It’s summertime again and today we are heading to Okutama camping site. Hikawa Camping Site of Okutama is one of many tourist destinations in Tokyo during summer. Whether you seek an overnight stay to unwind or a rejuvenating riverside retreat, this destination has it all.
Last Saturday, our friend invited us to go camping nearby since we are all bored in the City and it’s a long weekend. Traveling along with my friends’ family makes me enjoy the rest of the road trip. The road trip itself became a source of joy, with picturesque landscapes unfolding before our eyes—a tapestry of ancient houses, verdant mountains, and architectural marvels in the form of bridges and tunnels.
1. You may cook or grill in front of your tent.
2. You may go fishing.
3. Never miss diving into the river. It’s a perfect getaway to combat the scorching summer heat.
3. Unleash your inner photographer as you capture the moments of serenity and natural beauty.
4. When the day surrenders to the night, savor a tranquil evening accompanied by the mellow indulgence of a cold beer.

Overall, I really enjoyed my stay here. It would be perfect if we spent the night. To be honest, it is my first time camping here in Japan and it already set the bar high. The nature and their accommodation make me wanna go back again next year.
