Two families from Osaka (4 adults, 2 children, and 2 infants) rented a cottage and a campsite and stayed for 2 nights each.I went there expecting to see a starry sky just like the rumors had said, but unfortunately it was raining so I wasn't completely satisfied. Of course, this has nothing to do with the evaluation.However, in the name of the trendy SDGs, you can't just throw away your garbage and go home at this campsite...If you have a family of 8 people and stay for 2 nights, you'll generate a lot of trash, right? Moreover, there are a lot of diapers for two infants...At the time of checkout, I consulted with the female staff at Mushroom Cut, but the response was routine and she did not help me. Of course, it's a rule, so I understand it. However, we stayed for a total of 4 nights at 2 sites. I would like them to at least consider measures such as having to take away their trash even if it means paying an extra fee.We said, ``Are you saying we should load up this garbage and go back to Osaka?''Staff: “I’m also from Kansai.”I haven't heard it lol, this boring conversation...The conversation became a lively topic in the car on the way home lolSDGs...I won't deny it because of the way the world goes. However, since the facility is operated for a fee, I think it should be included in the expenses.

I went on a hot day, but since it's at a high altitude, it was nice to stay cool even in the sun. But during the day, it's comfortable with a tarp. The weather forecast was for 90% rain, but we only had a few drizzles. I wish I had a hammock for the first time when the air was clear and the wind was nice! I thought.There were many sinks, toilets, and wash basins in the kitchen, and I never had to wait.There are a number of women's toilets, both Western and Japanese, and only one of the Western-style toilets had a washlet.Each site is spacious and spacious.There were a lot of families there, but I didn't find it too noisy.There is a rule that says to be quiet after 10 o'clock, and it was one of the later campgrounds I've been to so far, so I was able to enjoy the night for a long time.I want to go again!

Thank you for staying with us for 2 nights and 3 days during Obon.It wasn't too hot during the day as long as there was a breeze in the shade, and it was cool in the evening and night, and chilly at dawn.I read through reviews that the staff were not very responsive, but everyone was kind and I never had a bad experience.In the evening, he came on patrol, gave us guidance on evening etiquette, and asked if there was anything inconvenient.The toilet, kitchen, and washroom were also clean, but the only thing that bothered me was the shower curtain.However, many of the people who came did not have good manners, even though it was a busy time.Even after 10:30 p.m., not only the children but also the parents are noisy, and on the other hand, in the morning, they start moving around 5:30, and if that's all I'm willing to put up with, but the car's sliding door keeps opening and closing and it's beeping...There was no place to contact me, so I thought it would be nice if someone would come around at least once a night.It was a very good campsite, so I would like to visit again ☆

Although we were camping at an altitude of 1200m in the middle of summer, the nights were chilly and comfortable. 360 degree starry sky at night

I used a free site on a sunny day in mid-July. At an altitude of 1200m, it's 37 degrees in the city and 25 degrees here. The free site is a large grassy area with no trees, so a tarp is required. When you are in the shade of a tree, you will get a cool breeze, which will keep you cool and comfortable, but we recommend TC material, which has high light blocking properties. The campsite is of a fairly high standard, with shutters, a hot water kitchen, restrooms, and carefully maintained lawns, making it very comfortable. Our motto is to ensure that all campers have a comfortable stay, and we have thoroughly followed the precautions, making it ideal for family camping.

I have stayed for more than 10 nights on a free site.The campground is located at the top of the mountain, about 1200m above sea level, so nights are cool even in summer. Because it is on a plateau, you can see the low clouds right next to you, and the view of the sky during the day is good, and of course the starry sky is wonderful at night. Nearby is Achi Village, which is famous for stargazing, but since it's further into the mountains from there, there's no way it's not beautiful.The restrooms and kitchens are very clean and there are a lot of them, so I think it's very good for beginners and families.The surrounding promenade is also a good distance, so it is recommended that you can feel nature with all five senses.The children's play equipment (simple athletics) and roller slides are a bit outdated, but the children's play equipment in front of the administration building can be played without any problems.The problem is that there are no places nearby where you can shop, so you just have to prepare well in advance.There is no expressway access, so it takes some time to get there from any area, but it's not so crowded that it gets uncomfortable.There is also a good campsite for solo travelers nearby, so I feel like being able to separate the areas makes for a more comfortable stay.

In early July, the altitude is high and it's cool.I also chose it this time because I wanted to see the stars.In13:00~out12:00 is also good.Pets allowedI used Site B, which had power, for two nights.The site is also beautiful. The facilities are also clean.There is hot water in the kitchen.Showers are also 100 yen for 3 minutes.Kitchen with toilet and shower facilitiesI thought it was quite convenient.There is a repeater so you can receive cell phone signals.Bathing facilities are approximately 15 minutes by car.There are no supermarkets nearby, so I have to buy some food.Please take your trash home with you.Open flames are prohibited. Ash dumping area availableThere was a free iron plate in the kitchen, so I borrowed it.If you want to see the stars, we recommend a free site with open skies.By the way, pets are not allowed in the free space.The staff are also kind.It gets a little hot when the sun is strong, butIt is very cool in the shade or under a tarp as the wind passes through.The dog also stayed cool and comfortable.I would like to understand again.

We went camping on Tanabata on July 7, 2024. We chose site A, and it was a clear day with a new moon, so we were able to see a wonderful starry sky. We were also able to see shooting stars. The wind was weak and coming from the west, so we were able to camp without any problems. The site was grassy, ​​​​and it got wet at night, so please be careful not to get the bottom of your tent or your clothes wet. The toilets were very clean, with washlets, and you could use hot water in the kitchen. It might be better to have an extension cord for the power source. There is a building with a hair dryer in the shower room, so please check it out. It is quite difficult to buy things on the way. However, it is about a 20-minute drive away, and a new Lawson is opening.2024.7.7 We went camping on Tanabata.
