SPOT
Sakuragaoka Forest Park/RECAMP Mashu (campsite)
A park with a campground where you can also enjoy forest walks
This park is located on a small hill near the city center. There is a large grassy area within the park, and the kitchen building next to it is equipped with a BBQ grill, which is crowded with people enjoying yakiniku on weekends. The large park also contains a forest inhabited by wild birds, so you can enjoy a proper walk while enjoying forest bathing. As the park's name suggests, the cherry blossoms in spring and the autumn leaves are particularly spectacular. A cross-country skiing course is also set up in winter, allowing you to experience the beauty of each season.
[RECAMP Mashu (campsite)]
There is a wide variety of sites, from free sites with soft grass areas to private car sites with power outlets. In recent years, the toilets have been changed to heated toilet seats and clean, handmade kitchens have been built to maintain a comfortable space. Locals often drop by on their walks, so you might even make some friends! There is a roadside station with a direct sales store and bathing facilities nearby, as well as a walking path where you can observe wild birds. Why not enjoy a cup of coffee at the "Osanpo Café"? Although it is a famous cherry blossom spot, it is open in winter, so you can also camp in the snow.
