Getting There
Public Transport The site is accessible by bus from Sendai station. A MAJET rep will meet people that wish to catch the bus from Sendai station at the stained glass window at 17:30 (departure time of 18:00). The bus ride is about 1.5 hrs long (1200 yen), so you can start your spooky story telling a bit early! After the bus, it is necessary to be picked up by the site’s driver, which will be prearranged by MAJET. If you want to come earlier/later than this, we advise prearranging a lift, or asking someone you know that will be driving to the site to pick you up from the bus drop off. Though we are starting things a bit late on Friday night, consider hitting up the onsen the next day (provided you are in good condition)! You could also hit up the excellent brewery next to the site. Driving The site is located here: http://www.town.kami.miyagi.jp/yakurai-shinkou/access/index.html This is the address of the site should you want to print a map: 宮城県加美郡加美町字味ケ袋薬莱原1-76 |
What's happening??
This year our Halloween festivities will take place at the Yakurai Cottages on Friday, October 31st. The idea is to have a Halloween party up in the hills. There will be a costume contest, and one cabin will be opened up as a party cabin with music (80's dance party!) and spooky films. It will be the perfect combination of house party and sleepover! Yakurai??
Yakurai is a campsite up in the pretty mountains. Located on a wasabi farm (the spookiest of vegetables), MAJET have rented us some haunted cottages, complete with equipped kitchens, bathrooms and tatami rooms. Check-out is at 10 a.m. on Saturday, but if you care to stay around the area, the site also has a good onsen, which is 500 yen. There is a brewery next door to the campsite, with a restaurant that serves their beer. Whilst it is not very spooky, there is also an organic vegetable shop on site. How's this party going to work??
MAJET needs your help to party! Help us help you.
And of course, don't forget to dress in your finest Halloween garb to get judged by others in return. Sorry, what was that about food? MAJET plans to do a communal meal in the evening, where people can cook and eat together. The cabins are equipped with kitchens and cooking utensils, but remember to bring your own oil/butter/spices/whatever else. if you want to bring things to share, be our guest! If you want to team up with a few friends and cater for yourselves, all good too! What should I bring?
What should I not bring?
