A safety zone for wild camping—where peace flows through the soft grass under the stars
Located in Iruta, Shimanto City, Shimanto River Campground offers a free and dependable overnight refuge for pilgrims who find themselves without lodging. Just outside the city center, it allows you to sleep peacefully under the stars even late at night. With prior notice, campers can stay free of charge, accompanied by the gentle murmur of the river. While there is no resident manager or cooking shelter, the maintained grass field, simple toilet, and drinking water provide essential safety and comfort. This simple and trustworthy space gives pilgrims exactly what they need: a night to truly rest body and soul.

Review Summary from External Sites
Visitors praise the setting with comments like “It’s very spacious and refreshing” and “So much nature.” The fact that it’s free is a major draw, with people noting, “I’m so grateful this is free. Thanks to the caretakers.” Some describe magical scenes like “The morning mist over the river was breathtaking.” On the other hand, some realistic points are noted: “There’s little shade, so a tarp is essential in summer,” and “It’s just an open grass field, so if you’re looking for that classic Shimanto River view, head upstream.” Despite these notes, the campground is widely appreciated as a “spacious and casual site where you can enjoy nature freely and for free.”
