Nakahara

#Yakuza = mafia

The motel was nice but i could not get a good sleep. The hostess was very kind and asked us if she could take our picture and if she could add us as her facebook friend. We then cycled to the Ishu-Lake and decided to try some japanese breads...there were alot of weird combinations, wasabi-french bread, green tea croissant, egg-curry bread and the list goes on...we also visited a local shinto temple. The village is famous for their black-eggs, which apparently will extend your life for 7 years if you eat one! No wonder alot of japanese lived so long, they have the eggs...🤔It started raining again and we had to climb up the hill. We were cycling quite fast till suddently i hit a rock on the road and fell into the ground, and slide through the road like for 3 meters!! Kei rushed to me, he looked pale, thinking i might broke something from the fall. Apparently it looked more dramatic it was, since aside from some small bruises and cuts i was perfectly fine! Most importantly my bicycle was still functioning well after the fall. Besides, the sliding was quite fun, the road was quite wet that i hardly felt anything while sliding on it. But i might not be lucky next time, maybe its time to buy a bike-helmet....We continued cycling to Gotemba and decided to camp there, with a nice view of Fuji-san behind us ( even though it can be hardly be seen, due to bad relatively bad weather). The owner of the camping site was very kind and tried his best to explain to us about the place. At night we went to a japanese-Onsen nearby, which is a public bath with natural hot water. In front of the Onsen was a big sign showing that people with tattoos are not allowed to come to the place, since in japan having a tattoo normally means that you belong to a yakuza-clanRead more
