View of the campsite

The campsite is located at the northern area of Kaita-cho Town, and it is 2 km east from National Route 2.

This park is close to Hiroshima city area, so in spring season, it is crowded with many people viewing the cherry blossoms.

There are many tent pads in the forest. Most of those are for the small solo tent.
