Suigen no Mori completely separates check-in and check-out times to avoid cars passing each other on the narrow road from the national highway to the campsite.
The mountain road to the on-site parking lot is narrow, so please strictly adhere to check-in and check-out times.
The route to the on-site parking lot was as shown above, but it was only wide enough for one car to pass.
There were some shoulders where passing was possible, but there were very few points, and the narrow, winding, and steep road made it difficult to pass. It is best not to expect to pass on this road.
