There are two camping area in Ugusu Camping Park. Which do you prefer?
Area 1 (on Beach side) Charge is 5000yen for 1 tent.			Area 2 (cannot see sea) Charge is 800yen for 1 person.
It is on beach side, so scenery is not so bad. But it is too crowded, just like the sample tents in a outdoor shop.			It is not on beach side, so you cannot see the sea. But it is not crowded. Of course, I selected here.
