 Japan Camp Counselors 1: Six Girls!

   by Ken Maeda

   Hi.  My name is Ken Maeda.  When I first read Don's "Year Away in Japan"
postings, I thought 'hey this is kind of like what happened me,' so I wrote
to him to tell him a bit about my experiences in Japan.  Ever since, he's
been pestering me to write my story up, so I finally did, and here it is.
I'd like to thank him for taking such an interest, and editing my writing.
I've never really done anything like this before, but actually, this is one
experience that I definitely don't want to forget, so I'm kind of happy to
have got it all down.

   It all started one day last spring.  I'd submitted my SAT scores to a
bunch of different universities, and was waiting to see where I'd get in,
when my dad suddenly drops this bomb on me that he's not going to be able
to pay my tuition.  As you can probably imagine, I was pretty upset, but
anyway, a few days later he comes back, and says he's found a summer job
for me that should help get things started.  I thought great, but once he
began explaining things, I realized what he was up to.

   You see, it turned out the job was in Japan.  My parents are from Japan,
but I was born in the States, and ever since I was little, they've been
trying to get me to learn Japanese.  I went to a Saturday school, for a few
years, but to tell you the truth, I wasn't too interested in it as a kid. I
knew right away that this was just dad's way of pushing me to study again.
Anyway, it turned out that the pay wasn't bad, and dad had already set
everything up, so eventually I agreed to go.

   The job was working as a counselor for kids in this camp in Nagano, a
mountainous area in the middle of Japan, not too far from where my
grandparents live.  Apparently, I went to this particular camp for a week
one summer, though I barely remember it.  Still, the fact that I was an
alumnus of the camp had helped swing me the job.  As soon as school
finished up, I flew over here, and spent a few days with my grandparents
before heading off to the camp.

   It's a nice enough place I guess, though not much like camps in the
States.  We drove down this steep wooded laneway, and I thought cool, but
when we came out into the clearing, there was this huge three storey main
building like a training center or something.  The director himself came
out to give me a tour.  Behind the building, there were these winding stone
steps that lead down into a clearing where the kids can play soccer or
whatever, and there's a river for swimming and canoeing, and a few other
small wooden buildings.  The director spoke in rapid Japanese, so I didn't
really follow much of what he said, but he seemed nice enough.  Eventually,
he got this woman, Ms.  Suzuki, to show me to my room, and introduce the
other counselors.

   The counselors all lived up on the third floor of the main building. 
After she showed me my room, she took me down the hall to this lounge where
we found four of the other counselors hanging out.  When I rounded the
corner, I was kind of shocked because they were all were women.  I was
introduced round the circle: Mika, Michiyo, Kimiko, and Mai.  There were
all around the same age as me, with Kimiko and Mai perhaps a year younger.
The thing that struck me right away was how beautiful they all were.

   Mika is tall and kind of angular like a high fashion model or something.
She comes across as very confident, and is in some ways the leader of the
group.  Michiyo has her hair dyed brown, but sort of has this look of
intensity in her eyes.  She never quite looks at you, but she kind of
blinks nervously whenever I look at her.  Kimiko is the shyest one and the
most conservative dresser.  She has very long straight hair, and always
wears long skirts and blouses with long sleeves.  Mai struck me almost like
something out of a Japanese cartoon.  She has short hair with big eyes and
long eyelashes, and wears dresses or boyish clothes with cutesy designs on
them.

   I was so struck by them that when I was introduced, my mind went blank,
and I just kind of stood there, unable to get out even the simplest
greeting in Japanese.  I finally mumbled out something, but they just
stared at me for a moment wide eyed, and then broke out laughing.

   "Kawaii!  (=Cute)," Mika said.  I looked down at the floor, kicking
myself for not having some charming line ready.  Eventually, Ms.  Suzuki
left, and I went back to my room, and got out my phrasebooks to try to find
something witty to say that would win them over.

