Preparing for the International Camp.

I told y'all that i'd be going on a big trip this weekend and so I thought I would clue you all in as to where I was going.

We're going to Norboribetsu City (登別市), it's a mostly a tourist trap for Japanese and Gaijin alike. The city is famous for some geological sites like: Jigokudani (Hell Vally), Hiyoriyama (Mt. Hiyori), Oyunoyu (Oyu Swamp), and Kuttarako (lake Kuttarako).

Also the town has the Kuma bokujo or the "bear park" as well as a historical town like the old coyboy western towns (only Japanese samurai style). The other famous thing about Norboriebetsu is thier onsens... oh yeah.
