GPS/navigator will take the shortest route, if your phone is downloaded the app "Google Maps" or "Apple Maps",
If OS is Android, "iphone" or "android" either one is fine.
If OS is iOS, "iphone" is launch the Apple Maps and, "android" is launch the Google Maps.
You can find out about campsite detail information here.
The information on this page is when I had researched.
I introduce just my personal opinion, so it may be wrong.
Please understand that the information at that time may have changed.
There are many free campsites in Japan. If you will camp in Japan, in most cases you have to reserve and get permission for use the campsite.
The campsites is crowded on the weekend and holiday. So you should better to reserve the campsite beforehand.
Please enjoy camping in Japan!

The campsite is located at the foot of Otsuchi-yama mountain that is 6 km southeast from the center of Aki takata city in a straight line distance. The way to the campsite is a winding path, so it takes about 30 minutes to go there by a car.
The first tent site is used as a parking lot, so you can set up a tent beside your vehicle.
The road in front of the campsite is little traffic, so even during the daytime, it is very quiet. And please beware of bears.
The sink is made of concrete and painted green. The water didn't come out from the faucet.
" Don't drink raw water ", the sign was being posted. It seems the water is from the mountain stream.
There is a campfire circle at the side of the parking lot.
Around of the campfire circle is covered by beautiful lawn, so it is suitable for little solo tent to set up.
It is a pit toilet, but it had been cleaned up by administrator.
And also, there is another restroom by the lake.
In the second tent site, there is a gazebo near the cooking facility.
It has a table and bench, so if you set up your tent near there, it will be so useful.
And the gazebo has no wall, but there is in the forest, so it is protected from a strong wind.
The first tent site is 300m south from the second tent site.
That has a fine lake view, but you can not set up a tent beside your vehicle. It is quiet place, so I recommend for those who like respecting privacy of a camping.
And also, there is a water facility. I don't know the water come out.
