Let's go on a trip with tents on our backs. Things we used on our Hachijojima trip.

The temperature is rising day by day and the days are gradually getting longer. Just stepping outside is enough to make you feel relaxed, and many of you must be itching to go on a trip somewhere. This is what pushed me to go on a trip to Hachijojima. In this second part, we focus on the gear that supported us on our trip. From transportation, camping, mountain climbing, and running. We will introduce the tools that supported us on this trip, along with our real-life impressions of how they were used.

When you pay attention to your gear, your travel experience becomes even richer.

The theme of this trip to Hachijojima was “low-cost travel, rich experiences.” What struck me once again was that just by paying a little more attention to your gear, the quality of your trip can improve dramatically.

Take tents and sleeping pads, for example. While the initial investment is significant, it’s not overly expensive when you consider how many times you’ll use them—and, above all, they make a huge difference in your comfort and freedom while traveling. It’s these small details that ultimately lead to a richer travel experience.

Travel light and have a great time. Choosing the right gear is part of the fun of traveling.

So, where should I go next with my tent on my back?
