The day after the rave we woke up bright and early to get to the bus by 8:30 to head to Gunma!
Along the way we made a couple stops for bathroom breaks and food. And we also go to go strawberry-picking!
Money frog
The strawberry farm was small and nice (the area we were allowed in)
The strawberries were a bit picked-over to be honest, but we did still manage to find and eat some strawberries! They were lightly sweet and fragrant~ I also documented the mutants I found.
We got our rooms and the public onsen was for men only at the time, so the men went to onsen and the rest of us went to explore the town or, in my case, take a big nap as I'd once again woken up around 4am despite the rave the night before.
After dinner, where the hotel did some miscommunication about the time and duration of dinner but we got it sorted in the end, we did karaoke! I didn't know most of the songs to be honest, but it was nice to hang out with everybody for a bit.
Then it was ladies' turn in the public onsen so we went there! No photos for obvious reasons. There was also a sign that definitely said no tattoos allowed 😿 but hopefully we get a pass for being foreign?? Nobody said anything in any case, and one of the Japanese ladies actually chatted with kayz0rbeam a bit though I couldn't hear what they said haha. She seemed interested in why we were there. Also the signs were entirely in Japanese with no illustrations so 😾
The next day we had breakfast (I really am not a fan of Japanese breakfast.... it feels more like lunch/dinner! So I just got some eggs and milk) and then a river rafting tour thing!
It was raining lightly, which wasn't too big a deal to be honest.
However, the water level was too low and we were not able to get far down the river. All in all, the tour was only about 20 minutes 😹 but it was still fun!
Back on land we all got some lunch separately
I got soba with ImaginaryDuke
SHOP CAT
After making it back to Tokyo Station, we parted ways and I left my bag at ImaginaryDuke's hotel so we could explore more easily. We picked up some medication for the cold going around and went to the newly-opened Silk Hat Tokyo arcade! It was very shiny and new~
ObliquerStrategies and Switchboard.op met us there after they were done visiting their shop as well.
EGG
Also went to some ACG goods building
In the evening we all met up again at a standing bar that Potato.lau likes!
Mine is the kiwi sour. And that's a medium! Their drinks were BIG
IDK why we got a total of four orders of French Fries hahaha
Actually really good potato/egg salad
Gotta love fried octopus!
Daikon with really good numbing pepper!
Mushrooms!
Sake!
Roasty toasty
Yup we finished it
One of the girls had brought this awful-tasting alcohol called Malort from Chicago and gave three mini bottles to the staff and a regular. They chugged it and from their facial expressions you could tell it was very not good 😹😹😹 The regular taped the bottle to his head
King of Malort!
I ended up crashing a bit early from a combination of sickness and drink, so ImaginaryDuke took me back to my hotel. I had a soak in the tub (tubs are so nice!) and then went to bed!
