Surrounding area
The rooms are located in Hamamatsu City, which is in the western part of Shizuoka Prefecture. It is also called Omi or Enshu. It was formerly known as Totomi Province, and was also called Hamamatsu Prefecture until it was annexed to Shizuoka Prefecture. Hamamatsu City and Enshu have a long history, especially Hamamatsu Castle, which played an important role from the Warring States period to the Edo period. During the Edo period, the lord of Hamamatsu Castle was often promoted to senior positions in the shogunate, which is why it was also known as the "Castle of Success".
Hamamatsu is also known as a city of music, and is the birthplace of many of Japan's major musical instrument manufacturers such as YAMAHA and KAWAI, as well as Roland and BOSS. Because of this, Hamamatsu is a great place to live if you are interested in music and musical instruments. For example, one of Japan's leading museums for musical instruments is located near Hamamatsu station. There are about 1,300 instruments on display from all over the world, not only from Europe, but also from India, Oceania, and other parts of the world that you've never seen before.
