A Reliable Resting Base Overlooking the Sea for Pilgrims on Foot
During long pilgrimages when no lodging is available, Nanreku Auto Campground offers a safe and comfortable alternative. Located on a hill overlooking Hokudan Bay, this site offers 24-hour on-site staff and locked gates at night for added security. With hot showers, warm-water bidet toilets, washing and drying machines, it allows weary travelers to fully refresh after a long day. Cooking areas and clean water supply support self-catering needs, and both powered individual campsites and unpowered free sites are available. With reliable facilities and security, this is not just an open-air spot—it’s a “safety net” for pilgrims seeking real rest beyond simple wild camping.

Visitors frequently share open-air experiences like, “BBQ while feeling the sea breeze,” and “It was amazing to fall asleep under the stars.”
Families especially appreciate the well-maintained environment: “Our kids loved the swings and Tarzan rope near the management building,” and “The trees and well-spaced plots made setting up ropes easy.”
Some users note, “Popular site, so campsites can be close together and visibility between them may be an issue,” but overall, the campground is praised as “a well-equipped site with sea views, fresh air, and stargazing—a comfortable stay for everyone.”
