Japan's Camping Manners Camping is a leisure activity that allows people of all ages to enjoy a priceless time in nature. Japan is currently experiencing a camping boom. However, the sad reality is that some campgrounds have closed down due to lack of good manners, such as campers not picking up their trash. In this article, we'll go over Japanese camping manners to be careful of. Camping Manners Video Introduction This video, titled "20 Camping Manners for Beginners and New Campers Alike! [How to Get Started Camping: Camping Manners]" (キャンプ初心者さん、これからキャンプを始める方に伝えたいキャンプマナー20選 嫌だ！〜こんなキャンパー〜【キャンプのはじめかた：キャンプマナー編】), was uploaded by "Camp Lab" (キャンプ研究所). The video introduces useful camping etiquette, and is recommended for those who are just starting to enjoy outdoor activities, such as camping, as well as experienced campers. 20 Camping Manners to Know When Camping in Japan Photo：Camping manners Although manners vary from country to country and campground to campground many of these are useful no matter where you're camping. There's no one better to learn from than an advanced camper who's been doing it for years, someone who has experienced bad camping manners themself. Let's take a look at these 20 camping manners to keep in mind when camping in Japan! 1. Choose a Campsite After Checking In It's bad camping etiquette to have your friend or other campers that you came with hold a site for you while you check in. It's standard etiquette that you should only choose a campsite after you finish checking in to the campground. [Video] 1:16 - Choosing a Campsite 2. Set Your Tent Up Away From Other Campers Photo：A campground Setting up a tent right next to an already pitched tent is bad manners, especially when the site is large and there are many other places to set up a tent. Moreover, setting up a tent in such a place may spoil the scenery for other campers. When choosing a place to set up your tent, you need to consider the scenery of the tents that are already set up, as to not obstruct their view. [Video] 1:36 - Setting Up Your Tent 3. Avoid Cutting Through Other Campsites Care should also be taken to avoid entering other plots. While it's OK if you just cut a corner through a campsite, you should avoid doing it too frequently and avoid crossing through the middle of a campsite to avoid disturbing other campers. [Video] 1:56 - Other Campers' Plots 4. Avoid Taking Up Too Much Space It's also a violation of camping etiquette to take up too much space in a free site. This is a common sight at group campsites, where group tents are set up so far apart that other campers cannot easily fit in between them and will have to find other places to pitch their tents. On busy days, it can be difficult to find a place to pitch your tent. When setting up your tent, please be sure to take into consideration the crowded conditions, and make sure that the distance between tents is the same as other campers. [Video] 2:19 - Avoid Taking Up Too Much Space 5. Avoid Late Night Setups and Early Morning Takedowns Photo：A campground at morning Any activity that interferes with other campers' peaceful sleep late at night or early in the morning is also taboo. Driving stakes into the ground while others are sleeping can be disturbing. Even if you unintentionally arrive at the campground late at night, consider the time before loudly setting up. [Video] 2:56 - Late Night Setups/Early Morning Takedowns 6. Don't Leave Children Unattended Do not leave small children unattended. Campsites can be dangerous places, and they could get into some serious trouble. You wouldn't want to see them get seriously injured or badly burned by a campfire or other fire because you lost sight of them. [Video] 3:28 - Camping With Children 7. Be Careful When Playing With Flying Objects, Such as Balls, Frisbees, Drones, Etc. Photo：A drone Playing with flying objects is another thing to be careful of. When playing with balls, frisbees, drones, etc., you should always be careful to make sure that no one is around. Be sure to play in designated areas. You wouldn't like it if someone else's frisbee kept flying into your campsite, right? [Video] 4:16 - Flying Toys 8. Avoid Trouble With Your Kids At campsites, in order to avoid trouble, parents may need to find a place for their children to play in advance, or if the campsite does not have an open space, you might need to take measures to avoid your children from being scolded, such as not bringing play equipment that is unsuitable for that location (i.e., flying toys in small areas). [Video] 5:13 - Be Aware of Your Children 9. Avoid Causing Noise Pollution Noise is a common cause of trouble, as loud noises can be annoying. Adjust the volume when enjoying music or movies, and be considerate of the time of day. Remember that the campground is a public place. [Video] 5:40 - Noise Pollution 10. Be Careful When Consuming Alcohol Photo：Enjoying drinks while camping The video also touches on drinking manners. Don't mistake the campground for a bar/izakaya and overdo it. It's important to be aware of the time of day, and to be aware that you may disturb other campers while they're sleeping. Video] 6:35 - Manners for Consuming Alcohol 11. Keep the Cooking Area Clean It's bad camping manners to make a mess in the cooking area. Leaving food scraps and other debris in the cooking area drains is disrespectful to other campers. When washing cooking utensils, bring detergent, sponges, and plastic bags. [Video] 7:22 - Keeping the Cooking Area Clean 12. Be Careful of Sparks From Campfires Photo：A campfire When enjoying a campfire, be careful of sparks. Sparks can fly not only on your tent, but also to neighboring campers' tents and other gear. Sparks may scorch your tent or other items, so please be careful. [Video] 8:07 - Campfire Sparks 13. Open Flame Cooking Is Not Allowed at All Campgrounds Don't perform open flame cooking in an area