Open the cottage door to an unobstructed view of Nagashima Bay. Our campsite offers more than just “an ocean view.” You’re only a short walk from the water’s edge, yet the shoreline is a comfortable **pebble beach**. No more common camping hassles like “sand everywhere in the tent” or “a huge cleanup after you get home.” At sunset, watch the sea turn golden; at night, enjoy a breathtaking sky full of stars with no light pollution. This one-of-a-kind “natural planetarium” is sure to become a once-in-a-lifetime memory—even for adults.

Five-star pride, with kindness for every generation.

A “Five-Star” campsite certified by the Japan Auto Camping Association. This is not just about having well-equipped Facilities. From setup support for families new to camping, to barrier-free cottages where wheelchair users can stay with peace of mind, and impeccably clean wash areas that overturn the common notion that “campground toilets are unpleasant,” we leave no one behind—whether you’re a beginner taking your first step outdoors or a family creating memories across three generations. “If you come here, you can’t go wrong.” That unwavering sense of security is why Magotaro Auto Campground continues to be chosen.

“Catch, prepare, savor”—and then unwind in a premium Onsen.

Magotaro is not just leisure you simply consume. A serious challenge at the offshore fishing pond, and learning how to fillet fish from local fishermen. You will experience the richness of Kihoku, a fishing town, with your own hands as “food education.” It’s the wildest luxury you could never find in the city. And at the end of your adventure, a “resort” side awaits. Just a few minutes’ drive takes you to our sister property, Hotel Tokinoza, for an authentic natural Onsen. Soothe your pleasantly tired body from the outdoors in a Ryokan-quality open-air bath. Completing both “wild experiences” and “the best rest” in one day—that’s the Magotaro style.

Enjoy a private soak while listening to the distant sound of the waves.

The cottage’s private bathroom is the ultimate comfort, giving you your own space in the heart of nature. With an indoor bath, traveling with small children and bathing late at night or early in the morning are easy—no need to worry about others. You can enjoy the freedom of the outdoors with the convenience of home or a Hotel. Outside the window, you’ll find Kihoku’s lush scenery and the gentle sound of waves from Nagashima Bay. Soaking in a clean tub and stretching out while feeling close to the wild is one of outdoor living’s true pleasures. If you want to be surrounded by nature without giving up private comfort, this is the place. It offers reassuring peace of mind for three-generation trips and first-time family camping.

The best of both worlds: camping and a luxury Ryokan Onsen.

A special experience unique to Suntaro Auto Camp. Enjoy privileged access to the authentic natural Onsen at our sister property, Toki-no-Za Hotel, just a 2-minute drive away. Spend the day playing in the sea, then enjoy a charcoal BBQ for dinner. To finish, soak in the open-air bath of this long-established Ryokan and relax in water from its own private hot spring source. After a wild outdoor adventure, end your day with Ryokan-quality hospitality—this “striking contrast” is exactly what we offer as an outdoor resort platform.
