Camper experience 3: First sunrise at Mt. Fuji, meat bun making, Itako

Aiming for the first purpose, Mt. Fuji

On my first camper trip,After enjoying 2 days and 1 night from December 29th to 30thI spent the night of December 30th at home, but on December 31st the next morning

"Then, where are you going today?"

It was my home having a conversation. It's been very busy since the end of the year ^^ Moreover, since it's basically really unplanned, the destination is decided a few minutes to a few hours before the departure time.

Even though the children wanted to see Mt. Fuji on their first trip because of this techieI couldn't show it properlyTherefore, I decided to go to Mt. Fuji for the second trip.

That's why. I'm here ~.

You see, there's a beautiful Fujisa in the back! !!

Makai Ranch

Where on earth is this?

Hi, this is "Makai RanchIt is a place called. here,The first place I visited at the 2019 Porsche rally eventAfter that, it was also the place I was visiting when I participated in touring in the winter of 2020 (although I haven't posted it on my blog yet).

However, at both times, the only thing that was at this ranch was "stamping", "eating", and "talking in the parking lot (what's that (laughs))", so this is how It was a ranch in an environment where you could see Mt. Fuji beautifully, and one day I wanted to bring my children into the ranch.

Inside the ranch for the first time.

It was a ranch that was wider than I had imagined, had a wonderful view, and felt very natural.

While playing with the sheep grazing in the vast land as I like, and sometimes being chased (quite aiming and chased ...), Mt. Fuji is always in the sight of looking up.

it's the best.

After playing a lot in the spacious nature of Makai Ranch, return to the parking lot.

The parking lot of this Makai ranch, the scenery like this at the time of Porsche Rally in 2019 ↓

And when I was touring the other day, it was like this ↓

And this is this time ↓.

This difference (laughs). The place where Porsche and others were parked is a little further in the back of the photo, but I was laughed at the surrealism of a very different scene.

I saw a lot of Mt. Fuji from Makaino Farm, but the experience of Mt. Fuji is not over yet. If you come this far, I will enjoy Mt. Fuji a lot.

Asagiri Nature Park

Next, we will head to Asagiri Nature Park, which we also stopped by during touring.

Mt. Fuji is waiting for you ~.

The purpose of coming to this park is to raise a kite. Speaking of New Year's holidays in nature (although it's still the end of the year), it's kite flying! so.

Moreover, this time, I decided to give a kite made in Germany, which was cherished as "I bought it and never used it". It's not related to Porsche, but it feels like Porsche in Germany a little? Yeah, it doesn't matter at all.

And this kite, hey. There was a price tag, but the unit is "Deutsche Mark". What time is it? !! Do you fly? !!

• 

• 

As a result, it went up properly! !!

A string connecting a kite? However, it was not octopus thread but Tegus, so I thought it would deteriorate and cut, but it was quite good.

Well, even Mt. Fuji is already reserved! !! !!

The other side of Mt. Fuji is also a prairie. The children at home are like small people who can be seen in the distance.

Recently, children often spend more time playing games and watching TV because they often stay at home in Corona on weekends.

It seemed really fun to be able to move and play in nature for the first time in a while.

Even though I was the eldest daughter and the second daughter who were likely to develop chuunibyo (no, are you?), On this day, "Let's play tag!"

I was able to fulfill the children's desire to see Mt. Fuji, and I had already seen Mt. Fuji as full, so I went back to my car and took a break for a while.

After the sun went down, I liked the sight of the lights only in this camper, which made me feel very warm.

The sunset time was so early (16:43 was sunset time on this day), so it was pitch black in no time. There are almost no outdoor lights, so it's already pitch black.

Then, the next thing you can see is the starry sky.

At this time, I only had a smartphone, so I just took a picture with my smartphone, but can you still see a good number of stars?

This is when the moon comes out ↓.

Orion is clearly visible in the upper right corner of Mt. Fuji. This scene was really beautiful when I saw it with my own eyes. It was cold, but it was a scenery that I wanted to see forever.

Laid-Back Camp △ Cooking and Outdoor New Year's Eve Soba

Now.

After fulfilling the children's wishes to see Mt. Fuji, I would like them to continue to fulfill the wishes I wanted to do.

That is this! !!

butter!

... or rather, I wanted to do this.

I know? "Bake meat buns with a hot sandwich maker (at a camp)" that appeared in the anime "Yurucamp".

I wanted to do this! !! !!

I had an IH-compatible hot sandwich maker at home, so I stopped by a camper at a home improvement store and bought a hot sandwich maker that can be used over an open flame ^^ (I wash it properly in a place with water services)

Also, at the convenience store, the butter and meat buns from the tube I mentioned earlier.

Hmmm, I'm excited. Can you do it? Already, for me, the first goal of this trip was to make this.

a? This time it was a campervan trip, not a camp. I still don't understand (laughs).

But, but look! !! !!

Look, this is done! !! !!

It was delicious!

It's a hot, butter-baked meat bun in the cold. You want to eat. hehehehe. I ate it. It was already the best.

moreover. This day is December 31st.

December 31st is New Year's Eve. New Year's Eve is Toshikoshi soba.

For example, my family eats Toshikoshi soba at Kanda Matsuya. This is when I ate Toshikoshi soba at Matsuya-san (end of 2019) ↓

This time, if you want to camp, boil water outside and eat cup noodles, so let's eat Toshikoshi soba outdoors! I also tried.

This was also procured at a local convenience store, but there was a miracle here again.

That's right, how!

