The Cupid Valley campsite, which extends to the foot of Mt. Hishigatake (elevation 1192 meters) in Yasuzuka-Ward, Joetsu City, Niigata Prefecture, was reopened this spring.

Cupid Valley is known as a ski resort that boasts abundant snow in winter. In the summer season, it is a field where you can enjoy a variety of activities, mainly BBQ and camping.

Another feature of this camp site is that you can stay with your dog.
