[There is more to Hachijo Island than just creepy hotels filled with fungus--though there are plenty of those.
But one doesn't need to visit one for impressive-looking black-sand beaches with tide pools and sea turtles frolicking nearby, or tall, green cliffs that fall off into the sea, or mountains to climb, or hot springs with views of the aforementioned cliffs and beaches or even overlooking a waterfall.
Nemesis comes ashore with satchel full, looking between the greenery and the water and the mountains rising nearby, and then over to Hurricane, grinning]
...Ready to relax?

Man, I dunno if I ever seen one in real life.

[From here, they can in fact hear the rush of water. It's not much longer down the path until the trees open up to a tall waterfall, splashing into a milky green lake. The path itself seems to continue on, disappearing into the rock.]

[He takes hold of her hand - shakes it a little, as though to make sure she's looking - looks toward her, to check the same, or perhaps just to see her seeing it]
no subject
[She runs up to the low railing at the edge of the drop, eyes wide as she peers up to see where the water comes from, and down to see where it goes. She looks back to him, genuinely impressed]
What d'you think of that?
no subject
S'pretty awesome.
Look how tall this thing is.
no subject
no subject
I bet it's deep enough. We could totally swim here.
no subject
[She points to where water flows from the summit]
--To there.
[And she points down, to the pool of water below]
no subject
We gotta do it.

no subject
[Reaches out to take her hand, already heading toward it]
no subject
...The path keeps going around, right? Can check that out?
no subject
[Keeping hold as they walk]
no subject
The path continues upwards, curving around the lake towards the falls. A branch comes up to their right; a half-flight of stairs that smells faintly of sulfur]
What d'you think?

[She tugs him up the stairs to find a very simple bamboo doorway; through it is a simple, unmanned stone pool, filled with steaming water. The forest comes right up to the bath, ferns and vines dripping off the cypress wood rooftop and trailing up the simple, open fencing that separates the spring from the rocky slope of the mountain.]
Definitely gonna have to check this out later...
no subject
How's this place even real?
no subject
no subject
Guess we better start making up for lost time.
no subject
[Squeezes his hand]
no subject
So what do you think?
Find a camp spot, do some swimming, chill out here after?

[Keeping hold of her hand as he heads that way]
