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!).

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 →

My stop was Bentenjima. Rin stays at Nagisaen Camping Ground on the reclaimed island... Continue Reading →
