Kochi is surrounded by nature, with easy access to mountains, rivers, and the ocean. It is also blessed with a mild climate via the Kuroshio Current, so it has many camping grounds.
There are many types to choose from, such as camping and caravan grounds where you can conveniently drive to the site, campsites with bungalows and cabins, campsites with nearby hot springs, and sites where you can set your tent up right near the clear waters of the river. Some campgrounds provide facilities, such as restrooms and showers, and rent out camping gear that lets overseas campers enjoy the experience with ease.
In areas near the ocean you can also enjoy breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean, as well as marine sports, such as fishing and diving. You can also feast on a barbecue of freshly caught seafood. Areas near the Shimanto and Niyodo Rivers allow you to fully enjoy Japan’s most beautiful rivers with activities such as rafting and canoeing. Additionally, camping grounds in mountainous inland areas are often on high ground, where you can easily enjoy the four seasons and the starry night skies.
Choose the area that best suits your style to enjoy the unique camping grounds, abundant nature, bountiful local foods, various activities, and changing seasons of Kochi.
