Nojima Park Camp Jo – “Urban Corner Island Camping”

Nojima Park Camp Jo (野島公園キャンプ場) (Kanagawa, Yokohama) – “Urban Corner Island Camping”

Located within Nojima Park in Yokohama’s Kanazawa Ward, accessible via a 5-minute walk from Nojima-Koen Station on the Yokohama Seaside Line onto the island. The campsite is surrounded by the sea on three sides (Nojima is Yokohama’s only natural island), offering a 360-degree ocean embrace. Adjacent to the park’s BBQ area, fires are permitted but must be contained within designated stoves; charcoal BBQ equipment rentals are available on-site. Daytime activities include strolling the island’s intertidal zones, digging for clams, and birdwatching. In the evening, the sound of tides complements the sunset views beautifully. Managed by Yokohama City with a strictly enforced reservation system, the number of concurrent campers is limited, ensuring sufficient space for each group. On weekdays, the campsite is often quiet and spacious, and even on weekends, visitors (mostly families) are dispersed, preventing excessive noise. Facilities including a management office, showers, and restrooms are available and maintained for hygiene and safety. An excellent choice for those wanting a seaside camping experience without venturing far from the city: convenient, affordable (weekday site fees around ¥2,500), and offering unique scenery.
