[Music]
all right so we just arrived at our
campsite for the day
apparently they have all the buggies
that we can use
yeah they have buggies that we can use
so we're gonna put our stuff inside of
this
and head down to the campsite which
apparently is like a kilometer from here
so
that'll be fun
zero effort to put this in properly
bringing this back up is gonna be a
challenge
of its own oh boy don't worry i'll let
you do everything
thank you i appreciate that
i really hope that this hill that i'm
going up right now
crests to the campground
on the water
it looks like it might
oh i kind of thought we were gonna die
coming out here i'm not kidding this was
no
look at this what
tonight we are planning to meet the the
bear
there's definitely there's definitely
bears out here
[Music]
bugs right in the mouth this seems like
as good a spot as
any you know what we're gonna jump right
in and get the tent set up
the first night we managed to find a
free camping site
way off in the mountains
looks like there's some kind of building
over there
i don't know if there's actually anybody
there or if it's empty
we're gonna go up and take a peek put
the moss on the wood
no service we don't have any suns here
yeah yeah there's no cell phone service
yeah no service wonderful
all right it is starting to rain we
should head back and get the tent set up
before it rains
we are losing light really fast i'm
gonna clear this out
okay drop that in there you know i need
here we go oh it is going to be hot
tonight
next step campfire
it is really dark but surprisingly it's
only 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 yeah it's a text bug never
seen what
he's poking it with what are you five oh
he really looks like stick man yeah he
really looks like a snake
that's kind of the point
[Music]
so i guess whether you want to or not
you're
waking up at 6 a.m
they also played that last night 9pm
[Music]
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 taken 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
oh it just did not just did not feel
also almost every campsite we've done so
far has been in nagano or guma
yep nagano yesterday and the night
before goomba today and
i think we're going to be doing one more
that sound 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
about four o'clock in the morning yeah
and we packed up the entire place and
headed out to togatushi shrine
that that's that's a story all of its
own this place was reasonable
the views are nice you know what
i was really excited to find out that
they had both ice cream
and beer obviously that makes this
campsite look 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 fire as long as you have a
proper fire pit or something i think
this is the first time we've gotten a
fire going
before it got dark that is so true
this one went well like super easy like
a road worker with your towel on your
[Music]
head
okay i don't know what time it is it was
a warm humid day
and it got really cold at night
so basically what happened is everything
got wet
our bags our gear the tent
the tent inside and out oh but it is
so so cool and like
as i say this the con
the condensation is up the gopro
good night
[Music]
before i forget we got to see some of
the most
insanely beautiful roads i think i've
ever seen in japan
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
i will say very honestly that i'm
looking forward
to getting cleaned up
so we're on the road to our next
campsite it's at the border between
tokyo
and saitama area and it's super cheap
super super cheap this one was really
hard to find most of the places were
either really expensive
or unique to booking events 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
[Music]
all right 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 the 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
only cost 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 arufotto 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
[Music]
it's like the best burger ever taiki
thought they were called smurfs
so you thought you were eating a smurf
yep why did you not
question me on that i thought like you
know canadians are weird so like
all right so what happened like starting
to
pour the super rain 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 less thing we have
to worry about drying
and now this tent is officially the
hottest place on earth welcome to sun
attempt
morning guys how'd you sleep last night
it was okay
except for the cars yeah there's a
little and and the humidity
and the humidity every other place we've
stayed at has been
in the mountains as for how we find
campsites two-step process number one is
search number two is confirm
i will either use blogs but more often
than not
just use google maps and all these are
searched like camping or campgrounds or
something like that in english
and then check the website or just call
or you can just search
kempjo 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 sorting
out with the distance so it appears that
which one is nearer you know that's
you will get free campsites you will get
paid campsites
expensive campsites glamping sites
there's all different kinds the biggest
difference
with the campsites that are paid are the
amenities you can buy
firewood and they have things that you
can barbecue you can 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 cot
a 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
out to do glamping
oh and there it was a beautiful
beautiful space but i was like
not but if you're looking for a baseline
i feel a fairly
average cost is about around
a thousand yen for the site and then a
500 yen registration per person
the closer you get to tokyo oh the
closer you get to tokyo this is a this
is an amazing exception
the more expensive it was getting did we
miss anything important
no you pretty much summarize everything
also if you want to do a campfire
usually you have to bring like your own
like fire pit thing like we have here um
if you don't have that they won't let
you just set one up on the ground
[Music]
this is normally how i go shopping
i believe you yeah 20 minutes
round trip i put all the yasai
vegetables and stuff
oh big spider web
you
