Hi everyone,
I would like to join this!
This is my first time using this site and hoping this is the right way to sign-up...

Hello everyone,

This event is getting crowded, LOL.

I called the tourist center in Akiruno City. This year, due to typhoon we had last autumn, we may not see as many fireflies as we used to. Let's give it a try. They recommended that we walk up Yozawa river toward north.

Tokuunin temple seems to be popular place to see fireflies. We can walk along Yozawa River and have picnic dinner.

As for the cave, we may get mad on our clothings, so don't wear expensive outdoor clothings.

The train from Shinjuku normally detaches and one goes to Okutama and the other goes to Musashi Itsukaichi station. I also recommend that people coming from Shinjuku meet in Shinjuku so that you can get on the right train. I have seen a few members in the past getting on the train that goes in the wrong direction and we had to wait for them.

I will be coming through Hachiouji , and will be taking 12:02 train from Haijima for Musashi Itsukaichi. I will be in the front car.

Meeting time at Musashi Istukaichi station is 12:19. In any case, I will check the weather and reconfirm meeting time on Thurday.

Fixed... we go by the reply order anyway so that is always there. Thanks for pointing out.
Group is getting a bit big.

All details are now added to first post on page 1.

I suggest those going from Shinjuku meet on the platform (in the middle) at 1110am. Train at 1122.
SEE TRAVEL DETAILS SECTION IN FIRST POST.

Beware - train divides at Haijima (or change of train required) - make sure you are in the correct part of the train for Musashi Itsukaichi station.

We use mchat page for fast conversation about meeting. travel, problems on the day of event.

Hi. Andy

My friend, Kaeko, registered and will join. Pls confirm

[Andy OCJ]

Please do not send 500yen to me -Kaeko already has sent.

Nozomi will collect on the day and send to paypal.

If the event is cancelled it is a big problem sending back, and Nozomi does not know who paid me. I cannot keep updating the page.
Paypal also take a larger fee for each small transaction.

Reminder - do not send 500yen event fee now - give it to Nozomi at the beginning of the event.

Hi! Unfortunately I can't join anymore this Saturday. Have a great one!

[Vidal]

Got a small injury and probably won't be back to normal by this WE, and seeing how this event got very popular I'd rather cancel in advance so somebody else can take my spot. Everybody enjoy the trip nevertheless, and take nice shots of the fireflies!

[Chihiro]

Hi everyone,

I'm sorry but this group has gotten a bit bigger than what I feel comfortable meeting up with right now.

Looking forward to meeting you later! (hopefully sometime soon)
