A working town, off the tourist track

Hamamatsu has long been known for the production of musical instruments and motorcycles, with Honda, Suzuki and Yamaha having factories in the area. Though not a tourist city, it has a number of interesting places to visit, with the main attraction being the castle. The original Hamamatsu Castle was destroyed in World War II, along with much of the rest of the city, and was rebuilt in 1958. The Hamamatsu Museum of Musical Instruments is a must-visit
