Profile

Ako Seaside Auto Camping Grounds 赤穂海浜公園オートキャンプ場 in Ako City, sits beside the Seto Inland Sea and offers a mix of tent sites, cabins, and glamping options. The sea breeze makes it a pleasant place to camp, though it can get windy at times. The grass is soft and well-kept, and each site has enough space for families or small groups.

There are around 40 standard tent sites, several wooden cottages and glamping areas for those who prefer more comfort. Most camp sites allow you to park your car next to your tent, and some have power outlets and water taps. Campfires aren’t allowed, but small stoves and barbecues can be used safely within the rules.

Facilities are well maintained and include toilets, hot showers (coin operated), a coin laundry, playgrounds and a small shop for daily items. Everything is easy to access and kept in good condition, making it simple for first-time campers or families with children to enjoy a short stay. Prices range from about ¥3,000 for a basic tent site to around ¥20,000 for glamping accommodation (depending on season).

Ako Seaside Auto Camping Grounds is next Ako Seaside Park, on the day of check-in you can park at the camp ground for free and walk across to the park, saving you ¥550. It’s a good choice for people who want to camp near the sea without travelling far from Kobe or Himeji. More information and reservations are available at https://www.ako-autocamp.com.
