Thank you for taking care of me at a camp during my pilgrimage.There aren't many good campgrounds nearby, which was a great help. At the time of our stay, it was used by riders, bicycle travelers, and locals.It was well maintained and nice ♪I would like to visit again.Thank you (^ω^)

The manager was very kind. There is a form to fill out(clipped outside the office building), but the site is free. There is a kitchen, many picnic tables, benches, and seating areas. There is a toilet house with lighting at night. No showers, but an outdoor spigot and the kitchen sinks are large. I was able to shampoo my hair. I have been on the pilgrimage for over a month and this is one of the best campsites I've seen on Shikoku. I am surprised it is free to the public. It is better than many paid sites I've visited. I camped on a weekday and it was very quiet and peaceful. What a blessing this community provides to the people!

This campground was a great help as the place we had originally planned to stay was not available. This free facility was amazing.

I used it on a bicycle trip from Tokushima to Shimanami Kaido. You can use it for free by simply filling out a single application form. Perhaps because it was a weekday, the place was reserved. It's so well maintained that you can't believe it's free. The signal is weak. Wild animals come out at night (I had left a garbage bag in the front room of my tent, but it was stolen from the small opening at the bottom during the night and destroyed.)
