Although I botched my trip to Korea, I was able to enjoy japanese hippie time. Normally hippies are stinky, offensive and annoying, but Japanese hippies were quite tolerable. They somehow got their kids not to stare at foreigners like we were aliens. +1 Hippies!
Read MoreThe stage with a hemp peace sign on the back.
Everyone setup tents and lots of them had little shops. In the background, yes, those are teepees.
Some hippie hovels.
Lazy japanese dogs.
We were set up on the edge of the whole deal. Our campsite was down the way. The festival took place on the outer part of Aso -san.
This little girl cleaned all the pots after breakfast. No supervision required! I want one!
Japanese hippies like to write the word "FREE" next to pictures of cannabis leaves. This is misleading. They really mean "Legalize"... Thats how J-hippies roll.
The main stage. You can see a few tent shops. They sold clothes and food mostly.
The teepee in this picture is a little coffee and tea tent. They also served great porridge. More on that later.
Scenery!
More of it! This was just over the hill behind the camp. Some folks were doing yoga or something on the top of the hill to the left of me.
This chap made us organic homegrown veggie
chapati.
This doggie woke up when the food was done.
This is the coffee teepee I referred to earlier. We enjoyed chai tea.
After finishing cooking, he played us some tunes on his guitar.
This little Nepalese girl is a natural model and hammed it up for our cameras.
What a cute kid. And the parents weren't weird about her playing with the ugly foreigners.

Looks like a great time, Paul.
I'll have to make sure Randall sees this post. Right now, he is on a "hippie trip" of his own. He and a friend from college decided they needed to "see more of the country" so they are driving from Virginia to California & back. One of their main destinations is the hippie culture in San Francisco. After seeing this, he may plan a trip to Japan.
Great to hear from you.

Totally groovy. I'd say Helter Skelter, but with the Japanese even their hippie towns appear organized. Great photos, thanks for sharing them.
