hey guys I am pretty far from home today
I figured I've shown you a lot of
northern Japan recently so it's time to
head down south so I'm actually on a
camping trip for the next three days I
will be camping out at Lodge kiyokawa
which is located in the beautiful city
of Boone go oh no down the south in Oita
prefecture the coolest thing about the
campsite that I'm staying in is my room
is in a little treehouse it's so cool
tada this is where I'll be seeing this
little staircase leading up to a hatch
and you enter through a hatch how many
is that
you've got lights and an air conditioner
this is so cute I'm gonna close my
little hatch this is like my dream
getaway I find places like this so
relaxing we are pretty far out into the
unica with Japanese countryside I rode
on a local train from a test station for
about 45 minutes to get to where we are
now it was such a cool ride the train
had windows at the front as well so you
got a really nice panoramic view of the
whole area as you're riding the train
through the little countryside towns and
it was just so beautiful I felt like I
was in a GB movie it was so peaceful and
relaxing the plan for tonight is just to
chill get settled into my little tree
house here and I'm gonna go meet this
stuff at 5:30 for a dinner in the
restaurant area might be wondering why
I'm camping in the middle of winter but
it's actually still pretty warm here
it's the evening already and it's 12
degrees and tomorrow we're going up to a
high of 18 and 19 on Wednesday so
honestly it feels like a Canadian summer
and to me this is perfect camping
weather this one's perfect like it's
it's just coming out of it's shell right
now so it's it's uh yeah it's detached
from its base so this one is gonna taste
delicious give it a little wiggle
oh boy there we go so normally you would
reserve a spot for you and your friends
whoever you've come camping with but
because I'm here alone and the staff
have been nice enough to join me today
we have such a feast here I can't wait
to try everything everything is local
that's so cool honestly I think that was
the best barbecue I've ever had we are
stuffed
all right the staff here so nice I love
them so much it was really cool them eat
dinner with me and tomorrow they're
actually gonna show me on the area I'm
looking forward to that it's gonna be
really cool day tomorrow so I better
head to bed and I will see you guys in
the morning
good night good morning you guys just
coming down from my tree house I had a
really nice sleep in there it was super
comfy yeah like how cozy it is I like
the small size of it right bright and
early this morning gonna have some
breakfast and then we're gonna head out
remember how I was talking about how the
weather is still warm here it's about 21
degrees this afternoon
that's insane that's like summer we're
so lucky perfect camping weather
everybody's up yet
oh yeah hmm we she so cool the dining
area they can open up the blinds here so
but you're right because there's nothing
in the middle
so Manju she has like you know what
whatever it is it's like beef in the
middle or if it's red bean paste in the
middle or on Quintanilla so this has
nothing in it it's kind of like a long
tradition inside of all in all it's made
with rice husk so it's like it has a
little bit of sweetness to it which is
really nice because it goes really well
with everything you're gonna eat today
pumpkin and Cabos ooh Jam Cabos is kind
of like a lime but sweeter well that's
good YUM
we have a bunch of likes for you guys
kind of explore the city these are
electric bikes and so this cohered it
pills around here so it's like it's
super easily go pills if you never rode
one before this is like heaven let me
take you guys down to the river before
we leave on our adventures today it's so
pretty oh I'm so bug but not quite warm
enough to go swimming
so near the shore there is a shallow
area but apparently the deep blue part
you see over there goes up to three
meters it's pretty deep you can actually
do a proper swim down the middle of the
river how nice would that be I think
actually we're gonna take a boat out on
the river later so that's cool I'm glad
we get to do some water activities this
is the tent sauna I'm really excited for
this last night the guys were telling me
that they'd like to go in the sauna get
really hot they dip into the river even
now even in the fall and then they get
back in the sauna and they repeat that
three times and they say it really like
cleanses your body and makes it really
easy to sleep so they like doing it in
the evening don't know if I'm brave
enough to take a dip in the river
I had night time in the fall might be a
little cold but I'm looking forward to
trying the sauna later so we're
traveling by car to get to the area
we're going today but if you guys use
the electric bikes that they have
available you could get there in about
an hour and a half and it's such a
beautiful area that you want to bike
through it if we had time I would love
to bike it the weather is so nice and
the views are just amazing
the village were driving through now is
called Agatha and apparently it was
chosen as one of the hundred most
beautiful villages in Japan it just
feels like you went back in time all the
houses are really old
they're well taken care of I love old
Japanese houses riding a bike through
here would just be amazing
we've come to see the Niagara Falls of
Japan I've actually never seen the
actual dye Agra fault what a cool bridge
can you walk across that
which is so beautiful
nobody at the time was telling it like
back in the day that they used to like
jump off the waterfalls but there's a
couple deaths and that's why they kind
of stopped it down
just like walks near the near the base
there so you can I got like jump board
football okay
[Music]
so this is this is by far my favorite
spot it's kind of what made me fall in
love with this place when I saw there's
still a sigh here those are like the
flowers that bloom during rainy season
which ended months ago crazy a different
climate is from
we're taking a little hike along a
walking course thought we'd get some
exercise in the weather is so good I was
saying earlier it was too cold to swim
it's not too cold this way I could go in
the river right now so as we're walking
you can see so many bamboo trees around
like they're huge
everywhere Alex was just telling us that
there's a festival coming up in a week
it's see we just miss it it's called
chiku Duk GU fifty-thousand bamboo
stalks and they cut them on an angle so
it looks really cool and they put
candles inside them and they put them
throughout the city it looks really nice
so our hike ended here at this beautiful
Park you jacuz Park and it's famous for
maple leaves and they're actually all
changing color now we came at the
perfect time it's so gorgeous there's so
many people sitting around the lake here
having a picnic this is my bento of
choice the tofu hamburger got some rice
and some pickles
[Music]
Oh Mona Tomita mm-hmm so you guys
remember we were drinking sake with

chance to stop by the place that makes

river like a waffle they're in a
waterfall two variants is right hey go I

I could probably go for a jump in the
river now I can see why you guys do it I
thought you're crazy at first but pretty
hot now let's eat dinner I'm drinking
Mishu mixed with long tea it's my drink
of choice usually we brought out some
pumpkin salad avocado dip with crackers
some chicken wings over there look at
that tofu that looks so good they gave
me some grated ginger with it and I'm
gonna pour this soy sauce and I'm gonna
miss the food here everything I've eaten
almost right after dinner we stopped by
whole Shoji temple to check out their
annual light-up display this is probably
one of the most beautiful temples I've
ever been to it was such a neat
experience to get to explore it at
nighttime I highly recommend it if you
find yourself in boom go Ono during the
autumn season I hope you guys enjoyed
the first day of my camping trip and
