Life in Tokyo #61: A Day in The Country
Uploaded by: tokyocooney
Video Description:
I take a trip to the mountians outside Tokyo for a one day escape from urban life. It was nice to get out of the city, however brief. I got back in touch with the non-metrosexual manside by grilling meat over hot coals and having a warm schvitz. I wish I could do this every weekend, but sadly life in Tokyo is mostly working for the man.
For those curious about costs and such:
Log Cabin: 5,000 yen (Per person, cabin sizes range from one person to groups of 6)
Bar-b-que Rental: 2,000 yen (including charcoal)
Train ticket: 2,600 yen one way (depends on which train though)
Bus: 620 yen one way
Onsen: 500 yen
Groceries: 3,000 yen
Charring meat: Priceless
English Ok. Pets Ok. But you must return the cabin to the state you found it in. I highly recommend this for families, especially if you can drive. Using public transport was a bit of a pain in the ass, and limits your options if you are staying for more than one night.
***Also, just a reminder I'll be broadcasting live on BlogTV Wed and Thursday at around 11am Tokyo Time. My guest on Thursday will be Mike from the K-1 kickboxing video. He is back in town for work and will stop by to discuss readjusting to his new life Los Angeles after 20 years living in Tokyo. Should be a really fun time. Check out the webpage for info, and a time countdown to when the broadcast airs in your neck of the woods if you are confused by time zones.

Yes, being an ignorant redneck is so prideful.
It's typical of a redneck to resort to vulgarity when they have nothing better to say.
