After our last camping trip, we wanted to go again before it got too cold. So we took the ferry over to Chiba, and what better place to go camping than in the middle of a tangerine grove. After setting up the tent we took a walk into the grove to eat as many tangerines as we could pick. Although it was November the air was warm in Chiba. After camping we did some more exploring in Chiba and also took the ropeway up to the top of Mt. Nokogiri.
We decided to go camping again before it got too cold. There is a nice campground that I highly recommend around the Tanzawa mountain range that is located along a river. The river is also stocked with rainbow trout and for a fee you can rent a pole and try to catch as many fish as you want. You then take the fish you caught back to your campsite and cook them over your fire. There is also a small hiking path up to a nice waterfall. In the summer, you can also go swimming in the river but it was way too cold by the time we went, so we just had fun throwing rocks.
South towards the end of the peninsula there is a short hiking trail that ends at the ocean. Once near the ocean, along the trail you can search for and try to catch crabs, with the red clawed variety being famous in the area.
We went back to the Yokosuka museum of art to check out the Animals exhibit. This time we also walked down to the beach for some fun in the water.
