The Outdoor Exploration Club continues its excursion in Izu! Between walking up Mount Omuro, seeing capybaras bathing in a hot spring, and cooking up some spiny lobster, the girls have plenty more to enjoy. But there's also something extra-special about this camping trip: Nadeshiko's and Inuko's birthdays! Can the rest of the OEC successfully pull off a surprise party, or is the secret already out...?

Nadeshiko and the others are back home from Izu, and they’re already thinking about where to go next. Ena has an idea for some luxurious daytime camping that hits close to home, literally. Her spacious backyard is the perfect place to grill sausages and check out Chikuwa’s pup tent. But where’s Rin in all this? Seems she’s busy planning something...like a road trip for two?!

Ever since Rin began talking about the unique joys of solo camping, it's been on Nadeshiko's mind-and now she's intent on trying it herself! But while Nadeshiko has her heart set on going it alone, both Rin and Nadeshiko's big sister, Sakura, can't help but worry. Can such an easygoing girl handle the outdoors all by herself?

Ever since the beginning of winter break, the Outdoor Exploration Club has been saving up to buy the camping equipment of their dreams. Now it's time to splurge before their next trip-to Lake Yamanaka! But while Inuko, Aki, and Ena have some camping under their belts, could they be underestimating Mother Nature a little too much? It may be difficult to have a laid-back camp when it's freeeeezing...!

Setting up a tent, starting a fire, and eating noodles with Mt. Fuji in view...Rin and Nadeshiko absolutely love to camp! Enjoy their zest for travel and maybe even pick up a tip or two about roughing it in the great outdoors. You might just want to go camping yourself!

Rin's always loved to go camping solo, while Nadeshiko's learning to appreciate camping more and more. What sights will they take in when they bump into each other, especially with the entire Outdoor Exploration Club in tow?

It's the moment the girls have all been waiting for: the Izu camping trip! From beautiful volcanic rock formations to unique foods (like wasabi ice cream!), Izu is a scenic peninsula with a lot to offer travelers. But while the rest of the Outdoor Exploration Club are heading there by car, Rin decides to ride all the way down on her longest scooter trip ever. This adventure is guaranteed to leave some lasting memories!

Rin is traveling by scooter along the Ooi River with Nadeshiko’s old friend, Aya, but they know they won’t be by themselves for long—Nadeshiko is making her way there via rail for an exciting camp rendezvous! From heart-stopping suspension bridges to unique combining trains and local delicacies like “dam curry,” it’s an outdoor adventure that’ll excite the senses. And when it’s time to settle down around the campfire for the night, one thing’s for sure: Meat’s on the menu!!

Having passed her exams, Nadeshiko is looking forward to camping with Rin, but a sudden cold keeps Nadeshiko in bed. Now Rin is on an impromptu solo trip to Nagano. While she's used to going it alone, she still keeps thinking about Nadeshiko...Could there be a way for Nadeshiko to come along for the ride after all? Ah, technology and nature in harmony!
