Yamaha, Kawai, Suzuki (that one is utterly confusing), Tokai I believe :) and Nagoya is only 70 road miles NW from Hamamatsu, adding Kasuga, another Suzuki or Iida to the factories making acoustics at that time, not counting smaller workshops I never heard of because I'm not much into acoustics.

Edit: Off-topic but Hamamatsu was (and still is) also the piano and organ/synth/keyboard epicenter of Japan, one even heavily overlapping with guitars:

From the 2012 catalog:

The "Cat's Eyes Acoustic Guitar Project", which was started by Tokai in 1975, takes historical masterpieces that have been used as role models by craftsmen around the world, and captures not only the details, but also the nuances of the sounds. We have painstakingly and faithfully reproduced it. And now, Cat's Eyes, a gift to the new music scene, has been born.
