Camping and fishing
In search of Nagano
This time, I searched for a place where I could camp and fish, and arrived at "Oguteko Campsite" on the shore of a small lake in Nagano Prefecture. Lake Ogute, located in the back room of Shinshu, south of Nagano Prefecture, which extends from north to south, is said to have originated from being created by local residents as a reservoir for drought water in the fields, and is now a natural lake. It creates a wonderful landscape. Looking at the official website, it seems that the owner seems to like music, and music events are held regularly on weekends, making it a campsite that is deeply popular with users.
If you use the expressway to access Lake Ogute, it is a hideaway spot with a good location that can be reached from both Kanto and Kansai in about two and a half hours.
About 500m per lap
Small lake
When you arrive at Lake Ogute and get out of the car, you will see a forest and a lake in front of you. A small island floats in the middle of the lake, where the water god is enshrined.
You can take a walk around the lake, and tent sites are divided between the forests so that you can enjoy the location of the lake. Since the lake is right in front of the tent site, you can enjoy camping in a luxurious space as if you monopolized this landscape.
After receiving a polite lecture on camping and fishing at the reception, I set about preparing to set up a tent.
When the tent was set up, the sun was tilted and the area gradually became dark. Two orange fires of lanterns are lit at the tent site surrounding the lake, and the lake surface is made gorgeous with the lights of the lakeside inn that operates the campsite. By the time it was difficult to see my feet without lights, a fantastic world was spreading in front of me.
Since it is a solo camp, after getting hungry with a simple camp meal, I spent time slowly preparing the tackle I brought while imagining tomorrow's fishing.
The next morning, I thought about fishing, and I was excited and woke up early in the morning. When I went out of the tent and looked up at the sky, I could still see many stars on the lake, which made me feel a little better.
After all, it gets cold at dawn, so brew coffee to warm it up.
Every time I go camping, the coffee I get in this situation is twice as delicious even with the same instant. Does extraordinary make you think so? Anyway, it feels delicious.
Now that you're immersed in a little happiness, let's start fishing.
