KOUAN CAMPGROUND | LAKE MOTOSUKO | MT. FUJI CAMP | YURU CAMP | SUMMER IN JAPAN

Camping is one of Japan’s most popular summer activities. As the weather starts to warm up each year, campers begin preparing their gear and planning their trips. Since many campgrounds are in high demand, reservations often open up to six months in advance and can fill quickly. One of the country’s most famous campsites is Koan Campground, located on the shores of Lake Motosu. It gained worldwide popularity after being featured in the anime Yuru Camp (Laid-Back Camp). The campground is the perfect place to relax, offering premium lakeside camping with breathtaking views of Mount Fuji—the same iconic view featured on Japan’s ¥1,000 banknote. Koan Campground fees typically start at around ¥1,000–¥1,500 per person for tent camping, with additional charges for vehicle entry, depending on the season and campsite type. Cabin and lodge accommodations are also available at higher rates. Since fees and reservation policies may vary throughout the year, it’s best to check the campground’s latest pricing before your visit.
