Golden Week is the busiest week for travel in Japan. We have a string of national holidays together and most people choose this week to take a trip. Unfortunately flights are very expensive during this time so a group of us decided to take a camping road trip. Carrie, David, Anthony, Jason, Carol, Frolain, Dawn and I piled our tents and sleeping bags into the cars and were off.
First stop was Tsuwano. On the way there we stopped at a beautiful temple complete with tori gate corridors. It really was beautiful and we all have plenty of pictures to prove it.

Next we headed to Tsuwano town. Apparently it’s called “Little Kyoto” and the town and streets were so quaint I could see why. We also enjoyed spending time with the huge koi fish of the town (probably the biggest I’ve ever seen) and climbing onto a old steam engine.
