I stopped by on my journey from Hokuriku through the Tenryu River in Golden Week 24. It was fully booked, but when I stopped by, I was told there was a check-out group, so I had to wait. As a result, I was able to pitch my tent in a good location and enjoy solo camping. If you are camping with children on the riverbank instead of in a cabin where the toilet is above the riverbank, use the toilet early! I wanted to spend 2 nights relaxing without the hassle of Kawano, but I ended up staying 1 night because I had to move. thank you very much.

I was planning to head to the free campsite after seeing Shimoguri no Sato, but it was further away than I expected...There was a signboard, so I tried to check in for free, but I was out until 5pm...(^_^;)There was a cell phone number written on it, so I called and they happily agreed.*From what I hear, it seems like this is a campsite that requires reservations.Free site 1000 yen per night [weekdays complete solo]Water supply [drinkable] Toilet [Flush] Coin shower [100 yen for 3 minutes]Well managed!Although it was late, I was shown inside the administration building, where you can buy frozen game, frozen offal, souvenirs, camping supplies, and food that you can eat around here.Purchase a small souvenir from Nagano Prefecture as a souvenir!It seems that you can also play in the river in front of your eyes.The manager was kind and it was a great campsite. I would like to visit again someday \(^o^)/Chubu region wandering bike trip 2024

Local people used to enjoy bathing in the water in the summer, but suddenly it was closed to anyone other than hotel guests. It's a public place, right? Swimming at famous beaches is free. Local revitalization cooperation teams were permanently stationed at the waterside, and local people were no longer able to casually go for a bath. The entire salary of the Regional Revitalization Cooperation Volunteers is covered by national taxes. I want you to take it easy.

It's a great place with the river next to it. In the past, you could get a spot on a first-come, first-served basis, but now you make a reservation and park your car next to the shop on a first-come-first-served basis. A system that guides people to the campsite and then waits there and then lets them go wherever they want around 11 o'clock Moreover, if tents, tarps, etc. can only be erected after 13 o'clock, the administrator's time is wasted.

My family and I used it on weekdays after Obon.Since there were only 5 groups using it, we were able to secure a good spot with a clear view towards the river.The Wajino River has high transparency, depth, and flow, making it a good place for elementary school students to play.The attached cafe and shop were well stocked, and the staff were very helpful.The toilet smelled a little when I approached it, but the inside was kept very clean and I was able to use it without stress.Overall, it was a great experience, but the access was poor and the children had to drive for a long time on rough mountain roads, which made it difficult for the children.I would like to repeat if access to Sanen Nanshin improves.

The camping site next to the river is very cool. The entrance is quite difficult. From Nagoya, if you follow Route 151 and turn to Route 430, you will have to go about 7km of narrow, winding mountain road to reach the campsite.
