HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAMI - 17,432 Days Left Until Extinction Commemoration
Strawberry Picking and Hato Bus Tour
So, we went on the Hato Bus Tour. It's a bit late, but here's a report on the event. The schedule was:
8:00 AM: Meet in Shinjuku
8:40 AM: Departure
Trip to Nagatoro Town in Saitama Prefecture, where we visited Hodosan to view the plum blossoms (we took the ropeway).
Lunch at Seibu Nagatoro Hotel.
Then, we went strawberry picking in Chichibu City, Saitama Prefecture.
We returned to Shinjuku at 6:00 PM.
Of course Kami and all the members seemed to have a great time. As for everyone who participated… there's no need to say anything more, right? Now, please enjoy along with the photos.
Here’s the ropeway we rode that day (edited by Közi). It’s called "Monkey No. 1". It was super comfortable (Kami). - Photo 1 top left
Yes, everyone, this is the Ume Hyakka-en (Plum Hundred Flowers Garden). Please don’t lag behind and follow along! (Mana) - Photo 2 top right
To my beloved…MaCheri - Photo 4 bottom right

As you can see from the two photos above, the “MaCheri” part of the tour name was somehow changed to "MaSeri", which gave us a big laugh. This happened at the hotel where we had lunch (even though the name on the bus was correct...).
