Send Flowers to Hamamatsu, Japan

Pianos, motorcycles and flowers: Hamamatsu is known for all three. Several of the world's best-known musical instrument makers were founded here, and the city promotes itself as a city of music. The mild, sunny climate of western Shizuoka also suits growers, and the area is a leading source of gerberas for the Japanese market.

Hamamatsu covers a very large area, from the Pacific coast and the lagoon of Lake Hamana to forested mountains in the north. Most people live in the central district near the station and the reconstructed castle. Factory work has attracted a notable Brazilian community, so orders from South America are not unusual.

In early May the Hamamatsu Festival fills the sky above the Nakatajima dunes with giant kites flown to celebrate newborn children, a lovely occasion for a gift to new parents. For flower delivery in Hamamatsu, order before midnight Japan time for delivery the next day, Monday to Saturday. No same-day, Sunday or national holiday deliveries are made. Outlying mountain districts need a precise address and phone number.
