It is coming to an end ... Ep 154

Join us this week for an adventure filled episode which is also the second last of our 11 month Japanese adventure ❤️🇯🇵
We are still exploring the Hiroshima region of Japan.
We're visited by some Land Rover friends who have a great set up towing a Casita caravan with a beautiful Defender 110.
They take us to a famous restaurant in the mountains known as the Bandits Hideout.
A historic hideaway for thieving gangs in years gone by that now serves a local speciality grilled chicken.
We spend a week at Nagahama Beach campsite on Etajima Island enjoying spectacular winter weather, kayaking and making new friends.
We're also lucky enough to find an epic new rock climbing area in the mountains and have the honour of climbing with some local legends who take us up a big wall classic.
If you enjoy our videos and if you would like to support our work, we have a PATREON account.
Become a PATRON and be part of the adventure.
Thank you very much.

Good to know that you are watching your wonder son and daughter-in-law. You are blessed for having them.

How can anyone not love the Japanese outdoors and the wonderful people there 🥰

[@gearradar]

The world needs more restaurants like that! Damn, the world needs more Japan! 😊

[@sunshinecatcher8779]

Wow so jealous we will for sure visit japan when all this crazyness goes

[@badgerpa9]

Looks lovely there. While it may have low crime it is not nonexistent. So please still be conscious of your surroundings and what is going on, it is almost the lowest murder per capita but last year had multiple attacks involving adults and children, one at a bus stop last summer was really bad involved over a dozen kids. You have successfully traveled the world keeping your head up for anything, much better than I would have. Stay safe and have fun your videos are great fun to watch.

We asked a few people about the Yakuza. Apparently these days although still around they are more of a social club and their days of violence and brutality are long gone 😉

@@GrizzlyNbearOverland Is that a one-time 12 months or can you return after a period of time?
