Next to Yanben Bailin Park, there is a campsite "Yamaterasu -FUJIWARA OUTDOOR LIVING-" where you can see plum blossoms in full bloom in spring and snowy scenery in winter.

Mt. Fuji Camp

This is one of the photos when I went camping at the "Fumoto Exclusively Campsite" in Shizuoka Prefecture. It was the first time I had seen Mt. Fuji so close, and I couldn't help but take this photo because of its magnificence. Camping in this scenery was awesome.

★ The 15th COOL JAPAN VIDEOS Photo Contest is currently being ★ held under the theme of "Recommended Japanese Sightseeing Spots in 2023" We're looking forward to seeing everyone's wonderful submissions! This time, we will introduce the post of "Nuko ́ー'"! The gradation of the sunset is one of the superb views. An auto campsite located on the shore of a lake in Lake Takkobu Takkobuko in eastern Hokkaido. In addition to camping sites, you can also enjoy barbecues, bicycle rentals, and rental canoes. ◆Takkobu Auto Campsite◆ 【Address】 〒088-2141 Hokkaido Kushiro DistrictKushiro Town Tatsukotake 65-2 【Phone number】0154-40-4448 Please check the official website for details.

This photo was taken when I was camping in a Takkobu Auto Campsite in Hokkaido Kushiro DistrictKushiro Town. Kushiro is a city with beautiful sunsets that is counted as one of the three best sunsets in the world. I took a picture of my son looking up at the sunset created by such a sunset.

Introducing the photos posted on "Everyone's Post"! This is a pickup post of the inbound tourism information SNS "Cool Japan Video". Today, I would like to introduce Mr. Tackle's post "Mt. Fuji from the campsite exclusively at the foot". It is a powerful photo that you can feel even the surface of Mt. Fuji. "Fumoto Soura" is located at the foot of Fujinomiya City, Shizuoka Prefecture in the Tokai region, and is a campsite where you can overlook Mt. Fuji. The reason for its popularity is the free site where you can drive right next to the tent in the vast grounds. Even if you do not have a tent, you can rest assured that there are accommodations such as cottages. Recently, it has become a hot topic as a sacred place for the popular anime "Yuru Can△". The campsite is only equipped with shower facilities, so if you want to take a bath, we recommend using the nearby hot spring facilities. ・Asagiri Onsen Kaze no Yu It is the closest to the campsite and you can also enjoy vanadium hot springs and meals. You can also use the bedrock bath free of charge. ・Tenmu no Yu It is a popular hot bath facility for returning from climbing Mt. Fuji and camping guests. The admission fee is as low as 400 yen for adults, and you can enjoy the medicated bath, cypress bath, and low-temperature sauna. Use of the campsite exclusively at the foot is by appointment only. You need to make a reservation on a specific date from the reservation form on the official website. It seems that it is difficult to make a reservation on consecutive holidays, but it seems that it is relatively easy to make a reservation on weekdays. ◆Exclusive campsite◆ 【Address】〒418-0109 Shizuoka Prefecture Fujinomiya City Roku 156 【Access】 ・Car Shin-Tomei Expressway Get off at Shin-Fuji IC and get off for about 35 minutes. ・Train Get off at JR Shin-Fuji Station, take the bus bound for Fuji 5th Station, get off at Asagiri Green Park stop, and walk 20 minutes
