  • First night we managed to find a free camping site way off in the mountains.

  • Yeah.

  • Mhm.

  • Mine is You're not.

  • Here we go.

  • Oh, it is gonna be hot tonight.

  • Next step camp Fire.

  • What is it?

  • Yeah, it is really dark, but surprisingly, it's on li like 6:45 p.m. It's just we're in the mountains, so the sun just doesn't reach here.

  • We have zero signal right now, so if anything does go terribly wrong, we are without help.

  • It's a stick bug.

  • What is it?

  • Does that bug never seen it?

  • What?

  • Hey spoke ing with what are you five?

  • Uh, he really looks like stick man.

  • Yeah, he really looks like it's like That's kind of the point.

  • Yeah, you know eso I guess, whether you want to or not, you're waking up at 6 a.m. Is six.

  • They also played that last night, 9 p.m. There are a lot of free campsites in Japan.

  • Just got to do some googling.

  • If you speak Japanese, it helps a lot, But it goes without saying that they're not really well taking care of you Run the highest risk of running into animals.

  • You're rolling the dice trying to access these places.

  • That was very dangerous.

  • Just did not just did not feel.

  • Also, almost every campsite we've done so far has been in Nagano or Guma.

  • Yeah, not gonna all yesterday and the night before Guma today And I think we're gonna be doing one more son is so inconsistent.

  • Yesterday's place was much nicer, but we ended up arriving too late to actually film anything.

  • I tried.

  • It was just too dark.

  • There wasn't enough light.

  • We ended up getting up really early at four o'clock in the morning.

  • Yeah, and we packed up the entire place and headed out to Toga Kushi Shrine that that's That's a story.

  • All of its own.

  • This place was reasonable.

  • The views are nice.

  • You know what?

  • E.

  • E was really excited to find out that they had both ice cream and beer.

  • Obviously that makes this campsite.

  • Looks like the best out of all of them.

  • Especially considering the first one was raining basically the entire night.

  • A lot of these places will allow you to have a Firas, long as you have a proper fire pit or something.

  • I think that's the first time we've got a fire going before it got dark.

  • That is so true.

  • Thinks one went well.

  • It's super easy, like a road worker with your towel and your when I can go ahead to be one.

  • Okay?

  • I don't know what time it is.

  • It was a warm, humid day and it got really cold at night.

  • Uh, so basically what happened is everything got wet.

  • Our bags are gear.

  • 10 Theo tent inside and out.

  • But it is so so.

  • And like as I say, this thing condensation is fucking up the GoPro.

  • Goodnight.

  • Before I forget, we got to see some of the most insanely beautiful roads.

  • I think I've ever seen in Japan's.

  • I've never seen anything.

  • There's a good chance that there could be a volcanic eruption.

  • So Oh, my, just these views.

  • I think I'm actually probably gonna have to put together an entire video on some of the most beautiful drives I've done in Japan.

  • E will say very honestly that I am looking forward.

  • It's getting cleaned up.

  • So on the road to our next campsite, it's on the border between Tokyo and Saitama area, and it's super cheap, Super, super thin.

  • One is really hard to find out most of the places, really the really expensive or you need to book in advance.

  • But seeing is how hard this one was to find.

  • I think we should cover, like, how to find campsites when we get to the next place.

  • Come, Yeah, Alright, so we just got to today's campsite again.

  • It's in an area called Sayama, which is you know what?

  • I'm just gonna There you go.

  • The entrance is right over here with parking lot.

  • And then over here you have the washrooms and bungalows.

  • Our campsite is right over there.

  • There's another campsite right back there.

  • A bit of a space here to wash your hands.

  • This entire place for our whole campsite Onley costs us 800 yen.

  • And then we got a big bucket of wood for an extra 400 yen.

  • So Japan has these chocolate covered cookies.

  • Called it a photo and they're actually perfect for s'mores.

  • You just take one on each side, the marshmallow in the middle, and you're ready to go.

  • It's the best burger ever.

  • Tiki thought they were called Smurfs.

  • Eso you thought you were eating a smurf?

  • Why did you not question me on that thought?

  • Like, you know, Canadian Weird.

  • So like e.

  • All right, So what happened?

  • Yeah, like starting to poured separate e out of the blue.

  • So I ran to the car.

  • I grabbed the tarp.

  • I set up the tarp over the tent so hopefully it's one last thing we have to worry about drying.

  • And now this tent is officially the hardest place on her.

  • Welcome to sun attempt.

  • Morning, guys.

  • E sleep last night.

  • It was okay.

  • Except for the cars in the humidity.

  • And every other place we've stayed has been in the mountains for how we find campsites.

  • Two step process number one is search number two is confirmed.

  • I will either use blog's, but more often than not, just use Google maps and all these air search like camping or campgrounds or something like that in English.

  • Then check the website or just call.

  • Or you can just search Camp Joe in Japanese.

  • If you don't know how to spell it, I'll leave it in the description so you can copy and paste.

  • One more step that I did was I was certain, out with the distance.

  • So it appears that which one is nearer.

  • You will get free campsites.

  • You will get paid campsites, expensive campsites, glamping sites.

  • There's all different kinds.

  • The biggest difference with the camp sites that are paid are the amenities.

  • You could buy firewood, and they have things that you can barbecue.

  • You could get charcoal.

  • You can grab yourself a stove, and a lot of camping places have rental equipment as well, so if you don't have a tent, you don't have a sleeping bag.

  • You don't have a caught.

  • Ah, lot of these places will rent those things out to you, obviously, at an additional charge at the peak of all this world craziness.

  • This company near Mount Fuji invited me to do glamping.

  • Oh, and it was a beautiful, beautiful space.

  • But I was like, Not, But if you're looking for a baseline, I feel fairly average cost is about around 1000 yen for the site on the 500 registration per person.

  • The closer you get to Tokyo, the closer you get to Tokyo.
