Use a bungalow. A beautiful bungalow. There is electricity and outlets. The toilets are also clean. There is also a shower. The grounds are well managed and beautiful. The usage fee is only 4000 yen. Recommended from the nearby Togakushi campsite. There are two points of concern. Smartphone signal is weak. Access to the facility is a little difficult.

R5.10.6 Night temperature is 10 degrees.The bungalow (4,000 yen per night) is comfortable, with an outlet and pets (dogs) allowed.Smartphones have poor reception and are useless. You will need a pocket radio and a fall/winter sleeping bag.

Use of bungalow.・The signal environment near the bungalow is extremely poor.・There are few private toilet rooms in the northeast.-The road to the bungalow area is not clear, so some free campers set up on the road. Although we are careful, it is awkward for both of us.

Stayed in a bungalow.You can climb up to the campsite from two directions, but both are narrow roads with steep inclines and sharp curves, so be careful.The day we stayed, it was a day of heavy rain and strong winds, so staying in a bungalow was a great decision.There is also one AC power source, and the price of 4,000 yen/room is a bargain. You can also park your car nearby. (Some parts are muddy, so it might be best not to push your 2WD)Garbage is not collected and you must take it home with you. Don't litter.Another happy miscalculation was that the toilet had a Western-style flush and was clean.The cheapest place in the mountains like this is usually Botton...Is it safe for children and women?However, the bungalow itself is not that large (imagine a mountain shelter), so I felt that the appropriate number of people was up to 3 adults.Also, there is almost no cell phone signal inside the campsite. Even if it is connected, it is still possible to send and receive text (confirmed with Softbank and Rakuten Mobile (also au roaming))You can also use the shower for 200 yen, but there are no soaps or towels, and the shower room is just a roof and enclosure, so it's better to use a public bath in the Myoko area. Well, price is price.

I wonder if it's an iris flower 🌷. It was blooming very beautifully. When the weather is clear, there is a concrete tower, and it's a great place to see all the way to the Sea of ​​Japan❗️

2022/5/21Bungalow information!☆Price/4000 yen (1 building)☆Pets/OK (free)☆Hanger/Yes(4)☆Shelf/upper and lower tiers☆Outlet/Yes☆Screen door/Yes☆Curtain/None☆This day☆After wearing a raincoat and enjoying bracken harvesting all day, check in after 4pm.The one I was guided to was number 2.Of course, cars are parked nearby.It was a great decision to suddenly change from staying in a tent to a bungalow!Quite heavy rain at nightAfter all, the prices are reasonable, and you can even accommodate your dog."Caterpillar" which was also written in other people's reviewsI’m here! I’m here!There were also several yellow ones with lots of hair on the entrance door!After all, there's a big tree over the top of the bungalow, so it's like having a caterpillar's house on top of it, so it might not be a good idea to do it this time of year.Be careful when opening the sliding door!The shelves inside the bungalow are clever, with the upper shelf allowing you to dry wet clothes with hangers, and the lower shelf perfect for storing valuables.Unfortunately, there were no curtains, so even though it was smokey, it was too bright when the sun rose in the morning.There is an outlet so it is convenient to bring your hair dryer.It would be even better if there was a mirror installed!The shower room next to the administration building is certainly similar to the one at the beach house.It's funny to think that there is a shower room in a beach house on top of a mountain. Is it wild?The hot water from the shower is lukewarm, so it might be a little hot on cold days.In the middle of the night, the rain sounded like drums pounding on the tin roof of the bungalow, it was so noisy!I couldn't sleep(It's a good idea to bring earplugs on rainy days)Even considering everything, the bungalow was too luxurious for us!

The best place to pick wild vegetables in spring. I think it's a good place for camping with a small group.

Visited in mid-May.There were some small caterpillars, but even I, who hate insects, could tolerate them.I was grateful that the lights were on in both the kitchen and toilets throughout the night.The toilets were clean and had no smells or bugs.The bungalow also had a light bulb and one electrical outlet.The windows and entrance had screens, the floor was hardwood, and there was a shelf on the wall where you could put lanterns, etc., so it was a comfortable stay.I gave it 4 stars because I haven't experienced summer.

We rented a bungalow on a weekday in October for two nights. It was empty.The bungalow is clean and comfortable, with screens on the windows and entrance, and two windows for good ventilation. There is one 100V outlet, Akiaki. The floor is hardwood. There are two shelves in the back.The surrounding area was spacious, so we drove in and had a barbecue with two burners at night.The Torisaka Castle ruins are along the ridge, and I took a walk with Shiba-chan and his friends, enjoying the beautiful view. It was an adventure of about 1km.We also went to the Joetsu coast and enjoyed fishing and taking a day trip to Unohama Onsen.Next time, I would like to use a flat auto tent site.
