Your First Camping Trip in Japan: Campground Gear Rental for Friends and Families

When planning a camping trip to Japan, the first hurdle might be loading tents and sleeping bags onto the plane. If you plan to book a campsite separately and pick up your equipment on-site, you can reduce the burden of packing heavy gear. Regarding the Hinata 2, 3, and 4-Person Camping Beginner Set...From reservation to on-site pickup, installation, and next-day returnI am preparing for a camping trip.

First camping trip in Japan, choosing the location and season before the number of people

Once you have determined the number of people in your party, please check the campsite dates and location first. Booking an equipment set does not automatically reserve a campsite spot. Please note that for these three products, you are required to submit a campsite reservation and payment confirmation. Having the campsite and dates set makes it easier to check the pickup location and season-appropriate equipment together.

You must verify the exact composition of the set based on the detailed product description for the selected season. Do not assume that the models or quantities of tents, chairs, and lights shown in the photos are the same for all seasons; please read the included items for the option you are booking first.

2, 3, or 4 People: Choosing the Right Beginner Set for Your Trip

party	Products to compare	Things to check together
2 people	Beginner Camping Set for 2	Composition and quantity of selected seasons
3 people	3-Person Camping Beginner Set	Seasonal configuration, Grand Seats ordered separately
4 people	4-Person Camping Beginner Set	Composition and quantity of selected seasons

First, select a product that matches the number of people in your party, and check the usage date and options on the card. For the 3-person product, it is specified that the grand sheet placed under the tent must be ordered separately. Rather than assuming the same conditions apply to the 2-person and 4-person products, you must check the instructions for the corresponding options.

When you arrive at the site, start with the list before setting up your equipment.

Upon arrival at the campsite, prioritize checking your reservation and picking up your equipment at the reception desk. Compare the received gear against the configuration list for your selected season and verify the tent components and instructions. Some tools may be provided as substitutes, and chair colors cannot be selected. If you wish to take photos with a specific model or color, it is best to inquire about availability before making a reservation.

After setting up the tent, leave a little space in your schedule.

On your first camping day, it is more convenient to plan for the day to check and set up your equipment, rather than visiting several tourist attractions and arriving late. Setup time varies depending on your gear and skill level. Check your site and facilities according to the campsite guidelines, pitch your tent, and take a moment to sit down and enjoy the forest and the breeze.

The morning viewed from inside the tent is also a scene from the trip

The reason for renting equipment may be to create time for what you want to do at your destination, rather than simply to stock up on more items. Leave room for moments that can only be enjoyed by not packing your schedule tightly, such as opening the tent door to look at the scenery in the morning or taking a brief rest in the afternoon. Check the season and the campsite environment before packing your sleeping arrangements and personal items.

Please check lantern batteries and personal supplies separately.

For all three products, it is stated that Type 1 alkaline batteries for the lanterns must be prepared separately, and three are required per lantern. Please check the number of lanterns assigned and prepare the necessary quantity of batteries. It is recommended to organize personal clothing, toiletries, food, and seasonal items separately from the rental list. Cooking and the use of open flames must follow campsite regulations.

Plan packing and return around the next-day 2 PM deadline

Typically, you pick up your equipment at the campsite reception desk or administration building and return it to the reception desk by 2 PM on the return day. Hinata will notify you individually of any exceptions. Do not assume that the campsite checkout time and the equipment return deadline are the same; please verify both times together. Please allow time to check the components and pack after your morning schedule.

Before departure	Check campsite reservation and payment confirmation, seasonal composition, and separate items to bring.
After arrival	Pick up at the reception desk, check equipment list, install
In use	Camping and relaxation in accordance with facility and campsite regulations
Return date	Check components and packaging, usually return to the reception desk by 2 PM.

Check available campsites and travel routes

The map below shows Hinata's registered operating locations. This does not mean that all group and season options can be picked up at every location. Please check the pick-up locations for your selected product and campsite reservations separately, and coordinate the equipment drop-off times with your travel schedule.

The last four things to check before booking

• Did you select a 2, 3, or 4-person package that matches the size of your party?
• Are your campsite reservation and payment confirmation ready?
• Have you checked the seasonal composition and separate supplies such as sheets and grand sheets?
• Have you checked the pickup location/time and the 2 PM return date?

Once the number of people and the campsite have been determined, please check the usage dates and season options on the product card above.Stock, rates, and final pickup conditions are checked based on the reservation screen and confirmation notice.
