Looking for the perfect summer escape in Hamamatsu? 🌻🌿

Hamanako Garden Park is a good option if you want to enjoy nature and water. Stroll through fields of 40,000 blooming sunflowers, admire colorful Rose of Sharon (mukuge), elegant water lilies, and the beautiful crape myrtle trees that brighten the park throughout the summer.

Need to cool off? Head to the Water Square, a summer-only area where both kids and adults can splash through fountains and shallow pools—a refreshing way to beat the heat on a sunny day.

As you explore, keep an eye out for the park's adorable hidden mascots tucked away among the flowers and greenery. You can also explore the International Garden, where a variety of landscape styles come together—from European-inspired gardens reminiscent of Germany and Italy to tranquil gardens that recreate traditional East Asian scenery, including Chinese landscapes. Be sure to visit the Chinese Garden within the International Garden, where you may even spot colorful koi swimming peacefully in the pond.