where open flame cooking is prohibited. It's a violation of both manners and rules. It may even lead to a wildfire in some places. [Video] 9:07 - Check if Open Flame Cooking Is Allowed 14. Don't Burn Garbage in Campfires Burning garbage in a campfire is another violation of camping manners. Burning trash creates unwanted smoke and odors. [Video] 9:44 - Don't Burn Garbage in Campfires 15. Be Respectful Even When Staying in a Car Photo：Sleeping in a car Be careful not to leave the engine running overnight when staying in a car. The noise can disturb other campers. Overnight stays in a car should be done in a parking lot. [Video] 10:18 - Manners for Overnight Stays in a Car 16. Manners Regarding Pets The video touches on manners regarding pets as well. It's bad manners to release pets without a leash. Pets can bite other campers and cause major problems. [Video] 11:04 - Pet Manners 17. Be Aware of Your Surroundings When Setting off Fireworks Do not disturb others with fireworks. Sparks may fly and scorch tents and other objects. [Video] 11:56 - Fireworks Manners 18. Separate Garbage Properly Photo：Camping manners In Japan trash is separated by type. Be sure to properly separate trash, even at campsites. [Video] 12:26 - Separating Trash 19. Leave Your Campsite Cleaner Than It Was When You Got There It's also bad manners to leave your campsite messy when you're finished camping. Make sure you don't leave behind any garbage or charcoal. Try to leave your campsite cleaner than it was when you arrived. [Video] 12:48 - Clean Your Campsite 20. Everyone Has Their Own Way of Enjoying Camping Everyone enjoys camping in their own way. It's also bad manners to impose your own values on other people. [Video] 13:12 - Camping Is Different for Everyone Enjoy Camping in Japan With Proper Manners! When camping, it's important to have good manners as well as to follow the rules of the campground. It's also important to gather information about prohibited items and equipment at the campground in advance. Trouble can be caused by violations of manners regarding garbage disposal, illegal dumping, noise in common spaces, and many other factors. When camping in Japan, it's important to respect nature, have good manners, keep other campers in mind to avoid any problems.

The Diamond Route Connecting Fukushima, Tochigi and Ibaraki Prefectures This video, titled "【4K】Nature & Gastronomy : Diamond Route Japan 2019 - Fukushima, Tochigi, Ibaraki |" was released by Diamond Route Japan. Nobu Matsuhisa runs many Japanese restaurants around the world. In this video, Nobu Matsuhisa travels to Fukushima, Tochigi, and Ibaraki prefectures to review tourist attractions that are rich with local history and Japanese culture. Popular Tourist Destinations in Fukushima Prefecture Two of the best places to visit in Fukushima Prefecture are Ouchi-juku in the Minamiaizu District of Fukushima Prefecture and Aizu-Wakamatsu Castle (Tsurugajo) in Aizu-Wakamatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture. These two sites, both of which preserve the landscape of Japan's Edo period, attract more than a million history buffs each year. In Ouchi-juku, there are restaurants and cafes where you can enjoy the delicious local cuisine. Ouchijuku's specialty, "Takato Soba," is a unique dish in which "magari-negi" (a type of curved green onion) are used like chopsticks to eat handmade soba noodles. Kitakata ramen is another local specialty of Fukushima Prefecture. Kitakata ramen is a local dish that is loved all over Japan and is one of the three major ramen of Japan. Kitakata Ramen is a shoyu (soy sauce) flavored pork-based ramen that originated in Kitakata City, Fukushima Prefecture, and is characterized by its light flavor. Popular Sightseeing Spots in Tochigi Prefecture The most famous tourist attraction in Tochigi Prefecture is the World Heritage Site "Nikko Toshogu Shrine." Nikko Toshogu Shrine located in Nikko City, Tochigi Prefecture, is a shrine and temple dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu. The shrine is steeped in history and is said to have been built in 1617. It's a famous place where visitors can enjoy historical Japanese traditions and culture. Utsunomiya gyoza is the specialty of Tochigi Prefecture. Utsunomiya City in Tochigi Prefecture is one of the largest consumers of gyoza (pot stickers) in Japan, and almost all gourmets visiting Utsunomiya City come in search of "Utsunomiya Gyoza." Utsunomiya gyoza is characterized by its high vegetable and low meat and garlic content, which gives the gyoza a better texture and richer flavor. As a result, even those who don't like the rich taste of gyoza and generally find it too heavy, can enjoy eating it. Utsunomiya gyoza is generally sold at a low price throughout Utsunomiya City, and it's often eaten like fast food in the local area. Popular Tourist Attractions in Ibaraki Prefecture Hitachi Seaside Park in Hitachinaka City, Ibaraki Prefecture, is one of Japan's premier leisure facilities for raising plants. The 500 sq. acre park is home to seasonal plants, such as tulips in the spring and sunflowers in the summer, as well as attractions like a large Ferris wheel, making it a fun facility for the whole family! Ibaraki Prefecture is home to many nationally famous local dishes, the most popular of which is natto (fermented soybeans). Mito Natto, a specialty of Mito City, Ibaraki, is a historical dish loved by the locals. Foreign tourists may have some reservations about it, but we definitely recommend trying it if you're visiting Mito, Ibaraki. Summary of the Diamond Route Connecting Fukushima, Tochigi, and Ibaraki Prefectures Fukushima, Tochigi, and Ibaraki prefectures are close to Tokyo, making them great places to visit even on a day trip. They are especially popular with tourists looking to experience Japanese history and culture. Be sure to check them out if you have the chance!

