Open Hamamatsu in Mapnori

Mapnori draws every station in cross-section: ride there with Nori the black cat, collect a stamp, and find where to go next.

Exits, opening hours and prices were checked against official sources in September 2026. Train and walking times are Mapnori’s estimates, not live times: check a map app before you go.