It was from Kanda Matsuya, a soba noodle cup noodle sold at a local convenience store near Laid-Back Camp (laughs). This is too miraculous ~. Even though I didn't even know that there was such a product, Matsuya-san was waiting for me ^^

Boil the water right away ... (I bought this pot at the home improvement store in a hurry).

I made Matsuya soba ← I just added hot water (laughs).

I really wanted to eat this outdoors, but after all it was so cold that I brought it into the car and ate it.

Hmmm, a lonely family with just 5 cup noodles? I mean, it's become more like "a lot of kake soba" (laughs), but this was also an interesting experience and 100 times more delicious ^^

After all this is this at the end ↓

This kind of feeling that "there is a warm home in the camper" is the best. Inside, I'm sipping a cup of soba noodles.

New Year's Eve with a camper

Next is the red and white song battle time (laughs).

It's almost as much as I want to do, but since it's New Year's Eve, I'm going to run while playing red and white.

Here, I tried using a camper TV for the first time this time.

I can't receive radio waves in the tunnel and the video stops, but I'm not really looking at it so I'm glad I got a feeling of New Year's Eve ^^

The destination while flowing red and white ... Going through Tokyo from the Mt. Fuji area ... The end point of the Higashi Kanto Expressway (Higashi Kanto Expressway).

This is ... a town called "Itako" where I couldn't read Chinese characters. Do you know what to read? ?? It is said to read "Itako".

That's why I arrived in this town where Ibaraki prefecture was.

One thing I was impatient with here was that I was running out of gas.

It wasn't until the light that there was no gasoline turned on yet, but if you don't replenish the gasoline before taking a break at night, you will not be able to use the "FF heater" that uses gasoline.

However, because of the year-end and New Year holidays, there are many gas stations that are not open during the strange hours of the night, and when looking for a store that is open, "What if everything is closed until morning? I can't go over. " The height of unplanned.

I managed to find an open gas station, fill it up, and then head to the roadside station with confidence. "Nap" is OK at the roadside station.

We also have a few hours break here.

2021 first sunrise

After taking a break, the morning came to Itako City for one purpose.

Yes, its purpose is the first sunrise of 2021. In the morning, I headed to the nearby sea from the roadside station more than an hour before sunrise.

Until now, with my husband and two peopleI used to go out to see the first sunriseHowever, it was too difficult to wake up three children from the dark time before sunrise, get ready to go out, and put them in the car ... so these days the children are going to see them together. did not.

But with a camper, if you just wake up the kids and get them out of the car, it's sunrise in front of you.

About 10 minutes before sunrise, I took my children out and walked along the coast.

The time until sunrise, which was only about 10 minutes, was quite cold, and it was extremely cold outside.

Furthermore, there were people who even lowered the sensible temperature of this "cold". This is the people who are surfing before the first sunrise in this deadly cold weather. I can't believe it. too amazing. Just by looking at it, the temperature inside me dropped by 5 degrees (laughs).

The horizon that is getting brighter and brighter.

If you turn around, the moon is still behind you.

And the sun.

It is the first sunrise of 2021.

I forgot what I thought, but when I saw this beautiful scene, I felt that I thought about various things.

Everything was happy and I really felt thankful for everything. 2021 is the start of a year that I can only think of as a good year ^^

Oarai Kanefuku Mentai Park

After realizing the wonderful beginning of 2021, I found Kanefuku-san's Mentai Park, thinking "where can I go" without returning home obediently.

Next, head to Mentai Park in Oarai. The Mentai Park, which has been open since New Year's Day, is also amazing.

Here, too, we had a factory tour "until the mentaiko was made".

Speaking of Mentai Park, I went to a store in Oarai this time, but this Izu store is also the place I stopped by at the Porsche rally event in 2019.

ExactlyWhere I was hit by a mentaiko souvenir trap!! !! Hmm. I also encountered a fish sausage with mentaiko that was a trap.

Involuntarily, "Porsche rally staff, the chili oil that eats with mentaiko next to this is cheaper, and it seems delicious, so why did you choose this sausage. I chose this shape to make you think that it is mentaiko. I remembered the rally event with nostalgia.

(No, maybe you can't eat chili oil in the car, but I think it was a consideration that you can eat sausages ~. Isn't it? Fufu ^^).

This concludes the second one-night, two-day campervan trip from December 31, 2020 to January 1, 2021.

All I have to do is go home in Tokyo.

When I encountered a gorgeous bus camper on my way home, I just thought, "Wow, senior! It's gorgeous! It's amazing!" ^^

The reason I came home on this day was that I was refraining from taking a bath outside (thinking about preventing corona infection), so I took a break for the bath and on January 1st, I had a new year's meal. This is because I wanted to eat New Year's food properly.

I enjoyed it in a Sanzan camper and ate and drank osechi perfectly on the night of the day.

I usually drink one bottle a day every night to open the wine (almost alcoholic), but during this campervan trip, I "did not drink" like I couldn't.

Because I don't know when to start driving, so I thought I should be able to drive at any time.

That's why ... I've been drinking non-alcoholic beer almost all the time in my camper van (I've written it on my blog as much as I can (laughs)).

I think I'm consuming one or more cases lightly ← I don't have alcohol, but I'm in the middle (laughs).

But this was pretty good!

Even if it was non-alcoholic, I was satisfied with it because it looked like beer, and I didn't want to drink it. I can't do it.

* Asahi Breweries said that this product is "a carbonated drink with 0.00% alcohol, so you can drink it before driving."It is clearly stated..

By the way, this is the end of the camper trip of 1 night and 2 days each from December 29th to 30th and December 31st to January 1st, but we who are still not enough to play continue on January 2nd. I went out again from Sunday to 4th.

Persistently continue ~ ^^
