Living in Hamamatsu Station

A city closer to Nagoya than to Tokyo. Manufacturing is concentrated here, so there are many foreign residents, and to that extent multilingual counters are already in place, which keeps the barrier to settling in low.

The gateway to the largest city in Shizuoka Prefecture, where the Shinkansen stops. Nagoya is in the thirty-minute range and Tokyo is an hour and a half away, so it opens more toward the west. As a city where the musical instrument and motorcycle manufacturing industries are gathered, the share of foreign residents is high among the designated cities. Multilingual guidance and consultation counters are already in place, so the barrier to settling in is low.
