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 →
Izu Shaboten Zoo and Mt Omuro are both places that the characters from Yuru Camp visit right at the end of Season 2. I really like capybaras, so I was excited to see and pet them at the zoo 🙂 From Shimoda, Kath and I took the train back up the Izukyuko line towards Tokyo,... Continue Reading →
I mentioned at the end of the last post that I would be hiking up to the Takabocchi highlands, where there is a campsite Rin stays at in the first season in episode 5. We would camp up there too, then rest a day. The plan after that was to hike up to Jinbatagayama, a... Continue Reading →
I'm writing this introduction after the Lake Motosu/Shizuoka leg. Since these trips are probably going to span across a couple weeks, I'm going to write this as I go along. Most people that I've read on the internet have done their Yuru Camp pilgrimages with a car, which is definitively the most efficient way of... Continue Reading →
Going for a Walk It's pretty much the same story as the last post. Nothing much has happened in the past few days, and there are very few guests for lunch, and almost none for sleeping. A few days ago I was told I could have some time off so I decided to go on... Continue Reading →
I got picked up on Monday from Minobu Station by Damien, a french guy working at the ryokan. https://flic.kr/p/2iGQQSB This is where the Minobu Manju shop that's featured in Yuru Camp is, and it had a lot of customers. https://flic.kr/p/2iGQQTy There was also a few posters on the window of the souvenir shop. All the... Continue Reading →
