Arrival/Set-up
Arrived at Kouan campsite.
Lake Motosu and Mt. Fuji. When you see this view, you will feel that you have come to the Kouan campsite.
This time we set up a tent at a forest site.
If the forest site is not crowded, you can park your car next to your tent, which is convenient if conditions are right.
Sunbeams filtering through the trees, and Lake Motosu and Mt. Fuji peeking out beyond.
Kouan Campsite is famous for its lakeside site, but the forest site is also recommended as it has a nice atmosphere.
It may snow
Late March is spring, but because Lake Motosu is at a high altitude, it can sometimes snow. This time, it snowed the day before our visit, so there was snow on the site.
Lakeside site
Let’s go to the lakeside site.
The lakeside site is open and the scenery is outstanding.

30 minutes by car from Kouan Campsite. It may take some time, but this is the nearest hot spring facility to the Kouan campsite.
Local vegetables and souvenirs are sold in the lobby.
Sightseeing in Minobu Town
After taking a refreshing dip in the hot springs, I went sightseeing around Minobu Town. It’s nice to spend your time at a campsite, but there are many wonderful sightseeing spots in Minobu Town, the sacred place of Laid-Back Camp, so be sure to visit them.
Evening campsite
Kouan campsite around 5:00 p.m.
The view of Mt. Fuji from this campsite is very beautiful.
The lakeside site in the evening has a nice atmosphere.
The temperature at 6:00 pm was 6°C. Kouan campsite is located at an altitude of 900m. Please be careful as the temperature is low.
Night campsite
The Kouan campsite is very quiet at night. The people who spend their time here respect good manners and no one makes a fuss.
The wind at the forest site is weaker than at the lakeside site, so the bonfire will be more stable.
Sunrise and morning coffee
If you stay at Kouan Campsite, we recommend watching the sunrise. The sight of Lake Motosu and Mt. Fuji gradually becoming brighter is a fantastic sight.
After watching the sunrise, enjoy your morning coffee.
Mt. Fuji, hazy in the morning mist, looks very fantastic.