Only You Can Prevent Wildfires Japan is currently experiencing an outdoor boom. As an island nation surrounded by the sea, Japan is also blessed with abundant nature. Because of this, it's possible to travel from the heart of Tokyo to a campground surrounded by nature in just a couple hours, and new styles of camping, such as solo camping, are on the rise. Camping is a lot of fun, but it's important to remember to clean up after your campfire to prevent wildfires and other accidents. In this article, we'll take a look at how to clean up a campfire. Video Introduction: Cleaning Up After a Campfire Photo：A campfire This video, titled "How to Clean Up After a Campfire at a Campground" (キャンプ場での焚き火の後片付け方), was uploaded by "Hiro, Camping" (ヒロ、焚き火). Campfires are used for a variety of purposes, including cooking and warmth. Some people simply like relaxing and getting lost in the flames of a campfire. That being said, cleaning up after a campfire is a necessary part of a safe and enjoyable camping trip in Japan. If you fail to clean up after a campfire, it can cause wildfires and other problems for many people. It's important to extinguish fires properly to protect our rich natural environment. Some Campgrounds Allow Open Flame Cooking, Others Don't Some campgrounds allow campfire cooking, while others do not. Be sure to check if the campground you're using allows open flame cooking. If open flame cooking is not allowed, you'll need your own campfire pit, fire sheet, etc. How to Clean Up Charcoal and Ashes After a Campfire Source :YouTube screenshot First, any coals and wood should be burnt down as much as possible. The extinguished coals and ashes can then be placed on a 60-micron aluminum foil. After that, clean up the surrounding area, picking up anything that has dropped under the fire pit. Restore the area to its original state as best as possible. [Video] 0:08 - Picking Up Ashes Water can then be poured over the collected charcoal and ashes. From there, you can wrap the remains in the aluminum foil compactly, removing as much air as possible. Then, wrap that in another sheet of foil and finally, place it in a plastic bag. If ashes from your campfire are scattered nearby, be sure to pick them up as well. Leaving ashes behind is a known cause of environmental pollution. The ashes, as well as the remaining charcoal will not decompose and be replaced by soil, so please do not bury them in the ground. After gathering the remaining ashes, pour water over them. Check the temperature of the ground around you just to be sure as well. Reducing the risk of fire as much as possible will not only protect you, but also other campers and the environment. Dispose of garbage from any meals you made while camping, as well as ashes and charcoal from campfires, in areas designated by the campground. Camp Fire Cleanup Summary Photo：Campfire remains When building a campfire at camp, clean up after the fire properly. Don't leave any ashes or coals behind with the mistaken belief that they will decompose. Failure to ensure that you clean up after a campfire could lead to a wildfire or other major problems. Keep in mind that even the slightest amount of carelessness can lead to a major accident. Everyone has their own way of enjoying camping and other outdoor activities, but remember that you're in a public place and should observe rules and manners. If you go to a campground that prohibits open flame cooking, don't forget to prepare a fire pit and other outdoor equipment. Please make sure to keep the cleanup of bonfires in mind with the video introduced here, and by all means, enjoy the rich nature of Japan while camping!

