This page covers the centre of Chuo Ward, Hamamatsu. Kodama trains on the Tokaido Shinkansen stop at JR Hamamatsu Station, and prefectural rules make Chitose-cho and other blocks no-touting areas.
Coming by Shinkansen, Hamamatsu Station is the way in. JR Central's guide to Shinkansen stations shows it as a stop for Kodama trains on the Tokaido Shinkansen, with some Hikari trains also calling during the day.
The appended table to Shizuoka's nuisance prevention ordinance enforcement rules names Asahi-cho, Itaya-machi, Ebitsuka-cho, Kaji-machi, Sakana-machi, Shinmei-cho, Sunayama-cho, Ta-machi, Chitose-cho, Tenma-cho, Hirata-cho, Hatago-cho and Renjaku-cho in Chuo Ward, Hamamatsu, as designated areas where touting is banned.
There are no Hamamatsu listings yet. After registration they will be shown on this page; at present the prefecture's listings on this site are carried by the Shizuoka page.
In these blocks, the prefectural ordinance and its rules forbid touting passers-by into a venue and waiting about for that purpose. The same table also designates blocks in Aoi Ward, Shizuoka City, such as Ryogae-cho 2-chome and Gofuku-cho 2-chome.
Hamamatsu is generally fine for a night out. The main risk is bottakuri, a padded bill at the end. Stick to venues that post their prices, skip street touts steering you into ‘free’ bars, and confirm the set fee plus any nomination or bottle charges before you order.
Payment methods vary by venue. Check the listing and confirm with the venue before booking.
