The creators were very accurate in making the anime. Shows their passion and respect for the campgrounds and the people working there.

[@KindaNeet]

Absolutely!

[@superchatoalien4905]

I'm so glad to see fans from overseas coming to my country and enjoy IRL locations of my favorite anime. Guys, come to Japan again when covid is end here. We are all brothers and always welcome!

Ahh too late! Must... go... camping

[@BushidoDevilDog]

“She smelled the Weeb on us from a mile away!” 🤣🤣🤣 That was hilarious! I have been living in Japan since 1998, but not into anime, so I had never heard of Yuru Camp until yesterday (2021/03/17) when I saw a few Japan camping related videos back to back which had several posters in the comments mentioning ‘Yuru Camp’...which is how I found your vid. I guess hipster me and my bro have been doing ‘Yuru’/laid back camping for a few years now😄 (videos of some of them are on my channel, including my pre-Logan Paul Aokigahara solo overnighter)...without knowing that it was a ‘thing’...LOL! 🤣

[@KindaNeet]

[@neuvilpanindra2581]

@@KindaNeet Well, a lot of loan words in Japanese come from Dutch, so I guess if you happen to have a conversation about etymology?

[@KindaNeet]

@@neuvilpanindra2581 oh really? That’s interesting, is there a large Dutch population in Japan?

[@neuvilpanindra2581]

@@KindaNeet Not necessarily. From the sources I've read, it's because Japan had quite a bit of history interacting with the Dutch, and as a result, there are about 160 ish words of Dutch origin in use now.

[@StaleMovesMcGee]

Whenever I go to Japan I will definitely have to watch these and try to go to the locations 😂

[@KindaNeet]

It's definitely worth it!

[@punkid13ceb]

Just completed the Yuru Camp Yamanashi pilgrimage! My first location was Lake Motosu and it felt so surreal for me. All I kept thinking was "holy crap, I'm actually here!" I was getting overwhelmed for some reason. Mt Fuji really is something else. No wonder Nadeshiko is so in love with it. Second location was Motosu High School but I didn't realise the school was actually closed and couldn't make it pass the front door :(. Lake Shibire was super magical. The cold froze the lake and it felt so otherworldly. My last location in Yamanashi was the Hottarakashi Onsen. Best place since they were tattoo friendly! Made a pitstop at Hamamatsu Betenjima Seaside Park to see the torri gate in the water that Rin was staring at in season 2. There were a bunch of other places I wanted to see but the snow was pretty insane in Yamanashi. Hoping to go to Izu next time I go to Japan!

[@KindaNeet]

That sounds like an amazing trip, I'm so jealous! I totally know what you mean by feeling overwhelmed to actually be there in person. The best feeling ever!

[@thechosenone729]

I like how they did choices with backgrounds here. Some places are 1:1 depictions and some are just slightly edited to make characters stand out, make them look cozy and so on, background artists did really a perfect job and those people have talent.

[@KindaNeet]

Absolutely! It's not just as simple as tracing the image, they put a lot of care into the BG's.

[@seah2403]

This is definitely Yuru Camp goals. I definitely want to visit here as my 1st Japan trip experience! Is the area only accessible by car though?

[@KindaNeet]

So the town from the show is easily accessible by public transit, the first and third campsite we went to is only accessible by car, but the main one from the show with the amazing view of mount Fuji is accessible by bus but the bus only runs once a day so you'd have to spend the night there. (Double check but that's what it was like during my trip)

[@chrissim98]

went to japan this May and took out a day of our trip to do the same thing, visited lake Motosu and lake Shibire and stayed overnight at a small ryokan in Minobu, when we told the owner of the ryokan that we were visiting yuru camp locations she got extremely excited and handed us yuru camp brochures and maps with collectibles and locations from the anime, afterwards we stopped by the Minobusa ropeway from the first episode of season 2 and the view was amazing, Yuru camp has got to be one of the greatest animes that also sneakily doubles as an outdoors recreational campagn :)

[@KindaNeet]

That’s amazing! Had such a similar experience on my Yuru Camp Expedition.

Watching season two of the anime rn and it made me come back here lol. Plan on giving camping a try this year and maybe play the yuru camp soundtrack whilst doing so. Found your channel through a Facebook post about the K-on school and was in just aw seeing the school and been subbed ever since. The show made me pick up the guitar a month after finishing it and I’ve never felt so alive in my life. Plus greetings fellow Canadian lol. Also I’m surprised that you guys managed to film all this right when the pandemic hit, or could’ve been a week after it when it hit lol