Sleeping Comfortably When Camping Japan is in the midst of a camping boom, but one of the most common mistakes made by beginner campers is that they lose sleep because they can't control the temperature of their sleeping environment and end up being colder than they thought they would be. In this video an advanced camper explains the key points for getting a good night's sleep when camping. Video Introduction: Choosing a Sleeping Bag and Mat for a Good Night's Sleep When Camping Photo：A man buying a sleeping bag This video, titled "Getting Started Camping - Recommended Sleeping Bags and Mats for Beginners｜Girl's Camping, Solo Camping, and Family Camping" (キャンプの始め方 初心者さんにおすすめの寝袋・マットは？ 寝袋・マットの選び方編 編 女子キャンプ、ソロキャンプ、ファミリーキャンプの始め方　キャンプ初心者さん向け), was uploaded by "Camp Lab" (キャンプ研究所). Have you ever gone camping and had trouble sleeping because it was colder than you thought it would be? In this article, we'll cover how to choose a sleeping bag and mat, as well as items that will help you get a good night's sleep when camping. Japan has four distinct seasons with each season requiring different temperature adjustments when camping. If you're planning on going camping in the future or are having trouble sleeping when camping, be sure to keep reading! Regular Sleeping Bags vs. Mummy Sleeping Bags Photo：A sleeping bag There are two main types of sleeping bags, rectangular sleeping bags and mummy sleeping bags. Let's take a look at how these sleeping bags differ. Rectangular sleeping bags are characterized by their spacious interior. Another key point is that they can be connected to sleeping bags of the same maker and model. This type of sleeping bag is recommended for families sleeping with small children. For those seeking a more spacious feel, rectangular sleeping bags are great, but measures should be taken to preventthe sleeping bag from getting cold due to their spaciousness. [Video] 0:44 - Rectangular Sleeping Bags Compared to rectangular sleeping bags, mummy sleeping bags are snugger to the body. Although they may feel narrower than rectangular sleeping bags, the advantage is that they are warmer as there's less space between the body and the bag. [Video] 1:16 - Mummy Sleeping Bags Sleeping Bag Material – Down or Synthetic? Photo：Down Sleeping bags differ in comfort and characteristics depending on the material they are made of. The two main materials used in sleeping bags are down and synthetic fibers (such as polyester). Let's take a look at the pros and cons of each. ・Down Sleeping Bags The pros of down sleeping bags is that they are lightweight and can be stored compactly. One of the main cons of down sleeping bags however, is that they are often expensive. [Video] 1:45 - Pros and cons of sleeping bags - Materials ・Synthetic sleeping bags are generally more affordable than sleeping bags made of down. On the other hand, they are bulky and not easily stored. Each sleeping bag has a comfort temperature labeled on it. Many people incorrectly interpret this comfort temperature though, so please be careful. For example, if a sleeping bag states "comfort temperature 10°C," it means that you can sleep comfortably if you wear clothes that can withstand a temperature of 10°C. Be careful not to catch a cold by mistakenly getting into a sleeping bag with light clothing. When selecting a sleeping bag, it's important to check the comfort temperature, as it varies according to the amount of cotton used. [Video] 2:19 - Sleeping Bag Comfort Temperatures Using a Mat for Sleeping When Camping If you sleep only in a sleeping bag without a mat, you may absorb the geothermal energy from the ground and become hotter or colder, which can cause you to wake up in the middle of the night. Therefore, it's important to prepare a mat for your sleeping area to avoid being affected by the geothermal energy. [Video] 3:18 - Camping Mats Staying Warm When Camping: Air Mattresses, Inflatable Mats, and Closed-Cell Camping Mats Photo：A man blowing up a camping mat There are three main types of mats for avoiding the effects of geothermal energy. Let's take a look at the characteristics of each. ・Air Mattresses Air mattresses are cushioned and comfortable to sleep on because of the air inside. However, it should be noted that over time, the air in the mat is affected by geothermal energy which is then transferred to the body. When using an air mattress, use a hot carpet or cool mattress to manage the temperature over time. [Video] 4:06 - Air Mattresses Keep in mind that air mattresses can also be punctured. They may even puncture when being inflating or worse, when sleeping. Take this into consideration when deciding whether or not to purchase an air mattress. [Video] 5:15 - Points to keep in mind about air mattresses The biggest advantage of inflatable mats is that they are made of urethane and are very comfortable to sleep on. However, like air mats, there is a possibility that they are punctured, and they are also susceptible to geothermal energy. The time and effort required to inflate and deflate the may can also be considered a disadvantage. [Video] 5:41 - Inflatable Mats ・Closed Cell Camping Pads Closed cell camping pads are easier to set up than air mattresses or inflatable mats. If you're looking to save time when setting up and taking down your tent, consider looking into closed cell pads. There are also types with excellent insulation properties and types that can be used on snow. However, they are generally not as comfortable as air mattresses and other types of mats, so be sure to consider this when purchasing a camping mat. [Video] 6:32 - Closed Cell Camping Pads Useful Camping Gear to Help You Sleep Better - Cots, Sleeping Bag Liners, Hot Water Bottles, Fans, and More! Photo：A cot The video introduces several items that can help you get a good night's sleep when camping. Combine them with sleeping bags and mats to achieve a comfortable sleeping environment. ・Cots Cots are essentially foldable beds. Cots are separated from the ground so they are less susceptible to the effects of geothermal energy. [Video] 7:47 - Characteristics of a Cot ・Sleeping Bag Liner Sleeping bag liners are like sleeping bags made of a single piece of thin fabric. By putting it in a sleeping bag, you can increase your resistance to the cold. If you already have a sleeping bag, it's a good idea to buy an extra sleeping bag liner as a countermeasure against the cold. It is also a great way to save money compared to purchasing a new sleeping bag. [Video] 8:07 - Characteristics of Sleeping Bag Liners ・Hot Water Bottles Hot water bottles are great for warming the lower body. For those who are shorter, the inside of a sleeping bag tends to be colder due to larger air pockets. This is great for people who often get cold feet when sleeping. [Video] 8:37 - Hot Water Bottles for Camping ・Disposable Hand Warmers Disposable hand warmers can be put inside a sleeping bag in cold areas to protect against the cold. This item can be used in place of a hot water bottle. [Video] 9:16 - Disposable Hand Warmers Besides these items, hot carpets and electric blankets can make sleeping even more comfortable during the colder months. Furthermore, wood and oil stoves are also effective at protecting against the cold. We also recommend each camper have their own fan, as it's an essential item to bring camping in the summer to protect against the heat when the hot weather is making it difficult to sleep. Choose a Sleeping Bag and Mat That's Right for You and Enjoy a Good Night's Sleep When Camping! Getting a good night's sleep is crucial to having an enjoyable camping trip. If you don't get enough sleep, you'll have less energy for camping activities the next day and you might be tired when driving home. Prepare sleeping bags and mats according to the season to ensure a comfortable night's sleep!

