Koshino Beach and Barbecue party at Kunimidake Camping site
Enjoying fireworks and Scenery on the way back
The season now in Japan is summer and this year it is unusually hot and humid. To enjoy the season in spite of sweltering heat is to get in to cooler locales, be it higher altitudes such as mountain-tops or down to water as into a sea. Fortunately, the University of Fukui organized 2-days camping trip on August 8&9th where in I had a chance to enjoy the cooler ambience of mountain top as well as sea. The initial visit was to a beach called Koshino, within Fukui, where in our group of around 40 international students including japanese friends had fun in swimming, ball-chase, suika-wari (Hitting a watermelon blind-folded) and so on. From the sea-shore, we headed high up a mountainous range to Kunimidake camping site. On the vast lawn over there, we enjoyed playing outdoor games such as soccer and volley ball. The evening camping was all the more fun with barbecue party, fireworks and some interesting group games. The camping cottages for night rest though well ventilated with a cool natural breeze blowing inside, had just tatami mats as our beds, much to the discomfort of some.
The next day we had a light breakfast and a free walk around the site after which we packed our bags to return to much familiar atmosphere of hot and sultry dry land.
