Camping at the Scenic Mitatezaki Park in Ashikita Town
This listing is for a one-night auto campsite (with power) usage ticket at the Mitatezaki Park Campground, "Hoshinomori," which opened in October 2022. The campsite is located within Mitatezaki Park, offering plots surrounded by woods where you can park one car alongside. The site is equipped with power, Wi-Fi, and a cooking area with hot water, ensuring a comfortable stay even for camping beginners.
Key details for the campground include check-in at 13:00 and check-out at 11:00. Free disposal of raw garbage is provided, while charcoal and ash must be taken to a designated area. Separate garbage collection is available for a fee of 500 yen. Pets are not permitted for walks within the site or for bringing onto the premises.
A major advantage of this return gift is the priority booking period. While regular reservations open 90 days in advance, holders of this ticket can make reservations starting 6 months prior to their desired month of use, with a limit of 4 slots per day on a first-come, first-served basis. Please note that after the regular reservation period begins, availability cannot be guaranteed, so early booking is recommended.
The process for use is: 1. Apply and pay for the donation. 2. Once the ticket arrives, call to make a reservation (accepted from 6 months before the desired month). The reservation contact is the Mitatezaki Park Management Office at 0966-87-0737. 3. Be sure to bring the ticket when you visit. The ticket will be sent within approximately 1-2 weeks after payment. The expiration date (valid until) is the end of the month one year after the payment date. Tickets past their expiration date become invalid and cannot be refunded.
Mitatezaki Park is a leisure land overlooking the Shiranui Sea with a view of the Amakusa Islands. It boasts one of the largest beaches in the prefecture, along with a campground, racing/go-kart tracks, fishing spots, hot spring facilities, a salt-making experience center, and an observatory, providing fun for children and adults alike all day long. The park's charm also lies in its magnificent scenery, which changes with the sea as a backdrop throughout the seasons.
The surrounding Ashikita area in Kumamoto Prefecture is known for its stunning coastal landscapes and citrus production. An interesting local fact is that the town is famous for its "dekopon" citrus fruit, a seedless and very sweet variety. The closest major landmark is the majestic Kushima Ohashi Bridge, a series of bridges connecting the mainland to the islands of the Amakusa region, offering breathtaking views of the sea.
