Hamamatsu Holiday Packages

Holidays To Hamamatsu

Tokyo. Yokohama. Sapporo. Everyone—including you—has probably heard of these major Japanese cities.

And that’s all fine and dandy, but we’re here to tell you about Hamamatsu. This city on Japan’s southern coast, 251 kilometres from Tokyo, is perfect for your next escape from the real world. You can pretend to fly a plane, explore the underworld and eat an eel. All you have to do is browse Wotif’s Hamamatsu package deals, book a trip and go.

Things to Do in Hamamatsu

Launch your holiday in Hamamatsu with a trip to the Hamamatsu JASDF Air Park and Museum. They have a whole fleet of planes ranging from the early days of Japanese aviation to present-day jet fighters. You’re allowed to sit in the cockpits in a number of the old planes, like the F-86F Sabre and a World War II Mitsubishi A6M Zero. Take it a step further in the flight simulator and see if you can complete a dogfighting mission.

After pretending to be Maverick, get a vehicle from Wotif’s Hamamatsu car hire options and head to Ryugashido Cavern. Don’t worry about getting down and dirty during this hike there’s a manmade path that snakes through the entire cave network. Make it all the way to the end and you’ll be greeted by a spectacular waterfall.

Shopping, Dining & Nightlife

How can you enjoy a Hamamatsu holiday without shopping? You can’t, so take your wallet to Plaza Mall Sago and spend, baby, spend. Grab a couple of hand-woven silk kimonos and wooden Senjafuda straps. There’s also Sun Street Hamakita, which is jammed with all sorts of shops. And when shopping has worn you out, put your feet up at the bathhouse.

You’re bound to get hungry at some point, but don’t worry. Many of the hotels that come with our Hamamatsu packages are located near many tasty dining spots serving up interesting cuisines. The most famous dish comes from nearby Lake Hamana and resembles an eel. Actually, it is an eel. You can either get it Kanto-style or Kansai-style—both ways are scrumptious.

OK, your bags are full from shopping. Your belly is full from eating. Now it’s time for you to let loose. Yuraku-gai is a street that runs for about four blocks and is loaded with bars, tea houses, sake spots and nightclubs. Believe us when we tell you the Japanese know how to have a good time.

What’s Next?

You can’t sit in a Japanese flight simulator at an air museum in Hamamatsu without going there. With that said, browse our cheap Hamamatsu packages and get going to “The Land of the Rising Sun”.
