Many appreciate the affordability, with comments like “600 yen per night with your own tent—such great value.” Reviewers share moments like “I had a blast catching fish in the river,” and “The forest bathing was deeply healing,” revealing how much the natural setting is enjoyed. Others point out the practical aspects: “It was helpful to pitch a tent freely in the woods,” and “Being open all year makes it convenient for pilgrims.” While few mentions are made of facilities, the campground is widely valued for its natural beauty and budget-friendly access.
I was soothed by the beautiful environment surrounded by the clear waters of the Ayukui River and lush mountains. The handmade atmosphere was warm and I was glad that I could use the tent sites freely. It is open all year round, making it a convenient rest area for pilgrims. It was a wonderful place to heal both body and mind.