   At supper, I met two more counselors, Kayo and Chie, just as incredibly
good-looking as the other four.  Kayo has a very wholesome look, sort of
like your typical girl next door.  She's even got freckles.  Chie is the
joker in the group, and will talk your ear off, although she is pretty
funny.  I kind of like the way she looks when she's laughing though.  I
tried to figure out if any of them could speak English, but they all just
kept joking around, and asking me questions in Japanese.  I was happy to be
the center of attention, but the whole situation was a bit more than my
meager Japanese skills could cope with.

   The next few days went by quickly with me trying to figure out where
everything was and exactly what I was supposed to do.  The other counselors
were kind of shy at first, so we didn't talk so much, and whenever I did
say something, it would turn out to be wrong, and they would all break out
laughing.  Around bedtime, I would see them walking around in their
yukatas, a blue and grey light cotton bathrobe which we'd all got. 
Apparently, they were going to the communal bath that Ms.  Suzuki had
pointed out when she showed me around.  I wasn't sure what I was supposed
to do, but anyway, there was a shower in my room, so at first I just used
that.  I did start hanging around in the lounge though around that time,
hoping to catch of glimpse of them coming back from the bath.  They would
have this wonderful clean scent, and looked quite sexy with their hair all
wet and tied up at the back.

   Before long, the first batch of kids arrived.  They had to share rooms
with bunk beds on the second floor.  Kayo and I each got a group of junior
high school students, with the other counselors having kids who were
younger.  Mai and Kimiko took care of the youngest group, the toddlers.  We
all ate together in the big cafeteria, but except for Mai and Kimiko, the
counselors tended to sit together at one table away from the kids.  The
first day was mostly orientation run by the camp staff, so we didn't have
to do much.  The next day in the morning, we did crafts, and then after
lunch, went outside to play some games.  My kids taught me a game called
'Daruma-san ga koronda' where everyone tries to sneak up on the kid who is
'it,' but cannot move while s/he is watching.  I taught them flags (with
two teams each trying to steal the other's flag), and we all had a great
time.  One of the great things was that my kids didn't laugh at my
Japanese, and actually, we all got along pretty well.

   This was the day though that the first really weird thing happened to
me. We were out on the field playing, and Kayo came over to me just as we
were finishing, and kind of looked at me nervously for a while before she
got the nerve to say what was on her mind.  She explained that I'd have to
take all the boys into the change room by the bath because they were
supposed to get showered up before supper.  I said "sure," but I couldn't
help feeling that something was up.  When we were done, I took my kids back
up the steps to the main building where the large bath was.

   My kids and I all went back to our rooms to get our towels and yukata.
Mai and Kimiko were waiting for me in front of the change rooms with their
own boys.  This was my first time to go in to the communal bath.  I led all
the boys into the guy's change room, but luckily, all of them seemed quite
able to look after themselves.  I started to have a shower in the main
shower room, but the boys who finished before me kept going out through
this frosted glass door.  When I was done showering, I tied a towel around
my waist, and followed them through out into this big bath.

   I walked out onto the stone deck, and was surprised to see one of my own
girls soaking in the large bathing pool.  I immediately thought "what's she
doing in the guys' bath," but as I looked around, it suddenly dawned on me
that not only were all our kids there, but Chie, Kayo and Michiyo were over
sitting on some rocks, near what must be the girl's entrance.  Geez, this
bloody bath is co-ed!  The kids didn't seem bothered by it at all, and were
running all over the place, naked as the day they were born.  Chie, Kayo
and Michiyo quite naturally had each wrapped a big white towel around their
bodies.  Thank god I covered up before I came out.  Even with their towels,
they still looked damn sexy, the pink skin of their shoulders and legs
glistening wet in the bright sunlight making them stand out against the
stone deck.

