Enjoy Camping and Cabin Stays
Auto Camping Area
The auto camping area is equipped with cooking facilities and toilets, making it suitable for both experienced campers and visitors who are new to camping.
Guests can bring their own camping equipment for a more traditional outdoor experience, while those looking for a simpler outing can enjoy day camping. Barbecue equipment is also available for rental, making it easy to enjoy an outdoor meal without having to bring all of the necessary equipment from home.
Spending time outdoors with family or friends, preparing food together, and enjoying the surrounding forest are some of the simple pleasures that make camping here memorable.
Comfortable Cabins: 10 Units
For visitors who prefer greater comfort, the facility has 10 cabin houses set among broad-leaved trees. Each cabin is equipped with a kitchen, bath, and toilet, providing a convenient environment for an overnight stay in nature.
The cabins offer a balance between outdoor recreation and comfort. During the day, guests can explore the surrounding forest, while in the evening they can relax in the peaceful woodland setting and enjoy starry skies when weather conditions are favorable.
The experience can feel almost like staying in a private mountain retreat, making the cabins particularly appealing to families traveling with children or visitors who want to enjoy nature without giving up basic amenities.
Explore the “Forest of Creation”
Seasonal Flowers and Forest Scenery
One of the highlights of Higashi-Hakkoda Family Travel Village is the “Forest of Creation”, a trekking and walking area where visitors can explore the changing natural scenery throughout the year.
The forest is home to a variety of seasonal plants and flowers, including Amur adonis, dogtooth violets, and Japanese azaleas. In spring, carpets of dogtooth violets create a beautiful display, while autumn brings colorful foliage and seasonal fruits to the forest.
The walking trails provide an excellent opportunity to observe the local ecosystem at a relaxed pace. Visitors can enjoy the scenery, listen to the sounds of the forest, and discover the small seasonal changes that are easy to miss in everyday life.
Birdsong and Wildlife
The forest is also a pleasant place for birdwatching and wildlife observation. The sounds of wild birds can often be heard along the trails, adding to the peaceful atmosphere.
With a little luck, visitors may even encounter wild animals such as the Japanese serow. Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, so visitors should observe animals from a safe distance and avoid disturbing them.
During summer, the forest provides a cool and refreshing environment. The shade of the trees and the sounds of nature create a relaxing atmosphere that can feel pleasantly removed from busy urban life.
A Family-Friendly Outdoor Destination
Higashi-Hakkoda Family Travel Village is designed to make it easy for people of different ages to enjoy the outdoors. Children can experience the excitement of camping and exploring a forest, while adults can relax and enjoy the scenery.
Families can spend the day hiking and having a barbecue, then stay overnight in a cabin or campsite. Alternatively, a short visit is enough to enjoy a walk through the forest and experience the surrounding natural environment.
The combination of camping, cabins, forest walks, seasonal flowers, wildlife, and starry skies makes the facility an appealing choice for travelers who want to experience a quieter side of Aomori.
Reservations and Staying Overnight
Reservations for the campsites and cabins can be made by contacting the Shichinohe Tourism Association. Applications may also be available through the Shichinohe tourism information website, “Tabi no Kura Shichinohe.”
Because facilities, reservation procedures, and operating periods may change depending on the season, travelers should check the latest information before visiting.
