The highest temperature for today is 19 degrees.
So, I won't get cold with just a jacket on.
The long winter has passed.
Spring is finally here.
This must be what Grandpa meant
before this.
You've just gotten your license. So, you may not know this.
But the best time to ride a motorbike is during that short period
when the season changes.
When the season changes?
Is it around April?
That's right.
But the time is slightly different for each region.
In this region, when it's almost April,
you won't feel cold with just a jacket on.
But it's not so hot that you'll sweat.
Here, you'll sweat easily come April.
So, it's really just a short period of time.
Now,
it's that short period of time.
Today, I'm going to have a long-awaited solo camping.
LAID-BACK CAMP SEASON 3
EPISODE 9: BIKE AND CHERRY BLOSSOM TOUR JUYA HOT SPRING CAMPING GROUND
Do I go down here to reach the camping ground?
This is too steep. It's scary.
Do I still have to continue down?
Finally, I reached the camping ground.
Although it's not big,
there are many cherry blossom trees here. It feels very relaxing.
Although I heard that this place is quite secretive,
I didn't expect it to be empty.
After all, the entrance is narrow and steep.
It's not easy to come here.
But thanks to that, I have the place all to myself today.
This is...
Forget it.
Let me set up the tent quickly so that I can sit down and relax.
It's done.
Is it car campers over there?
I want to try that style of camping in the future too.
It feels like it'll be easy to pack up as well.
I left home in the afternoon. But it's just one o'clock right now.
I better go and take a walk.
Is she a middle-school student?
Even a middle-school student is doing solo camping now.
This trend is really hitting us hard.
No. A middle-school student can't ride a motorbike, right?
So, is she a high-school student?
I don't think a high-school student will camp at this kind of place for the trend.
Is she a university student?
Okay. We'll think of her as a petite university student.
Here. The prawn fried rice is done.
Thank you.
Bon appetit.
Your cooking has become so delicious because of camping.
Camping is amazing.
Well, do you want to live here temporarily?
RYUJIN BRIDGE, RYUMON BRIDGE
RYUMON BRIDGE
This bridge is so unique.
RYUJIN BRIDGE
So, I can go all the way
to the hot spring up there through this bridge.
But it looks tiring. So, I'll pass.
This is terrible.
They don't have a caretaker here.
I can't believe it.
What is that girl doing?
I don't have enough garbage bags to bag all the trash here.
And I'm riding a scooter.
I don't think I can take it back with me.
Good afternoon, what are you doing?
Hello.
Someone left their trash here?
Miss, you came here on a scooter, right?
Let us deal with the trash.
Really?
Yes. After all, we drove here.
Besides, we have some trash from our camping too.
There's no caretaker in this camping ground.
If there's trash here,
this place will be closed down soon.
When someone is new to camping,
if they aren't with someone who's more experienced,
there'll be unexpectedly a lot of things that they don't know.
For example, how to take care of the leftover coal.
But leaving trash behind is terrible.
Although it sounds like we are good at this,
we've only started camping last year. So, we are quite new to it.
I see.
But
fortunately, we know a friend who loves camping.
So, we've learnt a lot from him.
About how to clean up after camping,
he has said something remarkable.
When you leave, don't leave any trace behind
as if you are being tracked by an assassin.
An assassin...
But it's easy to understand.
Comes to think of it,
are you a university student who's studying nearby?
No. I'm a high school student.
But I do live nearby.
So, you are a high-school student.
It seems like you are very used to camping solo.
So, we thought that you were a university student just now.
I see.
"BLACK COFFEE" So bitter.
I'm sorry. It must be bitter to you.
I have sugar here.
I'm sorry about that.
I heard that if you like bitter things,
it's because your tongue has become less sensitive as you age.
It means that you are still young.
I thought you loved your black coffee, Ogawa.
Comes to think of it,
when I first started camping,
my grandpa told me
to bring back everything I brought to the campsite from home.
It'll be nice if more and more campers think like that.
Let's pull myself together
and start making some camping food.
Her lunch for today
is spinach and tomato pasta that can be cooked with just a camping cooking pot.
Hello.
Rin.
These are our souvenirs from the Mizugaki camping trip.
We use these tomatoes to make pizzas
and they were delicious.
Let's start cooking.
First, fry the bacon in the pot until crispy.
Then, add a spoonful of olive oil,
garlic paste and sliced hawk-claw chillies and turn up the heat.
Next, add a medium-sized tomato that's cut into four into the pot.
Mix the ingredients until they are fully cooked.
Girl.
Girls.
Garlic.
Then,
when the tomato is soft and mushy,
add spinach and 200cc of water.
Sprinkle some seasoned salt and cook until it's boiling.
Next, break 100g of pasta
into two and cook it in the pot.
No Italians are watching me, right?
Right before the pasta is fully cooked.
Add two medium-sized tomatoes that are cubed.
Then cook it over high heat to evaporate some of the water.
Is adding three tomatoes too much?
Lastly,
"A ONE-POT RECIPE" add half a tablespoon of olive oil
"SPINACH AND TOMATO PASTA" and season with seasoned salt.
