Hello, my main interest is camping. I have read that there are a lot of campsites in Japan used mainly by students. Are there campsites that would suit the more mature traveller (middle-aged)? And the best place to visit for scenery, culture and history. You will see from my homepage the kind of holiday I like. Many thanks in advance.

Welcome to JREF feeblecat !!

At the top of the page on the right side in the grey bar is a "JREF search" bar. If you type in "camping" or "tenting" there are some older good info posts there that may help you.

Were you also seeking "the best place to visit for scenery, culture and history"?
What kind of "scenery" did you have in mind?
For culture and history, many people will tell you what guidebooks do -- Kyoto, Nara, Osaka, Kyushu...

Camping in Japan

Thanks for replies. The kind of scenery I like is mountains, lakes, natural structures. I don't know how possible it would be for me to camp in Japan by bringing my own camping gear (perhaps a lot of hassle) but perhaps there are campsites with ready-erected tents? I will do a more thorough search tonight.