   They noticed me, and started looking over this way.  I straightened my
towel, but already my little happy man was starting to register his
pleasure at the sight of these three exotic beauties in nothing but towels.
Embarrassed, I climbed into the bath as fast as I could, before anyone
noticed.  The bath was almost the size of a swimming pool, but much more
shallow, and covered in rocks that are supposed to make it look like a
natural hot spring.  I sunk deep in, as some of my kids ran up to me.

   "Don't run." Aw, heck, how do you say that in Japanese?  Kayo, perhaps
feeling close to me because we both had the older kids, came over to
explain to them.  Then she kneeled down for a second, and told me,

   "Hashicha dame," giving me the phrase I'd been looking for, and then
walked calmly back to where Chie and Michiyo were.  I loved the way Kayo
smiled, and the way the towel clung to the outline of her body.

   "Thank you!" I yelled back, but the three of them just broke out
laughing again.

   The water was scaldingly hot, so soon I had to stand back up to keep
from getting overheated.  I walked away from where the three of them were
sitting towards some large rocks on the men's side.  Throught the window,
you could see a bath outside and beyond that, the tree-covered mountains. I
got out of the bath, feeling somewhat faint, and climbed up on one of the
large rocks to sit down.  Just as I was starting to get over the initial
shock of it all, I heard Kimiko, Mai and Mika walk in, joking and laughing.
I looked over, and wouldn't you know it; there Mika was, walking along with
her back to me, completely naked save the towel on her head.  She was
talking away a mile a minute, not having realized that I was there.

   I just sat there, and gaped.  Her body was truly a work of art - long
legs leading up to her delicious little rump, and the smoothest skin.  As
she turned this way and that, I caught glimpses of her luscious full
breasts and fluffy black pubic hair.  She was the one who had said I was
cute on the first day.  I wondered for a sec if this was her way of coming
on to me, walking around naked for my viewing pleasure.  The more I ogled
her, the stiffer my cock got.  I'd seen some beautiful women before, but
never anything to compare with this.

   Shy Kimiko's eyes moved over this way, and widened as she realized I was
staring at them.  I tried to blend into my stone surroundings, and hide my
developing hard-on.  Kimiko shook Mika by the shoulder, so she twirled to
look straight at me.  She stood there for a moment almost losing her
balance, then hastily undid the towel on her head, and shook it out, her
tits bouncing up and down.  She finally wrapped the towel around her.  I
winced as I came very close to coming.  The three of them walked away from
me over to join the other three.  Mika was saying something in a loud
voice, and at first I thought she was angry.  They argued back and forth.
Mika kept pointing in my direction.

   My kids came over, and I suddenly wondered if there were looking at my
wang, which was sticking up in the middle of my towel.  I tried to cover
up, and think of something else, but the vision of Mika twirling around
stark naked kept popping into my head.  Suddenly, the six counselors went
quiet, and Mika started walking this way.  What's she going to do?  Yell at
me?  She was the one who'd been walking around naked.

   As she came closer, I could see that she tied her towel too high.  There
were a few strands of her jet-black pubic hair hanging down, and when she
turned, I could see the lovely curve of her bare behind.  As she drew
closer, I shifted my eyes to her face, but she didn't seem angry at all. 
In fact, she started bowing to me apologetically.  She said something in
Japanese to the effect of 'would you like to join us,' but I was so caught
up in her body that I thought for a second she'd said 'Won't you do it with
all of us?' I just looked at her wondering if she was teasing me, but she
kept beckoning me to come over, so eventually I stood up folding my towel a
bit, so my hard-on wouldn't look so obvious.

   When Mika turned to lead me back, my eyes shot down to her ass, where
her round cheeks were peeking invitingly out from under her towel.  As she
walked, I could see this shock of dripping wet pubic hair dangling between
her legs.  I redid my towel to pin my stiff cock against my stomach.  I
hope I don't get fired for this.

   As I drew closer to the group, I raised my eyes from Mika's sweet ass to
look at the others.  They were all more careful about covering up, but I
found strangely attractive the way they were blushing and peering at me
shyly.  God, they're all so gorgeous.  Kimiko was staring at the ground
shielding her eyes with her willow-like bangs.  Chie started in.

