, cycling, and fishing, particularly famous for the "Double Diamond Fuji" phenomenon occurring in April and August. The surrounding area offers stunning seasonal views, including cherry blossoms in spring, fireflies in summer, and autumn foliage. Next stop is a traditional Japanese Sake brewery, where visitors can savour the authentic taste.

This 2-day activity immerses you in Hamamatsu’s rich natural environment and seafood culture, offering hands-on insight into local fishing methods and producers. You will visit a whitebait processing factory with on-site tasting (or a video explanation if there is no landing), observe traditional gillnet fishing from a boat during the autumn season, or experience the unique nighttime Ebisuki fishing of Lake Hamanako in warmer months. The program also includes a fisherman’s meal made with fresh local catch, a farm experience, an eel farm activity with an eel-course meal, and a scenic sightseeing cruise on Lake Hamanako—famous for its brackish waters and thriving eel industry.
