My Review & Impressions
The Good Points
- The panoramic view of Kikuchi City is absolutely stunning!
- Night views and sunsets were incredibly beautiful and moving.
- Flexible usage time from sunrise to sunset is a huge plus.
- The fees are very cheap and affordable.
Points to Consider
- It’s still in the pre-opening phase, so expect further improvements!
- Payment is cash only, so be sure to prepare beforehand.
Above all, the scenery was magnificent, and we enjoyed a camp full of openness. Spending time leisurely watching the beautiful sunset in the evening and the sparkling city lights at night is exceptional. The price is also very conscientious, and it's surprising to enjoy this location at this price! It was truly a wonderful campsite, just like a "Dream Land" (Yumenokuni).
Who: Family (2 Adults, 1 Elementary Student, 1 Preschooler)
Stay: 1 Night / 2 Days
Total Fee: (2 Adults x ¥1,000 + 1 Student x ¥500) = ¥2,500 Total
This price for such a spectacular view is a real bargain! Hope this helps! ( ੭˙꒳ ˙)੭