A Wasabi Farmer Speaks About Wasabi This video is「WASABI – IS JAPAN COOL? WASHOKU – 和食（山葵）」created by「ANA Global Channel」. It shows a wasabi farmer from Izu Peninsula (伊豆半島, Izuhanto) in Shizukoka prefecture (静岡県, Shizuoka-ken) speaking about the attraction and production process of wasabi. Wasabi is an edible native Japanese plant of the Brassicaceae Wasabia family and is said to have grown naturally since the Asuka Period (AD ~538-710). In this 9-minute video, Inaba Nobuaki, owner of “Wasabi-en Kadoya,” located in Kawazu town (河津, Kawazu) of Kamo District (賀茂郡, Kamogun), Shizuoka Prefecture, explains the attraction, production process and ways to enjoy wasabi. What Is Wasabi? How Is It Cultivated? Photo：Wasabi Field There are two ways to cultivate wasabi; “Water Wasabi” (Valley Wasabi, Swamp Wasabi) cultivated in mountain streams and spring water, and “Field Wasabi” (Land Wasabi) which is cultivated in fields. The cultivation method introduced in this video is “Water Wasabi” and takes 1-2 years to cultivate. The wasabi is cultivated in flooded paddy fields, which turn to mud after one or two years. The farmers wash away the mud, level the field, and plant and harvest wasabi all year round. Water management is crucial and is a fight against the merciless forces of nature, for often typhoons and other floods strike the region. This is explained by Inaba Nobuaki of “Wasabi-en Kadoya” from 0:26 in the video. Wasabi is cultivated all year round, but the flavor and size vary by season. The best season is from autumn to winter. Wasabi was introduced in the Amagi Region (天城, Amagi), where “Wasabi-en Kadoya” is located, sometime during the mid-Edo Period. Izu Peninsula is suited for wasabi cultivation, due to its heavy rainfall and soft spring water. The reason why wasabi hasn’t spread worldwide is because this type of natural environment doesn’t exist elsewhere, as is explained by Inaba Nobuaki from 2:36. Shizuoka Prefecture is famous for its wasabi cultivation, and is the number one area for cultivation and production in Japan. The Best Ways to Enjoy Wasabi Photo：Wasabi Bowl Now that you know how wasabi is grown, you probably want to know how to best enjoy it! Most people try to enjoy delicious wasabi with expensive foods such as sashimi and sushi. But a simple and low cost way to enjoy wasabi is the “Wasabi Bowl” that “Wasabi-en Kadoya” serves. It is an extremely simple dish; dried bonito sprinkled over some fresh hot rice, with a dash of freshly grated wasabi on top. This can be seen from 4:01 in the video. The soy sauce will deprive the wasabi of its flavor, so it’s important not to pour the soy sauce directly onto the wasabi. Wasabi’s spiciness is created when the cell walls are broken, so the taste varies greatly depending on how finely you grate the wasabi. A delicious wasabi has five traits: great fragrance, spiciness, sweetness, adhesiveness, and a deep green color, as explained at 5:27 in the video. To make use of wasabi’s disinfectant qualities, you can eat vegetables with wasabi or have some wasabi ice cream for dessert. Also, the top and bottom of the wasabi stem have different tastes! The top has a mild flavor that is pleasant. The video explains at 7:50 that the best way to store leftover wasabi is not to put it in a cup of water, but to wrap it in newspaper, put it in a plastic bag, then store it in the refrigerator. If you ever visit Shizuoka, how about some wasabi products as a souvenir? “Wasabi Pickles,” “Wasabeef Chips,” “Wasabi Beads” (which are shaped like salmon roe), “Wasabi Greens,” “Tubed Wasabi,” “Hon-Wasabi,” “Wasabi powder,” and “Wasabi paste” are some of the most popular products. These are sold in Amagi Wasabi Village (天城わさびの里, Amagiwasabinosato), located inside the roadside station “Amagigoe” (天城越え,Amagigoe), Izu Town (伊豆市, Izushi) which is near “Wasabi-en Kadoya,” and also by online retailers such as Amazon or Rakuten. Summary of Wasabi In recent years, wasabi has come to be appreciated for its health benefits, such as weight loss assistance. Hopefully this video has helped you learn about wasabi, the integral seasoning for every Japanese household! This video also introduces the best ways to eat wasabi, so if you are interested in Japanese food or just food in general, be sure to check it out! 【yelp】Wasbi-en Kadoya https://www.yelp.com/biz/%E3%82%8F%E3%81%95%E3%81%B3%E5%9C%92-%E3%81%8B%E3%81%A9%E3%82%84-%E8%B3%80%E8%8C%82%E9%83%A1?page_src=related_bizes

Coolers, a Necessity for Summer Camping in Japan Summer in Japan is characterized by strong sunlight, high temperatures, and excessive humidity. Compared to spring and fall, which are quite pleasant, it's important to be careful of heat stroke and food poisoning during summer. Therefore, we'd like to introduce a video on coolers, a necessity for enjoying outdoor activities and camping during summer in Japan. Video Comparing Coolers This video, titled "My Recommended Coolers [Comparing 4 Types] (For Camping BBQ Outdoor Use) Coleman, Logos, Daiwa, and AO, Four Popular Brands" (おすすめクーラーボックス【４種比較】(キャンプ BBQ アウトドア用)コールマン・ロゴス・ダイワ・AOクーラー人気ブランドを一挙に紹介します！), was uploaded by "solo camp & camp cooking in Japan TANA channe." What Should You Look for When Buying a Cooler? Material? Cooling Ability? Style? Photo：A cooling bag Outdoor activities, such as BBQ and camping, are very popular in Japan as of late. Many people are in the process of planning outdoor leisure activities for the hot summer ahead. You might be one of them and are even considering buying a cooler. What are the most important things to