There is a cafe, a guest house, and a campsite at the facility located just before entering the mountain path.It seems that you can also have a day-trip BBQ.We used the campsite.This is a small campground with only 3 sites.The location mentioned above is equipped with a kitchen, toilets, and showers, so it's perfect for beginners and campers who don't want to spend time in the mountains.However, you won't be able to play in the river or enjoy nature.It's enough to spend a relaxing time eating camp food and drinking while looking at the stars.There was a dog at another site, so it seems like a pet-friendly campsite.The neighborhood gakincho gathered in the park behind the house late at night.It wasn't that loud and it disappeared quickly, but it might be of interest to some people.The restroom is a little far away because I use the cafe's restroom, but it's clean (with a washlet)The shower is clean and has shampoo etc., but it is quite small.Even though I'm petite (162cm), I found it difficult to open and close the door.I think 300 yen is a bit high for that, so it would be better to stop by a hot spring facility to buy something or on the way home.(You can receive a discount coupon for a hot spring located about 10 minutes away by car.)The "Garden" site has no shade at all, so it can be tough in the summer.The "Jungle" site has a mountain forest behind it, so there is some shade.There is a park behind these two sites, so the light from the street lights shines in at night, which can be a bit of a hindrance to seeing the stars.The "Maron" site is a little uphill and has a mountain forest behind it, so it's probably the best place to see the stars.Each site is a convenient size that can accommodate a 3-4 person tent + tarp.The ground is neither too hard nor too soft, making it easy to set up.The staff were kind and friendly.I saw a certain YouTuber receive a handmade wood chopping table and a Swedish torch.Both came out normally without me asking anything lolI also had watermelon, which was very cold and delicious.I would like to use it again when I go camping or stop by a cafe while driving.

I used it for a day BBQ.The surroundings were quiet and we had a relaxing time in the open space.Both the guest house and cafe had a good balance of fashion and retro feel, and I really liked the atmosphere.The owner is also bright and easy to talk to! It felt like I was talking to a friend.
