OFFICE DE TOURISME DE HAMASAKA
The tourist office has three electric bikes that can be rent (400 ¥ 2 hours or 800 ¥ the day). Here you will find maps of the city and a few booklets about it and its surroundings in English. At the bottom of the building are phonographs, which are an integral part of the history of the city. Since 1800, the city has produced phonographs needles. This activity was developed to occupy the long winter months during which the inhabitants, trapped by snow, could no longer carry out their main activity, agriculture. Two craftsmen from Kyushū taught the inhabitants of Hamasaka manufacturing techniques. Today, production continues with 90% exports abroad. Half a day is enough to go around the city.
