The famous hot spring, Aone Onsen, is about 30 minutes away by car. This is a natural hot spring that opened in 1528 and is associated with the Date clan.

It has long been known as a hot spring that is effective against illnesses. Nowadays, it is gaining popularity among women as a hot spring for beautiful skin.

Normally, when you go camping, you need to prepare various things such as a tent, stakes, and solid fuel. However, at Eco Camp Michinoku, you can go empty-handed.

That's why you can rent everything from tents to everything you need for cooking. We also have set plans for rental items, so you can rent them at a great price.

Site type

There are two sites (where you can set up your tent): an auto camping site and a free tent site.

The location for setting up an auto campsite is determined from the beginning. Free tent sites allow you to pitch your tent wherever you like.

auto campsite

You can choose an auto campsite from size A to C. A is for 12 people (5,150 yen for accommodation), B is for 8 people (4,100 yen), and C is for 6 people (3,100 yen).

Site C also has pet-specific sites (8 sites). There is space for a dog run, so it is recommended for people who want to enjoy camping with their pets.

Free campsite

Free sites are cheaper (accommodation: 1,550 yen). However, good spots such as shaded areas fill up quickly, so it is not suitable for beginners.

A free site is recommended for experienced campers and large groups, but if not, an auto campsite is the safest option.

 There are also cottages

For those who don't want to pitch a tent or don't like insects, cottages are also available. There are 30 buildings in total.

You can choose from 5 types of cottages. There are barrier-free cottages, so people with disabilities can feel at ease.

All cottages have a barbecue on the terrace.

The auto campsite is particularly comfortable and recommended.

Power is on at the auto campsite. The kitchen has hot water, so it's comfortable even in the cold winter. There is a coin laundry building, so you can wash your clothes quickly.

Site A is popular for its convenient facilities.

In particular, A-class sites have a sink with hot water and a wooden table in addition to a power source. Can be used exclusively.

■Power supply

Nowadays, camping is extremely inconvenient without a power source. Do you want to charge your smartphone or tablet? It's especially interesting to fly a drone in nature.

People who bring a drone will feel safer if there is a power source, and if there is a power source, you can also use a refrigerator.

■Sink with hot water

If there is a sink with hot water in front of you, and only you can use it, you can fill up the pool with hot water and make it a heated pool. Children will be very happy.

When camping, it can be difficult to wash dishes and cooking utensils. When hot water comes out, oil stains come off much easier, so that's a big advantage.

■Large wooden table

Having a wooden table is also convenient because it doesn't wobble and doesn't require assembly. Although it is expensive, the A site is especially recommended for families with small children as it allows them to relax and grow.

There is a shop where you can buy firewood. Of course, we also sell drinks and sweets. The price is standard, so you don't have to worry about that.

For those who want to have a barbecue but don't want to take the time to prepare, you can purchase ingredients that are already cut and ready for grilling (reservations required).

When many people think of campground toilets, they have the image of smelly and unclean toilets. However, reviews say that the toilets at Eco Camp Michinoku are extremely clean.
