When I went there, it was empty probably because it was under renovation.You might see different noodles if you go at a different time.

The staff are very kind and pleasant, and the food is always pleasant.You can play in the beautiful river in the park, and it is also recommended for day camping.You have to drive about 30 minutes to go to a supermarket or convenience store, so it is essential to do your shopping without going there.For management purposes, we also sell various rental items, cup noodles, ice, and other supplies, which is very helpful.There are many kitchens and hot water available.If you are coming from the Osaka area, Google Maps' navigation will direct you to National Route 477, but since this road requires driving over 10km along a fairly steep mountain road, take Prefectural Route 50 towards Kamiyoshi and Sasaki Dam. It's much easier to come from.This is a very quiet and relaxing campsite!

The power supply is very good. The bathroom is 100 yuan for 4 minutes. There is a hair dryer, shampoo and shower gel, and free toys and electric pumps for children to play with. It is the most complete campground I have ever been to. There is no place to buy medicine for evening headaches. There is also a spare at the front desk. The medicine gave me four painkillers. Thank you very much.It’s a real nice place to champion. Will back to here again.The pain stops and the pain stops.

The lawn was beautiful and easy to use, and the campsite itself was very nice.I think it's a place where you can catch sweetfish, play in the river, have BBQ, and be very satisfied even with children.I'm just using it,When I asked her to use the restroom, she got very angry. (I don't know if I made a mistake)Did I have to pay money and have a bad experience here?I felt there was a way to say it. Even though everything else was good, that old man's attitude really pissed me off.

Use at day camp 🏕️If you are going for a day trip, you can bring a tent to the riverside! ️ Tattoos that I'm not good at are okay!! ️The relatively shallow river can hold about 100 cars, and even though I used it during the middle of Obon, there was plenty of room.The customer base is 10% semi-grays, 20% college students, 20% students, 30% families that seem complicated, and 20% regular families.Conclusion Customer base is relatively bad👎However, it is still decent compared to those who use paid facilities and free facilities.There was no noticeable littering, no one was playing loud music, and there were no physical fights! ️From beginning to end, a group of semi-grays, Yakaras, students, complicated-looking families, and ordinary families were having fun barbecuing and swimming in a calm environment 👍By the way, the slope leading to the riverside parking lot is wide enough for one car to pass through, so you should pass through it before the oncoming vehicle comes along! ️If you go slowly, you'll definitely get provoked, and it's okay if you don't like being provoked, but there are no guardrails on the slope, so if you fall, your car will definitely be destroyed.Furthermore, there are people who put up tents under the slope without any sense of danger, so be even more careful⚠️Well, anything goes, but it's definitely a repeat purchase!! ️

It seems to be a popular campsite 🏕.We only checked out on a weekday after staying on a public holiday, so there was only one case!Fully booked the day before・30 kitchen equipment for 21 sites!・Beautiful shower facilities (2 each for men and women)・The restrooms are clean and wheelchair accessible ♿️The restrooms are also clean.・You can do some small shopping in the administration building.Bunkarow and day camp are also spacious!Don't worry, the manager is available to talk to you from early morning until around 10pm!They say, ``It's more beautiful than when I arrived,'' but it was so beautiful when I arrived that I don't know what to clean before I go home. Should I just pull out the weeds and go home?The water in the river has a strong current, so it might be a good idea to play with your feet instead of swimming. It's a bit impossible to swim.However, the entire city is well kept clean.

I found a cancellation on Golden Week and took advantage of it.You can check availability and cancellations on the official website and make reservations by phone only.There are two-room, one-building type, and one-room, one-building type, and this time we chose the latter.A spacious room filled with the warmth and scent of wood. BBQ is possible on the private deck. Air conditioner, kerosene stove, wood stove for large rooms? There is too. Kitchen appliances are available and the refrigerator is large enough.Good for people with no outdoor experience.The sound of the harpoon and the soothing sound of nature.All the staff are kind too.However, I gave it a ☆3 because of stink bugs and stink bugs. Insects are a natural part of being outdoors, but they are everywhere indoors, making coexistence impossible. Sorry, but it took me several hours to get rid of it.The worst part was the centipede that fell down just before I went to bed.I think it's because it's the season when insects are happy with spring...If you are not good at it, we recommend that you consider the season when using it.

I came to this campsite for a day camp with my family, so I gathered all the equipment and had a BBQ outside for the first time. Reservations are not required for day camps, but parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis, so to get the best spot, you must register at the reception building before business hours begin.The staff were kind and explained various things in detail.There is a garbage disposal site behind the reception building where you can dispose of your garbage and return home. We also have a wide selection of outdoor rental equipment and fireworks.There was a motorcycle event on that day, and there were a lot of riders in the parking lot, and I wanted to get closer to the river, but since there were other riders, I parked my car far from the river and carried multiple bikes in carrying cases to the riverbank. I carried my luggage back and forth several times.The river is clean and clear enough to see tadpoles and fish, and I don't think there are any leeches.The river is not deep and is shallow, making it ideal for families with small children.When we started the BBQ, the wind was so strong that half of the tongue fell into the sand, the tarp tent that was supposed to be supported by a weight broke from its frame, and the camp chair came into contact with the BBQ grill and partially melted, leaving a mess. …I was able to experience for myself that the power of nature can be scary.However, even if something like that happens, it's a place I personally love and want to come back to.
