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.

If you missed bringing kitchen utensils and charcoal to grill your food. Worry no more cause inside the camp they already prepared the things you probably need. 

 

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.