consider when purchasing a cooler? Size, cooling ability, whether it's hard or soft, design... these are all important factors to think about. You should first decide on what it is that you want your cooler to accomplish. In this article, Tana, a solo camper in Japan, compares the usages, features, and storage capacity of four different coolers for campers having trouble choosing the right cooler. In addition, the cooling ability of three coolers of different sizes, designs, and materials are evaluated based on hourly temperatures and ice retention. This article is especially for those looking for a cooler for camping, festivals, picnics, etc., but aren't sure which one is best. We think this will help you choose the one that's right for you! AO Coolers 12L Canvas Soft Cooler Source :YouTube screenshot The first cooler on the list is the AO Coolers 12L Canvas Soft Cooler. As its name suggests it's a soft cooler. At first glance, the bag is so well designed that it doesn't look like a cooler. The outdoor pattern is quite stylish. The bag, which looks like a bucket, can be made into a square shape by buckling the clips on the sides. In this shape, it is almost as large as the DAIWA Cool Line 800 8L Cooler introduced next. The capacity is 11.35 L, and it can hold 12 350 ml cans plus 2.2 kg of ice. The video shows how different sized bottles fit in the cooler. [Video] 0:26 - Features of the AO Cooler DAIWA Cool Line 800 8L Cooler Source :YouTube screenshot The DAIWA Cool Line 800 8L Cooler comes from a fishing equipment manufacturer. Check it out if you're looking for a compact cooler for solo camping, fishing, or other outdoor leisure activities. It comes with a carrying strap and can be carried over the shoulder. The compartment is large enough to just barely hold a 1.5-liter bottle. It's a great cooler if you're only planning on bringing a few items. [Video] 6:10 - Daiwa Cooler Features LOGOS Hyper Subzero Cooler M 12L Source :YouTube screenshot The LOGOS Hyper Subzero Cooler M 12L is another soft cooler. This cooler has a cool silver design and can hold a 2L plastic bottle horizontally. The long sides are made of a hard material, so it can't be broken down into a smaller size, but it is designed to be thinner. It can be used for a variety of activities, including camping and festivals, making it quite attractive. Because of its stylish appearance, this product is also recommended for those who are particular about the appearance of their camping equipment. [Video] 8:04 - Features of the LOGOS Cooler Coleman Extreme Ice Cooler 25L Source :YouTube screenshot The Coleman Extreme Ice Cooler 25L is the largest cooler shown in the video, but it's a soft cooler and can be folded. It's a bit large for a solo camping cooler. Tana, the solo camper in the video, utilizes it to hold other items as well. The metal fittings on the side are plastic, so you need to be a little careful when carrying heavy items inside it. [Video] 9:06 - Features of the Coleman Cooler Comparing Cooling Ability - AO, Daiwa, and Coleman The cooling ability of coolers is important when camping in the summer. But do size and shape determine a cooler's cooling ability? Check out the video for a comparison of the cooling ability of different coolers from AO, Daiwa, and Coleman. The indoor temperature is 26.6 degrees Celsius, and one bag of ice is put in each cooler to test the temperature and ice retention over time. ・After approx. 1 hour Coleman: 14.5°C, 20% of ice melted AO: 9.4°C, 10% of ice melted Daiwa: 13.6°C, 15% of ice melted At this point, we can say that the ice retention is AO > Daiwa > Coleman. ・After approx. 4 hrs. Coleman: 13.5°C, 40% of ice melted AO: 14.9°C, 20% of ice melted Daiwa: 15.7°C, 30% of ice melted At this point, the ice retention is still the same - AO > Daiwa > Coleman. ・After approx. 6 hours Coleman: 13.5°C, 80% of ice melted AO: 14.1°C, 70% of ice melted Daiwa: 15.4°C, 70% of ice melted At this point, AO and Daiwa are about equal. ・After approx. 8 hours Coleman: 19.3°C, 90% of ice melted AO: 14.2°C, 80% of ice melted Daiwa: 13.9°C, 80% of ice melted After more than 8 hours, the Daiwa cooler maintained the coolest temperatures. [Video] 10:16 - Comparing three different coolers [Video] 17:11 - Results after 4 hours [Video] 22:09 - Results after 8 hours The Coleman is the largest of these coolers, so it's not possible to make a blanket judgment, but as an example, this test may be useful for those considering replacing or buying a new cooler in the future. Tips for Keeping Your Cooler Cool Photo：A cooler Here are some tips for keeping your cooler cool that aren't related to the characteristics of the cooler. ・Make sure that the items to be placed in the cooler are cooled in advance. If possible, cool the inside of the cooler box as well. ・Place refrigerants on the top and bottom of the cooler. ・Use a combination of large and small ice cubes. ・Don't drain the water after the ice has melted. ・Minimize opening and closing of the cooler. ・Avoid hot ground and place in a cool place out of direct sunlight, such as in the shade. Find the Cooler That Works Best for You and Enjoy Your Time Camping! Coolers are useful outdoor equipment for storing food for camping and BBQs and drinks for picnics. In summer, use coolers to prevent heat stroke and food poisoning, but be careful when handling drinks and food. There are many beautiful campgrounds in Japan. To enjoy the summer outdoors to the fullest, choose a cooler that suits your individual style and that will keep your food and other items cold.

