A sprawling botanical garden filled with hundreds of thousands of seasonal flowers and plants, the Hamamatsu Flower Park is gorgeous all year round. A wonderful place to take the family for a relaxing and scenic stroll, the park is also open in the evenings during spring cherry blossom season, summer firefly season, and for Christmas celebrations in December.
A hot spring hub looking out onto the scenic Lake Hamana 
, Kanzanji Onsen is a wonderful spot to explore by foot, but to see a different side of the place, take a ride on the Kanzanji Ropeway.
