The result of a camping amateur choosing gear and going out into the field at Shibuya Parco.

While some people are sad to see the end of summer, it is a happy time for campers. The heat from the campfire is appreciated and an early morning cup of coffee is good for the body. PARCO OUTDOOR PARK" opened on the 5th floor of Shibuya PARCO at the same time. In this vast space, independent brands have gathered to offer a wide range of gear, tents, tarps, and other items. Three HOUYHNHNM's readers, amateur campers, will tell you about the charm of this new spot. They are here to help you choose the products and go camping with them.

SCENE2 We were all beginners, and now it was time to go to the campground.

After an hour and a half drive from Shibuya PARCO, we arrived at HINOKO TOKYO.

After unloading, the first thing to do was to assemble the chairs. Each of the Polar chairs is so easy to assemble that it takes only a minute, and the chairs are stylishly finished.

Next, we set up the tent and tarp. The tent we chose this time was the "Tierra Lindo" tent by Ogawa for two to three people. The tarp is Ogawa's Field Tarp Hexa DX. Both were relatively easy to set up, but we were three novice campers.

How is the tent set up?

Shoot:To be honest, I don't know what to do (laughs). Mr. Nobu, what should I do first?

Knob:First of all, there's that one. You'll need to expand the inner tent, so take that with you. And the cat, too.

If you don't know what you're looking for, go to YouTube.

Photographer: Cat
Mr. Shute was the most physically active. He used to play for FC Tokyo of the J-League and other clubs. He currently plays for Nankatsu SC.

It looks like it's going to stand up just fine. All that's left to do is to put the pegs in place and it's done!

Knob:When you actually stand it up, it's not so easy. But it is somehow doable.

Shoot:I couldn't have done it without Mr. Nobu. Also, YouTube.

Cat:You struggled a lot more than I expected. The landmarks helped a lot too!

Knob:That was true (laughs).

What about the tents and tarps you set up yourself?

Shoot:Once it's finished, it's all ours. It feels good! I'm glad I prepared three chairs.

Cat:The tarp might be a little big, but it's nice to have something as spacious as this. Next time I feel like I can put it up without looking at instructions or YouTube.

Knob:Yes, I do. Can I have a beer? (Laughs)
