Fumotoppara Campground Introduction

Camping While Viewing Mt. Fuji from Fumotoppara Campground

Fumotoppara Campground is a campground at the foot (fumoto)! Huh? Because it’s a campground at the “foot” of Mt. Fuji, you get to do nomad work while looking at Mt. Fuji! A few clouds are covering it, but it’s Mt. Fuji.

I meant to do nomad work, but I unexpectedly get captivated by Mt. Fuji. Campsite decided!

Its name is Fumotoppara Campground (Fujinomiya City, Shizuoka Prefecture).

Setting Up the Tent at Fumotoppara Campground

Within the vast grounds, you can pitch your tent anywhere (spots close to the restroom are super popular). Although somewhat far from the restroom (could this lead to a crazy situation later…?), I went for the best position with a clear view of Mt. Fuji.

Best position secured! (My friend secured it for me)

Tent set up! (My friend… set it up for me)! It’s my castle! (My friend… set it up for me)

It’s our castle! (My friend… set up everything for me)

Cooking Our Own Meals (Gohan) at Fumotoppara Campground

For food, it’s onions, of course! No no no no…

They were selling gibier (venison), so I gave it a try! Delicious! Delicious!

Breakfast is, of course, Howl’s Moving Castle-style fried eggs! Delicious! Delicious! (My friend… made everything for me)

Pitch-Black Night at Fumotoppara Campground…

At night, it’s pitch-black. Thinking there’s no problem since I’ll just sleep in the tent, an hour passes and I want to go to the restroom. (Drank too much beer.) Outside, though, it’s pitch-black; even walking with a flashlight, it’s hard to tell where the restroom—which I could walk straight to during the day—is. Even if I miraculously make it to the restroom, this time I can’t find my way back to the tent!

I got a bit lost, but I managed to return to the tent. Looking at the place where I got lost the next morning, I was heading toward the exit! (No, rather, heading toward the trash station)

Σ(ﾟωﾟﾉ)ﾉ

In the end, I’m thankful I made it back to the tent. Thanks to my own intuition… (lol)

Shop at Fumotoppara Campground

At Fumotoppara Campground, there’s a small but well-stocked shop. Firewood is sold.

Firewood is sold.

They’re selling a weird guy…

Campground essentials are fully stocked.

Restaurant at Fumotoppara Campground

Fumotoppara Campground also has a simple restaurant attached, and there’s a mountain bike inside. I wanna ride it!

The restaurant has an open feel, and the interior is spacious.

At the restaurant, there are curry rice and yakisoba, but the recommendation is the Pork-Deer Pork-Deer (Buka-Buka) Burger, mixing pork and venison. Delicious! Delicious!

Nomad Working at Fumotoppara Campground

Nomad working at Fumotoppara Campground under the blue sky feels super awesome. The wind is a bit strong, and I end up drinking beer under the blue sky, thinking “work is enough already” and immediately slacking off—but nomad working under the blue sky feels super awesome! That’s camp nomad working.

Prepare thoroughly and have a fun camp! Enjoy a nice time in Fumotoppara!
