June 6, 2026, sunny. Today I went to the 2nd Yamanashi Outdoor Festival "Yuru Fes△" held in Kofu.

About This Event

The 2nd Yamanashi Outdoor Festival "Yuru Fes△" is a comprehensive event themed around the popular anime "Laid-Back Camp," combining Yamanashi's outdoor culture and local specialties. The venue featured stage performances, camping experiences, food stalls, collaboration merchandise, and related exhibitions, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the world of the series and the outdoor charm of Yamanashi in a relaxed atmosphere.

Lanterns (Daytime Version)

Since work has been so busy lately, I really couldn't get up early, so I opted to head to Kofu around noon.

I arrived in Kofu at about 3 p.m.

But for this event, that was probably the liveliest time!

The biggest highlight of the event was the lanterns!

One side featured characters from "Laid-Back Camp," and the other side had the names of the author, production staff, and sponsors.

When will WIKIMOE get to hang a lantern up there too!

Main Stage (Daytime Version)

Suzuki Itasha

In the Historical Park area, a Suzuki itasha was on display.

But it seems this itasha was just for display; I couldn't find the same itasha on the official website!

Collaboration Drinks

It was a bit hot, so first, let's grab two collaboration drinks: Nadeshiko and Rin!

Big Star Rin-chan Appears!

So many people! It was hard to capture Rin-chan on camera.

As expected of big star Rin-chan! So cute!

Food Time

The food was so delicious that I forgot to take photos after eating. Skipping...

Cast Talk Show and Lantern Lighting Ceremony

The voice actors invited for Day 1 were

Yumiri Hanamori: role of Nadeshiko Kagamihara

Nao Toyama: role of Rin Shima

The talk roughly started from when they last came to Kofu and the activities they participated in today.

I still can't get that song out of my head — Maki! Maki! Maki! ♪

The segment where the mascot Rin, Nao Toyama, and Yumiri Hanamori each claimed to be the real Rin was also hilarious.

It reminded me of an old meme.

Since photography and recording were strictly prohibited during this segment, it's something you can only experience in person.

After that was the lantern lighting ceremony.

The lanterns from earlier were lit up together, signaling the event's second half!

Lanterns (Night Version)

At night, the lanterns became even more beautiful.

Here's a 360° panoramic photo.

Kofu Station at Night

With the final campfire talk show segment ending, the event was pretty much over.

Actually, the event had a lot of content, so much that I forgot to take photos as mementos.

I hope I can attend again next time!

Loot Time

This event gave out a ton of postcards.

A postcard lover's dream come true!

But for some reason, I drew the same character three times in a row from the photo frame bonus 😇.

It just so happens that this matches my previous three-in-a-row draw of Kokoro.