Coleman Tents - Popular Even in Japan Due in part to the corona pandemic, camping is booming in Japan, particularly family camping. For those looking to buy a family tent, check out this list made by an advanced camper that introduces the Coleman tents he recommends. Let's get into it! Introducing Coleman's 5 Best Family Tents via Video This video, titled "Announcing the 5 Best Coleman Family Tents and Why" (発表します。これがコールマン オススメ ファミリーテント ベスト５の理由です。), was uploaded by "Yoshi channel." As the name suggests, it introduces the top five family tents from Coleman, as recommended by a Japanese outdoor specialist. These top 5 tents were determined by comparing functionality, ease-of-use, and cost-effectiveness. If you're thinking of purchasing a Coleman family tent, be sure to use this as a guide. No. 5 "Coleman Weather Master Cocoon III" - Outstanding Functionality Source :YouTube screenshot This is a heavy tent with many poles and thick fabric. This is a top-of-the-line Coleman tent. It takes two people about 40 minutes to set up, which is rather long, but it's a family tent with excellent functionality and can be used in all four seasons. The living room is larger than that of most Coleman family tents, so there's room for a cooler and shelves as well. In addition, two inner tents can be set up inside if you decide to purchase them (these are sold separately). The sleeping area is also spacious, with room for four sleeping bags, making it perfect for families! The many windows provide good ventilation as well. [Video] 0:20 - Coleman Weather Master Cocoon III No. 4 "Coleman Tunnel 2-Room House/LDX," - A Unique Tunnel Shape Source :YouTube screenshot The main feature of this tent is its four poles, which give it a tunnel-like shape when set up. The eaves allow for a spacious living room and prevent rain from entering the tent. It takes two people approximately 20 to 30 minutes to set up. Setting this tent up is not that difficult, as all you have to do is stand it up after threading the poles through. The secret-base-like shape is quite unique. We recommend this tent to those looking for a family tent that is easy to set up. The video shows two sleeping bags setup inside the tent, but he mentions that you could probably fit a third sleeping bag in. There is a large window in the back and smaller windows on both sides. [Video] 2:48 - Coleman Tunnel 2-Room House/LDX No. 3 "Coleman Tough Wide Dome IV/300" - Cost-Effective and Easy to Set Up Source :YouTube screenshot Among these tents, this one is quite reasonably priced. This tent is recommended for beginners because it has few poles and is easy to set up. Although it seems smaller than the other tents introduced here, the presenter introduces it as No. 3 in terms of price, setup difficulty, and ease-of-use. The inner sleeping area is designed to be spacious. However, it does not have a living room, so it would be best to attach a hexa tarp to it. If you're looking for a 4-person tent that is cozy and easy to set up, consider checking it out. [Video] 4:39 - Coleman Tough Wide Dome IV/300 No. 2 "Coleman Tough Screen 2 Room House" - Cost-Effective + Spacious Source :YouTube screenshot A popular Coleman classic. Spacious, yet reasonably priced! If you're looking to get the most bang for your buck, you should check out this family tent, perfect for 4 or 5 people to enjoy camping. It's also reasonably simple to set up and can be pitched by a single person. The living room is wide horizontally, with plenty of room for a table and chairs. Both sides can be opened and can all be converted to mesh, so you can enjoy camping comfortably in both summer and winter. A skirt can also be attached to prevent wind from entering from below. The bedroom has enough space for a family of four to relax together. [Video] 6:57 - Coleman Tough Screen 2 Room House/LDX No. 1 "Coleman Tough Screen 2 Room House/LDX" - Cost Effective, Spacious, & Functional Source :YouTube screenshot The greatest feature of this tent is that it has a dark room, making the inner portion completely dark. By adding a roof, this tent is water-resistant and also highly sheltered from light. It's also slightly heavier due to the thickness of the fabric, but Yoshi mentions that the storage bags have been made slightly larger starting from the 2020 models, making it easier to put away. The living room is quite spacious. The bedroom is large enough to fit four sleeping bags. It has seven windows, so ventilation and light can be controlled using these windows. You can even hang a lantern inside the tent. The tent costs just under 100,000 yen with all these features, which is a key point in evaluating it at No. 1. The high light-shielding properties are great for those with small children who still need to take naps as well. [Video] 9:05 - Coleman Tough Screen 2 Room House/LDX Choosing a Tent That Fits Your Camping Style When purchasing family tents and other outdoor goods, in addition to brand and price, durability, water resistance, and wind resistance are also important things to look out for. Even if you find a tent that's reasonably priced tents are expensive compared to the rest of your camping equipment. When you find outdoor goods that you're interested in, one option is to first try renting a tent to see how it feels, and if you like it, consider purchasing it from there. Don't forget to visit outdoor stores and ask the staff to clear up any questions you may have before making a purchase. Coleman releases more and more attractive family tents every year, so be sure to check out information on new products besides the ones listed here.

