The glamping setup makes this accessible for those new to camping or traveling without gear.
Mitsumine Shrine perches on a misty mountaintop, the 34-temple Chichibu Pilgrimage winds through the valley, and the Arakawa River cuts through dramatic Nagatoro Gorge nearby. Within the campground, visitors have access to hiking trails and fishing and visits with pets. Beyond the site boundaries, Mitsumine Shrine, Chichibu Shrine, Nagatoro Gorge, Hitsujiyama shibazakura round out a day's itinerary.
