THE HAMANAKO

THE HAMANAKO is a resort hotel on the shore of Lake Hamana, popular for its lakeside location and its own hot spring source. The “Yuto Onsen,” rising from 500 meters underground, is said to help with neuralgia, joint pain, and chronic digestive issues. Soaking in the spacious large bath and open-air bath can ease travel fatigue. Rooms include suites with panoramic Lake Hamana views, relaxing Japanese-style rooms, and stylish interiors created in collaboration with Hamamatsu’s popular select shop “SPARA,” offering many choices to match your preferences. Dining includes a top-floor French restaurant as well as Japanese and Chinese restaurants. For deeper relaxation, the spa & esthetics option is recommended, with private rooms for a tranquil experience. Access: about a 7-minute drive from JR “Maisaka” Station. A free shuttle bus (no reservation required) runs 5 times/day from the station’s north exit.
