A reliable base for walking pilgrims, rooted in the grassy seaside.
Located near the pilgrimage trail and Kotohiki Park, Kan’onji Family Campground is a secure option for spending the night by the sea. With a grassy-sandy surface, the free campsite accommodates around 35 tents and includes cooking facilities, flush toilets, and foot-washing areas. While reservations are recommended a day in advance, same-day registration may be accepted during busy seasons. There’s no electricity or Wi-Fi, making it a place focused purely on “quiet rest.” It’s a dependable spot for walking pilgrims to use in place of wild camping, offering a rare combination of “safety,” “cleanliness,” and “peace and quiet.”

Many reviews highlight how campers enjoyed both camping and the beach, with comments like “Great place to enjoy the sea” and “Nice that we could enjoy both camping and swimming.” Facilities are described as clean and family-friendly, making it a popular and reassuring site for groups with children. While some users note that there’s little shade—“Sunscreen is a must due to strong sun exposure”—the overall feedback paints the campground as a seaside location where people can fully enjoy nature and spend quality time as a family.