Now, let's take a look at the recommended camping gear. Source :YouTube screenshot ・Forged Stakes Stakes are essential for securing tents, tarps, and poles. Some tents come with stakes, but in graveled riverbeds, they often bend, as shown in the video. To prevent this from happening, sturdy, forged stakes are a must. [Video] 0:46 - Forged Stakes ・Stake Hammer With Puller An easy-to-use stake hammer is all you need to secure your tent or tarp. The steel hammer shown in the video is also very useful for removing stakes. This hammer can be used to easily pull out stakes stuck in hard ground or long pegs.

グルメがうなる本物の和食「蕎麦」の美味しさ～「石臼そば」の魅力 こちらの動画は「ANA Global Channel」が公開した「SOBA - IS JAPAN COOL? WASHOKU - 和食 （蕎麦）」です。 こちらの動画では、神奈川県逗子市に店舗を構える、店主がバングラデシュ出身という異色のお店、蕎麦好きの和食グルメに大人気の手打ち蕎麦屋「石臼そば」を紹介します。 古くから伝わる伝統の製法で作られる「石臼そば」 低カロリーで栄養のある和食として知られる日本蕎麦には「ざる蕎麦」「かけ蕎麦」「つけ蕎麦」「きつね蕎麦」「たぬき蕎麦」「天ぷら蕎麦」「月見蕎麦」「とろろ（山かけ）蕎麦」「おろし蕎麦」「南蛮蕎麦」など数多くの商品がありそのレシピも多様です。 しかし、どの蕎麦も麺の製法で味が決まることに変わりはありません。 古来の日本料理である蕎麦の作り方にこだわる「石臼そば」では、動画で紹介されているように、昔ながらの古い石臼で蕎麦の実を挽くことから蕎麦の仕込みがスタートします。 約3時間石臼を回し、ふるいを通し、きめ細かいそば粉に。 そしてそば粉を水で練り上げ、麺棒で伸ばして蕎麦打ち。 さらに丁寧に断裁し蕎麦切塩釜なども使用し、ようやく蕎麦麺が完成するという根気のいる手順で作られます。 究極の和食として「手打ち」を売りにする蕎麦屋は数多いもの。 「石臼そば」は既成品のそば粉を使用せず、独自のルートで仕入れた原料を昔ながらの製法で作り上げます。 食通の期待に応える緻密な調理法 店主のチョードリーさんは動画の中で 「和食としての蕎麦は、作る職人次第で味が変わるので、作るときはそばに気持ちを集中しないと、グルメの方々が喜ぶ美味しい蕎麦にはなりません。 蕎麦は、その日の気温や湿度の変化によって、毎日水の量お微妙に変える必要がある、非常にデリケートな食材なのです。」 と語ります。 日本全国の和食通やグルメの期待に応えるため、食材の産地にもこだわりがあり、蕎麦の実を北海道から九州まで日本全国から取り寄せています。 蕎麦の糖度は各地で異なり、蕎麦は平地よりも傾いた土地の方が高品質のものが収穫できるので、店では棚田で収穫された蕎麦が使用されています。 蕎麦つゆや蕎麦湯にも独特のこだわりとアレンジが もちろん蕎麦に限らず和食に欠かせないのが蕎麦つゆで、和食好きのグルメにもこだわりがあります。 動画で紹介されているように、「石臼そば」では蕎麦つゆにも深いこだわりを持っており、なんと蕎麦つゆには「かつお節」だけでなく「さば節」と「宗田節」の三種類を使用しているとのこと。 また、昆布は前日に漬け込んでおくという念の入りようで、材料の分量や調理にかける時間で味も変わるため、その微妙な調整に最も神経を遣うと言います。 また、蕎麦湯にもお店独自のアレンジが施されており、一味違う美味しさを味わえます。 「石臼そば」紹介まとめ 京都や静岡など蕎麦処として有名な地域は日本全国にありますが、動画で紹介されている蕎麦店は「日本の古くからの伝統を継承した蕎麦が堪能できる店」として、今では逗子市の名店となりました。 「美味しい和食文化を味わえる店」との評価が高く、多くの観光客が訪れる人気スポットとなっています。
