■ 1st to 10th Place: "Spring-Perfect! Scenic Highland & Lakeside Campgrounds" Trending on SNS
1st Place: Boiboi Camp (Oita Prefecture)
Scenery 20 points, Seasonality 20 points, Food Satisfaction 19 points, Experiences/Activities 19 points, Culture/Stay Environment 20 points, Total 98 points
Provided by Boiboi Camp
"Boiboi Camp" boasts one of the most expansive locations in Japan, with a vast free site that boldly utilizes the topography of the Kuju Highland in Oita Prefecture. In spring, the clear air from the high altitude and the pleasant spring breeze blowing through Aso-Kuju National Park welcome campers. The overwhelming open feel, with views of the Kuju mountain range from anywhere on the vast site, provides an unparalleled environment to experience the openness of spring.
The surrounding tourist resources are also abundant; nearby "Kuju Flower Park" boasts a magnificent bloom of nemophila in spring, allowing visitors to enjoy colorful scenery. In terms of food, one can procure exquisite red wine at "Kuju Winery," accessible by car, or enjoy specialty curry offered at "Cafe Boiboi" within the facility, among other elements that dramatically enhance satisfaction during the stay. At night, the complete absence of surrounding lights, allowing a sky full of stars to unfold, was also a decisive factor for its top rating.
2nd Place: Rising Field Karuizawa (Nagano Prefecture)
Scenery 19 points, Seasonality 19 points, Food Satisfaction 20 points, Experiences/Activities 18 points, Culture/Stay Environment 20 points, Total 96 points
Rising Field Karuizawa
Embraced by the rich nature of Karuizawa, Nagano Prefecture, "Rising Field Karuizawa" is an exceptionally open campground located at an altitude of approximately 1,200m. The fresh greenery that sprouts later than in the city, combined with the magnificent view of the remaining snow on Mt. Asama, and the refreshing air, allows you to vigorously move your body with authentic sky athletics, instantly resolving winter's lack of exercise.
Culinary enjoyment is also exceptional; the shop sells fresh local ingredients from Shinshu. In addition to BBQ that can be enjoyed hands-free, the center house within the facility offers carefully selected original burgers and craft beers. At night, you can enjoy adult time with the sound of a bonfire, spending a luxurious moment savoring Shinshu's flavors under the soft spring sunshine.
3rd Place: PICA Fujisai-ko (Yamanashi Prefecture)
Scenery 19 points, Seasonality 18 points, Food Satisfaction 19 points, Experiences/Activities 20 points, Culture/Stay Environment 19 points, Total 95 points

Located on the shore of Lake Sai, one of the Fuji Five Lakes, this campground is attractive for its serene environment surrounded by rich forests and calm lake waters. In spring, magnificent cherry blossoms bloom around the site, allowing visitors to capture the luxurious and uniquely Japanese triple view of "Lakeside, Cherry Blossoms, and Mount Fuji."
On the calm waters of Lake Sai, water activities such as canoeing, kayaking, and SUP are popular, allowing visitors to feel the pleasant spring breeze, and the abundance of nature-contact experiences is outstanding. Furthermore, diverse accommodation facilities such as comfortable cottages and yurts are well-equipped, and rental items are abundant, making it an excellent resort facility where everyone from beginners to veteran campers, and even families with pets, can comfortably enjoy the spring outing season.
