We searched a searched for a good camp ground. I wanted to pitch tent in the middle of nowhere but Yukino being a pregnant lady, wanted "facilities." Most camp grounds in Japan suck. They do. They are family oriented places that don't allow any sense of being in the wilderness. Yukino and I searched and searched and eventually found one that didn't seem to have anything more than a toilet. Perfect.
After a few hours of driving and paying the strange and friendly old couple running the place, we had arrived to be pleasantly surprised by the complete lack of people.
The water was a tad cold but we had everything we needed for a night of relaxation-
My little portable stereo had some problems staying ON and was not so quickly remedied by this high tech wonder I found nearby-
Here you can see our badass-for-Japan cooler from Costco. This thing beats the pants off any cooler and it shows on Japanese people's faces. We loaded it up with everything we could get from the nearest (an hour away) supermarket-
Our firewood didn't last long-
But, as you can see in the background, we did an excellent job finding wood-
I was incredibly proud of Yukino, despite her pregnant state, for searching in the pitch dark and getting tons of wood-
With just the sound of water nearby and bugs in the trees, we slept soundly on our awesome air mattress.

Okay, I'm just joking on the spam. This is my first post on your blog. It's always interesting and inspiring.
shame on you for your shameless plug. however, they are always welcome :)
That looks like a very nice place! All that camp ground before you, and not a soul in sight! Sometimes it's quite wonderful to be in places like that, where you can enjoy the peace and quiet of nature, away from the city.
P.S. That last photo of the fire is excellent!
