Solo Camping in Japan: Pick Up Your Gear at the Campground

If you are going on a solo camping trip to Japan, think about the time you will spend at the site before your luggage. We have compared the new Hinata 1-person camping set and the 1-person comprehensive set, and organized everything from on-site pickup to seasonal configurations and separate supplies.

Solo Camping: Choose How You Want to Spend the Day

If you want to sit next to your tent to read a book or simply relax, start by looking at the new single-person camping sets. If you want to utilize cooking and camping tools on-site, you can compare the seasonal lists of the comprehensive single-person sets. The starting point for preparation is to not assume that every consumable is included just because the name is "comprehensive."

Picking Up Gear at the Campground Reception

Campsite reservations are separate from equipment reservations, and you must submit a campsite reservation and payment confirmation. 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 date. Exceptions will be individually notified by Hinata, so please check the confirmed announcement first.

On the first day, arrive during daylight hours to allow time to compare the number of bags and the contents list. For the new set, you must check for three Type 1 alkaline batteries for the lantern and a separately ordered grand sheet. For the comprehensive set, check separately whether batteries for the relevant season are included, and prepare gas cans, food ingredients, ignition sources, and tableware.

Planning Meals with the Comprehensive Solo Set

Even if cooking utensils are included, you must separately check the campsite's fire and cooking regulations as well as fuel conditions. Deciding on your menu first and packing necessary ingredients and personal tableware can reduce the burden of having to go back to the site to obtain supplies. Chair colors cannot be selected, and it is better to check the functions and quantities required for actual use rather than the equipment model.
