Accommodation Directory - Campsites (official)
Official Campsites – what does the price include? Very much a case by case issue, as is price itself. Can be per tent, or per car, or per person – or any combo of the above. My advice is hit under par, OK? As with everywhere else in Japan, can be fully booked in high-season. Remember you don't want to look inadequate out there, so take the kitchen sink just in case? At least take the mossie repellent & a lighter!

| Extortionately priced. Great location atop the hill behind Asama though. Masochists on bikes will enjoy the ride up. Around the lake you'll find a number of optimistic fisherfolk. Lovely shrine on the far-side from the damn. | ||||

| This campsite is popular among foreign travelers because it's listed in the guidebook "Lonely Planet." However, their web page is only in Japanese and no one in their office speaks English. There are many choices to be made at the campsite: tent space runs at Y700 per person and can accommodate 300 tents; rental tents run Y3500 for two or three persons with a Japanese futon set for an additional Y650 or just the blanket for Y200; a bungalow without a toilet or water is Y6000 for two; a cabin runs Y9500. The tenting area doesn't fill up even in peak season, but the other options might fill up on weekends in summer. | ||||
