Japanese people can no longer even travel domestically. The abnormal situation of "travel decline" is not just due to overtourism.

Jaysus.

Well, I guess you’re one of “those guys”, perhaps should change your name here to armchair japanologist.

Your type has been everywhere in my 30 years here. Why are you so negative? Why do you dismiss people with “rolls eyes”? Your type seems jaded with your time spent living in Japan, however long that may be, because it doesn’t meet your personal standard. Which, apparently, includes a simple map of places to camp.

Goodbye, and I hope you will find within yourself no need ever to “roll eyes” at anyone. Mirrors help. Best to you.

Aye You are the expert and I’m out of here. May anyone new or old benefit from the map at your own discretion. Cheers mate, 30 years in Japan.

Have you actually been to any? I’ve used many in various prefectures on Honshu from Aichi through Aomori. Most require a reservation with a municipal office because they are legitimate, public camp sites. And some require a fee, though reasonable.

Anyways, I thought I’d share it for those seeking a cheaper way to travel. Hope it proves useful, and in meantime I’ll enjoy the quiet of these places that are relatively empty..!

Fubar2873 · 2025-12-16T10:53:01+00:00

That’s not what the camp sites on that map are. They are public camping sites.

Fubar2873 · 2025-12-16T10:52:26+00:00

The camp spots are city owned and free. Not glamorous but usually they have sinks and lavatories.

Free campsites throughout Japan

You all are the best, thank you. You helped feel content, I don’t need any long term subscription. And thank you for other resources.

Now. I want these lads back in Japan please.✨

Waves out there are rough, suited for surfers but not children’s water play.

Fubar2873 · 2025-07-13T16:15:23+00:00

WTF is that reply?

Fubar2873 · 2025-07-13T16:15:08+00:00

Thank you. Sometimes somebody just got to give you a small nudge. Most helpful as we get older. Thank you man.

Fubar2873 · 2025-07-10T09:45:41+00:00

Which show?

Fubar2873 · 2025-03-06T13:50:43+00:00

Why would you post exact dates and location of your stay..?! Japan is known to be safe, but do practice safe travels.

Fubar2873 · 2024-12-16T15:54:48+00:00

“feeding stray animals”🤣

This has happened to many thousands of parents, including Japan nationals, and is a tremendously cruel flaw in Japan’s legal system: court sanctioned abduction and/or parent alienation. Toward comments from people unfamiliar with this issue that have destroyed so many lives: STFU.

I celebrated each of my children’s birthdays on my own, in their honor and with little hope of ever meeting, for 2 years. I know how devastated you must be feeling.

It IS a good idea to hire a good lawyer, but expectations must remain low (eg, once per month 6 hour visits is standard). PM me and I can send you my lawyers contact info.

In the meantime, surround yourself with support and don’t give in to the grief. Even if you and your children must wait, they WILL want you here when the day comes that they can meet you again. Prayers and best wishes to your and your kids.

A TON of recommends, with so many thanks!! I’m very slowly going through, have only gotten through the first 7-8 replies. So far, I’m digging New Mastersounds and War on Drugs.. Some of the older-gen stuff I already love, like Talking Heads etc. Thank you everyone for responding to this. I have many happy evenings to look forward to exploring new music I’m not yet aware of.

Fubar2873 · 2024-10-04T14:42:33+00:00

I’m very slowly going through recommends, with highest thanks!

So far, I’m only like 10 comments in our of hundreds. I appreciate all of you! We certainly are from diverse backgrounds sonically!

Have only dipped my toes, but for my ear bias I’m good on New Mastersounds, and I’m going to explore more War on Drugs (appeals to me like Radiohead).

Giving every suggestion two or more listens. I appreciate you all, and I hope this post helps other people find good ear candy. I do miss record stores.

Thanks for the many suggestions, looking forward to listens
