I’m getting the fire ready.
Now, a quiet night begins.

The place I headed to was Goishi Coast Campground, located in the national park in Iwate Prefecture, Japan.

The camp gear is laid out, and the setup is complete.
There still seems to be room for improvement.
Now, let’s simply enjoy the camp.

With the setup finished, it’s time to relax with a cup of coffee.
In this place, you can hear the sound of waves in the distance — a quiet and peaceful campground.

Let’s set up the tent.
The tent is from Tokyo Craft, a Japanese outdoor gear maker.
Since it was hot, I switched to a white cooling jacket partway through.

I’m preparing for my first solo camping trip in about forty years, getting ready to set out.
I wonder if it will become the gentle journey I’m hoping for.

Some spaces just invite you to pause — this little garden nook is one of them. The soft light, the rustling greenery, the quiet tucked-away feeling… it’s a gentle reminder to slow down and enjoy the simplest moments.
