Hamanako Pal Pal
浜名湖パルパル
A lakeside amusement park beside Kanzanji Onsen, where a roller coaster and Ferris wheel offer views over Lake Hamana. Good for families with young children.
Hamanako Pal Pal sits at the entrance to Kanzanji Onsen and is the largest amusement park in western Shizuoka Prefecture, with about 30 attractions. Highlights include the lakeside roller coaster “Hamanako GO,” a large Ferris wheel with lake views, rides for children, and a summer swimming pool. It is not huge but suits younger kids, and it often collaborates with anime franchises. Admission is about 1,800 yen; unlimited ride passes are sold separately, and opening hours vary by season. Access: about 45 minutes by bus from the north exit of Hamamatsu Station to “Kanzanji Onsen.” The Kanzanji Ropeway station is right next door, so you can combine the ropeway, the park, and the hot springs in one day.
Opening hours
Approx. 10:00–17:00 (seasonal changes; often closed Thu)
