🗓️ Solo Camping at Doshinomori Camping Ground – November 13–14, 2025 🍁🌧️🔥🚐
This week, the forecast announced rain.
But near Mount Fuji, the autumn colors had finally arrived.
It was the perfect time to go out and enjoy them.
I decided to set up camp right next to a river.
The weather wasn’t great, but the place was absolutely beautiful.
The ground was covered with a warm carpet of orange leaves.
Because of the chance of rain, I planned to sleep inside the car to stay dry and warm.
