Izu Camping!!! Birthdays!

**"Izu Camping!!! Birthdays!"** is the twelfth episode of season two of *Yuru CampΔ*.

## Synopsis from the official anime site

*It's the second day of the Izu trip. They enjoy sightseeing in Izu at the Tombolo on Sehama Beach, and in Dogashima Park. At night, the long-awaited birthday surprise of Nadeshiko and Aoi will be held!*
### Plot

It’s day two of the Izu Peninsula trip. Rin rejoins the others for brunch. The first stop today is the Geosite at Dogashima, where they see a sea cave similar to Ryugu cave which Rin went to the day before. Next is the tombolo. It’s a path which emerges from the sea at low tide, allowing people to walk to Sanshirou Island. From there Rin leads the way on her scooter as they drive to Mount Daruma Highland where their next campsite is located.

Toba-sensei takes Nadeshiko, Aoi, and Akari to Cape Mihama, which is another Geosite. Akari is tasked with keeping Nadeshiko and Aoi distracted while Rin, Ena, and Chiaki make dinner and set up for the surprise birthday party back at camp. Akari can hardly contain herself, but then Aoi reveals that they already know about the party. Dinner is shrimp and tomato risotto, with a seafood sauce made from the shell of yesterday’s spiny lobster.

They all get up early to climb Mount Daruma to watch the sunrise. Toba-sensei stays back in the car with Akari, who needs more sleep.
