Hello.
I’m Ageo and I live in Tokyo!
Here’s my solo camping record!
💰Budget 10,000 yen！
(transportation not included)
90 minutes from Tokyo by car🚗!
I went to Niko Niko Campsite
in Kasama City, Ibaraki Prefecture!
You can see the whole city
from the mountain.
It’s the campsite with a great view!
The entrance is too narrow
so you can’ t get a big car in there!
The nearest IC is
Iwama IC on Joban Expressway!
But I got off at Iwaoka-Omitama IC
on Joban Expressway!
I recommend traveling
fromTokyo to Ibaraki
because there’s less traffic!
I went to a public bath
on the way to and from the campsite.
There’s a timeline for the trip
at the end of this post!
→Less traffic between Tokyo and Ibaraki.
●The campsite has a great view! 🙆
→You can see the whole city!
●Baths weren’t crowded😏
→I took baths both ways!
Tokyo – Iwaoka Komitama IC
The closest IC to the campground is Iwama IC,
but I got off at Iwaoka Komitama IC.
Iwaoka-Komitama IC is
a Smart IC
So, you have to use ETC!
when using the expressway.In Japan, you have to pay for all highways.For foreigners,
there is a plan for unlimited use of ETC.↓Click on the link below to learn how to use it.

It takes about 90 minutes
from Tokyo to the campground by car.

because of the low traffic volume.

Large vehicles can’ t enter!
About 20 minutes

【Be careful not to get lost!】
The entrance is narrow,
so it’s not easy to find.

You will pass in front of the golf course.
Then you will see a sign on your right.
The entrance is across from this sign.
