<\/a><\/p>\r\nFudodaki Campground, a campground along the Mushikawa River a tributary of the Himekawa River that flows through Itoigawa City, Niigata Prefecture. \u00a0As the name suggests, it is a campground near the scenic \u00a0spot “Fudotaki”.<\/p>\r\n
The\u00a0route to the campground is about 7km on a mountain road. You should turn right onto the road at the Ono intersection on National Route 148, which runs from Itoigawa City, Niigata Prefecture to Hakuba, Nagano Prefecture.\u00a0 The road through the mountain is narrow and long, so if you are new to the mountain, you may be worried you have driven too far. Please be assured that you only continue along this one road, and there will be a signboard along the way. \u00a0There is also another route to the campground from along the Kotaki River to the mountain path. \u00a0This route is recommended if you want to visit the Jade Gorge first, and then stop by.<\/p>\r\n Administration building at the entrance of the campsite<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n camp site<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n The campground is open from late April to early November when the snow melts.

The rocks around the waterfall were originally formed from mud on the seabed, and they are said to date back to the Paleozoic Permian period about 260 million years ago. \u00a0This waterfall, full of history and wonder, is a must-see.<\/p>\r\n<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/p>\r\n<\/a>
\r\nThere\u00a0are an arbor and benches in the vicinity, and a stream runs beside the campground. \u00a0This stream is very shallow, so it\u2019s perfect for children to play in the water. \u00a0* Please keep away from the river when the water level rises.<\/p>\r\n<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/a><\/p>\r\n
