Spring 2025 Kanto Drive Trip (Day-3)
[Music] You don’t need to come alone. Good morning. Day three here in Japan. Still in Shiraama Mini Bosa. But two days weather is very good. So bright. So yeah, we going to take a drive. going to wash some of my clothes and then and then probably find somewhere some place for me to start doing my work finally on day three in Japan. Basically basically it’s a day too because I I arrive at night. So let’s go. This road is very steep. So careful angle my car here. I use I already use my first micro SD. So this is my backup micro SD. So one of today objective is to find then to buy a micro SD card also so I can still recording in the end of my trip. Been doing nothing for the past 3 days while in Japan yesterday. Yeah, cuz it’s raining and I drink too much coffee. So, I’m so tired now. It’s almost 10:00. We can finally do start doing work. This town doesn’t have doesn’t have nothing. It doesn’t have nothing in the town. The depopulation mostly mostly people who live in this town are old people or yeah, people from the city who want to escape city life. So we are going to Tateyama. On the way to the Tateama using the coastal road there is a uh coin line coin laundry. So I found coin laundry yes yesterday. So going there wash my clothes while while waiting I can do some reading and do some of my work. I cannot drive very fast. This is uh village area and because there’s a lot of old people here. I’m afraid you need to be extra be extra more careful. All people are not very good at driving properly. There’s the old but we bought all our groceries already yesterday and the day after before that there will be no excuse anymore not to do work. for this morning I try to do finish some reading and at least start one of the work which I have to start is it around here the coil laundry I think it’s around at the end of this road [Music] coil laundry combini also is very rare in the countryside so you see this is the only second combin I saw in pass the one convenient of my location. So this will be the second combination. Is it still fourth? This is an old road to cut the clothes. Just a bigger road. Coin laundry. There’s a coin laundry there. I know there’s another coin laundry almost 20 minute drive. But I think yesterday the coin laundry is not that far. Maybe I’m not paying too much attention. Yesterday we already reached the tyama already. I just look at the map. I found the coin laundry. Maybe maybe the coin coin laundry that I saw last time is very far. [Music] [Music] [Music] Yeah. Heat. Heat. Hello. [Music] [Music] Amida, it’s the ocean. Oh, it’s so hot. Mount Fuji from from here. But no, I cannot see anything. It’s 12. So in this countryside when the clock strike at 12 and 6, the local what is what? Local PA give a sound to inform all the people in the village. It’s 12:00. Okay. The road is wide enough. Got a toilet. I think there’s a toilet there. [Music] [Music] So this is uh very unique um not camping ground is very unique accommodation. So from what I know, so this little little hearts here is been bought by Tokyo people kind of like vacation house, small house and and this house here is for rental. Not for rental, I mean like for daily use. People want to come here and and camp. And inside this building there is a a a room is a previously this is a a school but then it’s converted into like a accommodation and each room being rented by Tokyo people for them to come here and escape. So just now I managed to talk to one of the uh occupants here and each each of the room have very unique style. So maybe we can come uh we can go and see the the room. So yeah, I think this is just a store. This is used to be a school but then they converted into a guest house. So they have this little restaurant here. So all probably of the occupants here will be staying and use this kitchen. I think this a rental bicycle. Let’s see from the outside. It’s the end of Sakura season already. So the flowers already gone. I think this one of the family who leave who rent the house is here. So just now I just talk with Tasan and one of the equipment here. So unfortunately I didn’t record it. But Japanese people tend to be shy in front of camera. So I don’t want to push to record everything. The owner very stylish. He sell keychain from driftwood. The person he sell also very stylish. I think this some of his drift food collection probably he turned this driftwood into like mmentotos. So I think that’s all. Going back to the my room to prepare for lunch and then blowhole prayer. That is my rental car. Today weather is very good, very nice. Yesterday is so rainy and so cloudy and so cold. [Music] Hug is done. Almost 1 hour gone. [Music] So, it’s 12 3 p.m. of Saturday. Feel kind of thirsty. So, going to convene at night. I’ll just go out just now, but I forgot to bring my wallet. So, yeah. It’s 8° right now. Not that cold compared to yesterday. Yesterday night is it’s almost five degree. It’s kind of steed a little bit. There the 71 in the distance. Tomini is the bread and butter of the Japan life especially for single single people. There’s another camping side. Yeah, I have to close down cuz I don’t have battery. [Music]
Video of my road trip from Narita-Tokyo to Kamakura in April 2025. I have been wanting to go for a solo drive in Japan since I first lived here, and only got chances now. Video footage taken by me, and was edit by Mokteking, another travel log youtubers. (Notes: Yes, Narita is not in Tokyo, but I drive pass through Tokyo Greater area during this trip. Unfortunately, I decided not to enter Tokyo city as the traffic is horrendous for newbie, and I want to see the countryside)
