there's a special type of vacation that you can only do when you're at home.

お家時間を楽しみましょう！

Pitch your tent in the living room and grab a sleeping bag

リビングにテントを張って

it's time for some Home Camping Life in Japan style!

ホームキャンプの始まりです！

Oh my goodness!

ママの繭よ

Step into Mommy's cocoon...

ママの物になったかな

Oh, see? Mommy has claimed it as her own.
