A safe coastal retreat embraced by sea and pine forest—your extra night’s rest on foot
Located next to the “Bios Ōgata” roadside station in Kuroshio Town, Irino Matsubara Campground is a reliable safety net for pilgrims who unexpectedly find themselves without lodging. The 34 well-priced sites each offer a parking spot and fire pit, while facilities such as a cooking area, flush toilets, and cold showers (paid) are in place to support walkers carrying heavy packs. (The restroom and shower building will be renewed in April 2025.) Surrounded by peaceful pine groves that overlook the crashing waves, the campground offers a tranquil place to care for your tired body and reset your mind. It’s a place where walking pilgrims can rest safely for “just one more night” before moving on.
