Kasama

One of my favourite things about life in Tokyo is how easy it is to escape the city and go explore the countryside, without needing to rent a carJust train hopping and getting off at random stations is sure to lead to interesting experiences. You'll certainly see things you didn't expect. The Japanese countryside is fascinating

Wow! Those planters are the coolest things ever. :D But the whole day looks like it was great!

Such a cool place, slides! godzilla plants! vending machines in the middle of nowhere :O

That roller slide looks both amazing and terrifying. I want to ride it ... but only after someone else survives! (can it even fit an adult sized person?)

I love that last photo, it just looks like something that would start scurrying after you once your back was turned.

As always, thank you for sharing these lovely photos! I will get to Japan one day, but until now, this will have to satisfy me. :)

Love the pictures! I want to go there just to ride those slides! Did you pick the destination at random or did you hear about it somewhere?

Christian had been to Kasama earlier this spring, though I forget exactly how he heard of the place. I think a flyer about the sculpture forest???? I completely forget, either way, he came back all ecstatic telling me I had to go too some time.

We have also gone on trips where we just look at the map and pick out a place that looks interesting. Usually along the coast, though. It's never disappointed so far!

Great pictures, thanks for sharing. Looks like a fun day! Did you take the Joban line to get there?
