[Press Release] Suzaka City, Nagano Prefecture: "Yama no Kami Campground," where goats coexist, reopens on April 1st! Hot springs 30 seconds walk away, unlimited firewood and logs, same-day reservations via official LINE now available.

Suzaka no Kurashi Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Suzaka City, Nagano Prefecture; Representative Director: Koki Hayakawa) will reopen its "Yama no Kami Campground" on Wednesday, April 1, 2026. While maintaining its wild and rustic location, despite being very close to the city, the renovated campground will now offer "direct bookings" via official LINE and "same-day reservations" that allow guests to decide based on the weather. By employing "goat staff," the campground proposes a new camping style that combines comfort with a rugged, relaxing experience.

■ Background of the "Yama no Kami Campground" Renewal

The "Yama no Kami Campground" was born by gradually clearing a neglected thicket with the cooperation of local residents. This renewal addresses customer feedback requesting "more casual and more comfortable" experiences, leading to a review of plans and digitalization. Furthermore, new goats have joined the team, balancing sustainable environmental maintenance (weeding) with a healing space.

■ 5 Key Points of the April 2026 Renewal

1. Ultimate "Bonfire" Experience: Unlimited Firewood and Logs

We effectively utilize unused wood from logging sites and pruned branches from local orchards. With the desire for guests to "gaze at the fire to their heart's content without worrying about their wallet," we have made not only firewood but also logs available for unlimited use. Guests can experience the primitive joy of splitting wood with provided tools, relieving daily stress.

2. Shortest Access to Hot Springs and Pool: Paradise 30 Seconds Away

With the cooperation of the adjacent "Suzaka Onsen Kojoso," guests can enjoy unlimited hot springs from check-in to check-out. The luxury of washing away the bonfire smell with a morning bath is unique to this campground. In summer, "Summerland," boasting one of the largest sliders in the prefecture, is just a 1-2 minute walk away. Activities are available to satisfy solo travelers and entire families alike.

3. The Return of the Goat Staff

The beloved goats have returned, newly appointed as "weeding staff." They spend their time in a safe, newly built DIY shed and are also the motif of the campground's iconic logo. They are unique staff members who bring healing to local children and campers.

4. Stress-Free Reservation System: Same-Day Reservations Now Available

To pursue convenience, we have introduced "Official LINE Direct Reservations." "Same-day reservations" are also now available, allowing guests to depart after checking the weather and availability. Complete cashless payment enables smart check-ins with just a smartphone, without worrying about time.

5. All Sites Support "Cherry Blossom Viewing Camping"

During this spring season, the cherry and plum blossoms on the grounds are in full bloom. Enjoying cherry blossom viewing from all sites is a limited-time special feature, available for only a few weeks a year. "Cherry Blossom Viewing BBQ" for day use is also a unique pleasure of this season.

■ Comment from Representative Director Koki Hayakawa

"Bonfires and hot springs. I wanted to create a place where people could more easily enjoy the rich natural experiences that moved me when I moved to Suzaka City. With that single-minded passion, I've been working hard, getting dirty, to develop this place. This renewal is just a milestone. This place will eventually be returned to the mountain gods. While valuing our customers' voices, we will continue to make sustainable updates, step by step, with minimal environmental impact."
