For Golden week I joined TG on a camping trip to Niijima - an island considered to be within Tokyo despite it taking 11 hours by ferry! As can be expected, with 70 of us, including the usual reprobates, there was plenty of trouble, booze, controversy & laughter...
This trip surpassed all my expectations and I look forward to visiting more of Japan's islands. The long weekend entailed plenty of cycling, swimming in the sea, enjoying the delightful onsens (free and overlooking the ocean), eating well, bonding & partying.