   "Shikashi, Ken-san, karada ookii desu ne (=My, Ken, you have such a
large body)," she said touching me on the shoulder and looking me over like
I was a piece of meat.  I looked over at her, and she smiled this quizzical
little grin, that made it hard to tell exactly what she was driving at. 
Her soft fingers on my shoulder were not making it any easier for me to
lose my hard-on.  I could almost imagine her cute little fingers wrapped
tightly around my dick.  "Amerika de nani kutte iru n darou (=I wonder what
you eat in the States?).  American beef?"

   Mika and Kayo sniggered a bit, and then tried to look serious.

   "Sakki gomen nasai ne.  Ken-san ga iru to omowanakatta (=Sorry for a few
minutes ago.  I didn't realize you were here)," Mika apologized.  I looked
at her, the image of her nude body still dancing through my mind, but just
nodded trying to look serious.  I don't want to blow this here.

   Kayo leaned forward, her towel dipping to show off her cleavage.

   "Ima made wa dou desu ka?  (=What do you think of things so far?)" she
asked cheerfully.  What's that supposed to mean?  Your cleavage?  This
co-ed bath?  Mika's nude body?  I mustered up my best Japanese, and said

   "Maa ii n ja nai?  (Well, fine I guess)."

   Mika stood up on one of the large rocks, and spread out her arms
gesturing towards the river and mountains.

   "Tatoeba kono kesshiki wa dou?  Kaihouteki deshou.  (=For example, what
do you think of this scenery?  It makes you feel so free)."

   I looked in her direction, but more than the scenery, my eyes were drawn
to her ass, which was still not quite covered by her towel.  The other
girls had noticed it too, but they just looked at each other, no one
venturing to warn her.  I was becoming more and more interested in Mika:
her outgoing nature, her cheerful optimism, not to mention her thoroughly
edible body and willingness to show it to me.  All the things I look for in
a woman.

   Michiyo let out a little yelp, and we all turned to look at her.  Her
face went beet red.

   "A, gomen.  Taoru wa ochisou datta (=Sorry, my towel started to slip)."

   This little revelation combined with the embarrassed look on her cute
little face was almost more than I could take; my cock slipped free, and
poked up to form a large pyramid in the front of my towel.  Chie was the
first to notice, but she quipped,

   "Ooo!  Tento da!  (=Oh my, it's a tent)," and soon they all turned to
look.  Almost in unison, their eyes shot open wide, their mouths agape in
wonder, as I tried to get my errant willy to calm down.  The way they were
staring at me wasn't making it any easier, but luckily Mika got down,
straightened her towel, and motioned for the others to calm down.  Some of
the kids were watching us, and clearly she didn't want to have to field
questions on erections.  I was wondering more at why the other counselors
all seemed so shocked.  Were they all virgins?

   The tension lay thick in the air, till Mika started yelling at the kids
that bath time was over.  She and the others started herding them towards
their respective change rooms, and I was grateful to have the attention off
me.  We all started heading back, and my erection slowly started to fade.
Once back in the safety of the men's change room, I calmed down, and
started hurrying the boys along, but eventually they were all dressed, and
ran off for supper.

   As I came out of the change room, Mai and Kimiko were there waiting to
pick up their charges.  Their hair was still wet, and they had that
wonderful scent.  They started leading their kids away, but Mai
unexpectedly turned to me, and said,

   "Kon'ya raunji de paati wo suru kedo, Ken-san mo konai?  (=Tonight we're
having a party in the lounge.  Will you come?)"

   Even shy Kimiko looked at me expectantly.

   "Ii tomo!  (=Of course!)" I yelled out, unable to hide my pleasure at
being invited.  Yahoo!  After only having been laughed at for the last few
days, I was happy to finally have a chance to get to know them all better.
