It's the last leg from my Yuru Camp season 3 travels last year! First I'll be heading to the river campsite (Black Smith Outdoorfield Sanogawa Base) and Sanogawa onsen just up the road (1) then to a spot by the river that the girls also visit by Kai-Oshima station (2). I set off from Shimada... Continue Reading →
Go and read part one and two if you haven't yet! ABT-Ichishiro to Sumatakyo The last stop for this leg was Sumatakyo Onsen, where the girls visit a couple cafes and Yume no Tsuribashi (The Suspension Bridge of Dreams!). I set off back through the long and dark tunnel towards the train station. https://www.flickr.com/photos/186419425@N03/53865063783/in/datetaken I... Continue Reading →
Go and read part one if you haven't already!! ABT-Ichishiro Station Back at the bottom of the steep section of track where the larger locomotive coupled with the small train, this was the nearest stop to the campsite - illustrated by this handy map from the anime. The train shortly left and I snapped this... Continue Reading →
This leg of my trip covers all the spots reachable on foot from episodes 3 to 6, where Rin and Ayano go biking around all the bridges, while Nadeshiko takes the train up to the campsite by the dam. Obviously I was on foot, so I followed in Nadeshiko's footsteps here. I stayed the night... Continue Reading →
I had a great time in Osaka meeting tons of new people and being social for a week. But now my social battery is all depleted, it's time to go solo again. In Osaka, I planned to finish up season 3 of Hibike Euphonium before heading over to Uji (1 in the image below) for... Continue Reading →
So it's been a week. Since my last post, I visited a bunch of yuru camp season one locations with a friend, and went to a techno festival in the middle of the foresty mountains in Nara. For the yuru camping part, some of the locations I've previously visited on a past trip are now... Continue Reading →
I'm back! I've been chilling in Tokyo for a few days. I've been taking it nice and slow, not rushing about being a tourist, just wandering about and being laid back. Here's the itinerary for the trip at the moment: Tokyo for about a week! Past Yuru Camp locations with a friend! Kofu Lake Motosu... Continue Reading →
It's been a while, and stuff got real busy for me the past few months. But I'm finally done with university, some odds and ends with music have been wrapped up, and now I have lots of free time. So I'll finish up last years blogging very soon. Those of you Yuru Camp fans that... Continue Reading →
Hamamatsu was also by the Sea but it wasn't very beautiful. At least the areas I visited for Yuru Camp. Shimoda however, was just amazing. Brilliant blue skies with lush beaches and rolling green hills. Kath and I both thought it reminded us of home - Jersey, a small island in the English channel -... Continue Reading →
I was super excited for this. It's one thing visiting a place and looking at the scenery, but another thing entirely participating and immersing yourself in it. The next stop was the Eel restaurant Rin and Nadeshiko visit together to eat the most delicious eel ever. So I needed to try it for myself. This... Continue Reading →
