A safe retreat in the forest by a clear stream—comfort for walking pilgrims
Nestled deep in the mountains of Hata, Mihara Campground offers quiet refuge for walking pilgrims seeking a safe place to sleep outdoors. Located alongside the pristine Shimono-Kae River, this free, year-round open campsite is a valuable option for those on foot. Facilities include toilets, a changing room, running water, and even cold showers—just enough to refresh a weary body. A large fire circle, placed where forest meets river, invites quiet contemplation and gentle restoration. No check-in is required, which is a welcome relief for those exhausted by a long day’s walk. In this remote, natural setting, one finds the peace of mind that says: “I can walk again tomorrow.”