And you are done.
That's great.
"MY FIRST OUTDOOR MEAL" Hi.
"100 SIMPLE RECIPES" I haven't used this book in a long time.
Bon appetit.
The pasta sauce made from the mushy tomato
and the half-cooked tomatoes
is simple but delicious.
The tomatoes taste great.
The cherry blossom season is almost here.
What are you doing?
I didn't realise
that only the top of that mountain was covered in cherry blossom trees.
You are right.
Is there anything over there?
I think there's a temple or shrine over there.
I'm curious now.
Should I ride a bike there and check it out tomorrow?
Nadeshiko, are you free tomorrow?
I'm not working tomorrow. So, I'm free.
Do you want to go on a cherry blossom drive this year?
Yes!
Cherry blossom tour...
I'm going on a drive today, and I'll go camping tomorrow.
I'll be enjoying the cherry blossom view this whole week.
It's packed.
Delicious...
It's time to depart.
Delicious.
I want to climb the stairs, Sakura.
I've arrived!
Your stamina has improved.
UTSUBUNA PARK, MALLET GOLF COURSE
All of the flowers are blossoming.
This is what we saw from our home. So, this is the cherry blossom.
I never thought that there would be a park here.
Since it's so well hidden,
is it a secret park?
After all, it's not easy to drive here either.
Maybe you are right.
Very good.
It's a great photo.
Let's go to the next place.
Okay.
By the way,
Aki told us that if we wanted to view some cherry blossom,
we should go to Mt. Minobu.
I think the cherry blossom tree there is quite famous.
MT. MINOBU, KUON-JI
It's huge.
FULL, ONE-WAY
I'm sorry.
The parking lot ahead is full.
There's no way for you to stop.
What should we do now, Sakura?
Okay. I'll turn right ahead there.
Aren't we here to view the hanging cherry blossom of Mt. Minobu?
Since there's nowhere to park, we have no choice.
But even if we can't go up,
there are still trees planted on the roadside nearby.
We can view them while we drive.
Okay.
Although we can't go up, this is still a feast to our eyes.
I'm going on a cherry blossom drive with my sister now.
A cherry blossom drive.
IT LOOKS BETTER FROM OVER HERE.
I accidentally fell asleep again.
Let me pack up and go to the hot spring.
After all, the hot spring is only open until two in the afternoon.
Okay.
Those two people have left.
I haven't had a laid-back solo camping in a long time.
I'll come here again for my next solo camping.
The hill is so steep that I think my scooter can't make it.
There are many steep slopes around here.
TOGE NO YU HOTSPRING RESORT, OPEN
Finally, I've arrived.
Miss.
Are you the one who called to make a reservation?
Yes.
That'll be 700 yen.
Here you go.
The hot spring is over there.
Thank you.
Enjoy your hot spring.
THE SECRET HOTSPRING AT THE TOP
It really has the hot-spring-in-the-mountain vibe.
This hot spring spot is amazing.
If I come here in the morning or in the evening, it'll be even prettier.
Although it's fenced up,
if I fall from here, I'll get hurt, right?
I'm going on a cherry blossom camping with Chiaki and the others tomorrow.
I think the weather will be good for a while.
Very good.
Comes to think of it,
I was supposed to go to that camping ground with Nadeshiko.
But she couldn't make it because she was sick.
I think after that, I went to Jinbagatayama.
So, that was almost four months ago.
I'll invite you next time.
Although I've gone camping in many other places,
I haven't been able to invite her alone.
But it seems like she doesn't mind.
It's hard to invite someone to come along when you've missed the right timing.
It's April now.
So, it's starting from today.
You are going to go for a cherry blossom ride later?
Yes. I'll ride around the basin later.
If that's the case,
I think it'll be good to go around the outside of the basin.
I took that route when I rode a road bike from Shimizu to Saitama last year.
It's a nice route.
It has many flower-viewing spots too.
A road bike?
It's a road bike.
Something like a sports bike.
A bike with this kind of handle.
You rode a bike for such a long distance?
That's just normal.
Although it takes more time,
it's faster than you expect.
When you get used to it, you can ride it really fast.
So, that's what a road bike looks like.
Until last year, I still rode my bike on Motosu Road to go camping.
But after experiencing the convenience of a motorbike,
I don't want to ride a bike anymore.
Ride me once in a while too.
A road bike?
I think Nadeshiko can ride very fast with it.
ENGINE MODEL: NADESHIKO KAGAMIHARA MAXIMUM HORSEPOWER: 43PS
MAXIMUM TORQUE: 45.3N⋅M, FUEL TYPE: MINOBU BUN
"FUEL CONSUMPTION RATE: ONE BUN PER 20M" She can go 20m with one Minobu bun.
"FUEL CONSUMPTION RATE IN RACING MODE" That's too much.
This hot spring is really not bad.
Yes.
See you again if fate allows it.
See you at another camping ground next time.
Okay.
The cherry blossom drive is going north.
Let me go on a cherry blossom ride too.
NEXT EPISODE: CHIKUWA, TRAM AND CHIAKI SOLO CAMPING
