About Hamamatsu
Hamamatsu sits at a crossroads of geography and culture — positioned at the western edge of Shizuoka Prefecture with Lake Hamana behind it and the Pacific Ocean in front, creating a unique landscape where freshwater and saltwater ecosystems meet. The city has long been a centre of musical instrument manufacturing, home to Yamaha, Kawai, and other legendary brands that have shaped modern music. This heritage means Hamamatsu generates year-round music events at concert halls, recording studios, and performance venues that range from classical orchestras to contemporary jazz and electronic music.
