I say it clearly!Please do not go here if you have spiritual powers!This is a famous place for suicide!Taking pictures just for fun is not recommended!He committed suicide by hanging himself on a covered bench and a lone pine tree at the campsite...And bear sightings...

It's a pretty hard road. It's quite difficult on a large bike. There was a long gravel road. I made it there, but I don't think I'll ever go there again by bike.The atmosphere is also scary.

I guess it's for people who don't like crowded campgrounds.There are cherry blossom trees and benches here and there.Someone who prefers walking in the park rather than camping? Mochihora.During the 5/2 Golden Week, I was the only other person camping solo.There is running water and a toilet.The toilets are relatively clean, but there are dead insects, so people who don't like them may not like them.The auto site is flat. There are puddles here and there, but the drainage is not bad. There are also cherry blossom trees, and it looks great when they're in full bloom.Free sites are often sloped.There are fallen branches and dried bamboo that can be used as fuel.Pine cones are also falling.Fallen branches do not easily catch fire after rain, but dry bamboo will.It is rare to find dry bamboo at a campsite. Burn as much as you want.Surrounded by tall trees, the wind is relatively calm.It was a rainy day on the way to the camp, but the gravel was spread out so I was able to get up there without getting muddy. Even a regular car can go up at all.

This place is crazy.As others have written, it is very difficult to get to the campsite.If you're a woman, I think it's better not to climb. The campsite is creepy...We recommend walking up here during the cherry blossom season.It's a good course for a walk.I don't recommend driving or camping, so two stars.

It's more of an old-fashioned encampment than a campsite.It's a narrow, rough road with a steep slope that makes it impossible to pass each other without using a shelter, so it's quite difficult to ride on two wheels unless you have a off-road vehicle or a Cub. 4-wheelers are also quite difficult unless you are in the light or small car class.The campsite is located at the top of the park, so there is a walking path, and the toilets, kitchen, and gazebo are kept to a minimum.(On the day I went, two light trucks from the city were doing light work.)There are two or three spots where you can pitch your tent that are not sloped. And that's just the tent space for a small number of people.However, there are only a few people who come up for a walk and not many people come by car, so you can use the parking lot.However, the bottom of the grass is hard, so there are some places where the pegs won't stick, so if the pegs are soft, they will bend or break. Water drainage is also poor.Fires are generally handled in the kitchen.If you have the proper equipment and can clean up after yourself, you may be able to light a bonfire. (There were traces of an open fire in the gravel area)The roadside station is just below. There is a hot spring, so you can set up your tent and come down to eat and take a bath.Of course, since it's a mountain, there are a lot of insects.There's no lighting.Although it is rare, there are also visits from bears.It's like a modern hotel with no roof or walls.It is definitely not suitable for people who only like campgrounds in name.The town time signal rings at 6:00 and 9:00 p.m., but it doesn't bother you as the birds start chirping cheerfully in the morning when it gets bright.It is best not to use it unless you are really used to camping.Of course, please take your trash and burnt wood ash home with you.

A campsite located higher up in Kimimimachizaka Park on a small mountain. The road is only suitable for one car, and you have to go up a very steep winding slope, and the road near the campsite has no guardrails, so if you miss a step, you're out on a slope. Perhaps due to drainage, there are steps at regular intervals, which makes running more difficult. To be honest, it's best not to drive into the campsite.You can safely park your car in the parking lot with a restroom in front of the campsite and walk from there. Although it is a little far, you can see beautiful scenery that is too scary to see while driving, and there is also a couple of rock formations along the way.It will be difficult to transport, but since it is such a place, its lack of popularity is understandable. It might be the perfect place for a quiet solo camp. There is a kitchen and toilet, but don't expect it to be clean.There are quite a few pine trees growing in the camping area, so it seems like you can sleep in a hammock.

The world heritage Shirakami mountain range to the north and the majestic flow of the Yoneshiro River to the south. There are fewer people using it, so you can enjoy it privately.
