This property is a 1LDK apartment on the 12th floor of the 14-story Esukāru Hamanako condominium, offering breathtaking, unobstructed views of Lake Hamana. The 45.71 sqm unit is designed to maximize the scenic outlook, with the living room windows and the balcony both providing a direct vista over the lake. The layout features an LDK (living-dining-kitchen) space adjacent to a Japanese-style room (washitsu), which can be integrated into a larger living area by opening the fusuma sliding doors, enhancing the sense of space and flexibility.

Located in the Mikatagahara area of Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, the area is renowned for its serene lakefront setting and citrus production. An interesting local fact is that Lake Hamana is a brackish lake, meaning it contains a mix of saltwater and freshwater, which allows for a unique ecosystem and supports a famous local delicacy: unagi (freshwater eel). The closest major tourist attraction is the expansive and beautiful Lake Hamana itself, a popular destination for boating, fishing, and enjoying scenic lakeside drives and hot springs.
