Camping in a national park in Japan-Panergy

Camping is a great way to explore the various natural landscapes of Japan's national parks. Whether it's a tent, an RV, a mountain cabin or a beach camp, everyone can find a camping style they like.

From beaches and forests to high-altitude mountains and lakesides, Japan's national parks have camping areas planned on all kinds of terrain, and some campsites even have scenic hot springs nearby, so who says camping isn't comfortable and relaxing? If you camp on one of Japan's subtropical islands, you can see turtles on the shore as soon as you peek out of your tent on the beach early in the morning. Family-friendly campsites have outdoor activities that children can participate in, such as mountain biking or walking along moderately difficult trails.
Self-drive camping
If you can rent a car, driving to the campsite is a good option, and the Japanese call this type of camping "car camping. This is particularly convenient in national parks where public transportation is limited. You can arrange your trip freely by car and stay in a hotel or traditional Japanese inn halfway.

Camping Costs
The cost of camping depends on the type of accommodation. Prices vary depending on whether you bring your own tent, camp by car, rent a cabin, or stay in a mountain hut. Many campgrounds rent tents (about 2,000 yen) or provide fixed tents on the site. In general, towns near outdoor resorts have stores that specialize in renting camping equipment such as sleeping bags and stoves. Campgrounds also usually have a selection of cabins and bungalows. Many campgrounds will charge a site use fee and then an additional fee based on the number of people. If you drive to the campsite and park your vehicle on the site, the fees are often higher.
