Walking around Hamamatsu on holiday.
Song by Misora Hibari (enka) Yagiri no Watashi
Hamamatsu é a maior cidade da província, com mais de 800.000 pessoas. É uma cidade muito internacional para o seu tamanho, devido às grandes populações de brasileiros (quase 19.000), peruanos (quase 3,000), filipinos, indonésios, nepaleses e outros. Hamamatsu tem a maior concentração de luso-falantes per capita do Japão.
A cidade é um importante centro industrial, com sedes de várias empresas como Honda, Yamaha e Kawai Pianos, além de muitas fábricas como as da Sony e Panasonic. Hamamatsu é bem conhecida pelas peças automotivas e instrumentos musicais, entre outras coisas, que se produzem aqui.
Hamamatsu tem sido uma cidade importante desde meados dos anos 1500, quando Ieyasu Tokugawa, um dos shoguns mais importantes para a unificação do país, construiu um castelo aqui. A rua que segue a noroeste do castelo, a Hime-kaido (Rota Princesa), era então uma rota importante de comércio e um lugar popular para as pessoas da corte desfilarem ou passearem.
Apesar de ter a 15ª maior população, Hamamatsu é a segunda maior cidade do país em superfície, devido um processo de anexação ocorrido em 2005, no qual se expandiu engolindo 11 das cidades vizinhas. Como resultado, encontra-se dentro dos limites da cidade uma grande variedade de paisagens: dunas no litoral, montanhas no norte, o rio Tenryuu no leste, os lagos Hamana e Sanaru, até áreas completamente rurais. Existem nas montanhas bairros dos quais leva-se mais de 2 horas para chegar ao centro.
Hamamatsu is the largest city in Shizouka prefecture. It is located on the island of Honshu, Japan midway between Tokyo and Kyoto. Hamamatsu has a population of over a half million people. Hamamatsu has a large Brazilian population with over 10,000 foreigners from Brazil living there.
The city center is easily explored on foot, but Hamamatsu is a very sprawling place, and to visit places further out such as the Fruit Park or Kanzanji Hot Springs, you will need to take an Entetsu bus from the bus station on the north side of the JR station. There is also a separate rail line operated by Entetsu, known locally as the "Akaden" line or simply, "the red train". It runs from Shin-Hamamatsu station (新浜松駅) northward to　Nishikajima station (西鹿島), where it connects with the Tenryu-Hamanako line that runs east towards Kakegawa. To find Shin-Hamamatsu station from the regular JR station, walk westward from the JR North Exit about two minutes and you will find the station behind Entetsu department store. Additionally, there is a red tourist bus which circulates between many of the sights. The cost is 100 yen.
Must See - Act City Tower Observatory - Hamamatsu's only skyscraper, situated next to JR station, is a symbol of the city. It's design is supposed to resemble a harmonica, a reminder that Hamamatsu is sometimes known as the "City of Music". The building houses shopping and a food court, the Okura Hotel, and an observatory on the 45th floor from which you can see all of central Hamamatsu, even down to the sand dunes at the shore. If the weather is exceptionally clear, you can even glimpse Mount Fuji in the distance. The observatory is open Monday through Friday from 10:00am until 6:00pm. Admission is 500 yen.
