“Yuru Camp,” tells the tale of Nadeshiko, a high school student who had moved from Shizuoka to Yamanashi. Upon her arrival, she makes the decision to see the famous, 1000 yen-bill-featured Mount Fuji and to bike all the way to Motosu. However, halfway into the trip, she ends up falling asleep and ends up waking up in a place she’s never been before, with no way of knowing how to get home.

Meanwhile, Rin Shima is a high school girl whose ideal way of spending her days off is camping alone at the base of Mount Fuji. From pitching her tent to gathering firewood, she has always done everything by herself and has no plans of leaving her little solitary world. One day while on one of her camping trips, she comes across Nadeshiko and decides to help her. The two converse and share ramen until Nadeshiko’s sister picks her up and thus marks the start of two girls finding the joys in camping.
