Traveler highlights
Hamamatsu Castle, also called Hikuma Castle or the “Castle of Success,” stands in central Hamamatsu. It was a residence of the Hamamatsu domain lords in the Edo period and was built around 1570. Tokugawa Ieyasu lived here for about 17 years, linking the castle with the idea of career advancement. A museum inside the reconstructed keep presents the castle’s history and Ieyasu-related exhibits. Set on a hill, the grounds feature seasonal flowers and views over the city. The park brings together the castle, gardens and modern Hamamatsu.
