We left Hiroshima in the morning and traveled the long way around to Shikoku Island. We decided to go camping in an area called Kazura-bashi after a vine-bridge of the same name. We arrived at the Oboke train station just in time to catch the last bus to Kazorabashi and then walked to the campsite (a long climb downhill, followed by a long climb up and then another climb down....)
However, when we arrived at the camp site there was a chain with a sign in Japanese at the entrance and the campsite looked abandoned. Having nowhere else o go and not wishing to bother anyway, we crosed the chain and entered the campsite. There was hot water in the showers and the lights turned on with no problem so we had ejoyed the first night there
In the morning, we read in the maps we got from the trainstation that the campsite is closed on Tuesdays. The keeper arrived and asked that we pay for the night....

This is Kazurabashi, the vine bridge. It was handy to have the bridge made of vine as you could cut it from under the feet of your enemy and have him fall to the river below. (there is a movie link below if you want to see it more closely)
The next day we declared a holiday and walked 4km to an Onsen (spa), where we spoiled ourselves.
The spa was amazing! It was sex-segregated and had for each sex huge facilities: a locker-dressing room equiped with lotions, creams and disposable hairbrushes, a shower, huge hot-bath (34deg. C), a small bath with water at 39degrees, a cold bath, a steam-room, water fountains, an outdoor hot-bath etc.
We spent an hour washing and scrabing and met in the loby.
We had lunch at the place then made use of their quite-room where there are matresses, blankets and reclining-chairs for anyone needing a nap.
After our nap we moved to the massage-chairs!
We got a ride back to the camp from two nice japanese who had spent their day pretty much as we did.
How fun!
