Usagidaira Area
At Usagidaira (1,576 m), visitors can stay at a popular campground approximately 1 kilometer from the Jododaira Visitor Center along the Bandai-Azuma Skyline. This wooded area is a convenient base for exploring the Jododaira area and hiking Mt. Higashi-Azuma and Mt. Issaikyo. The site has a parking lot, a campground, and a mountain hut, and several nearby walking trails lead to wetlands, ponds, and peaks in the Azuma mountain range.
Jododaira Campground has tent sites, kitchen facilities with running water, and toilets. Campers have the choice of three different areas, ranging from secluded forested sites and grassy treeless sites to sites with elevated wooden decks. The campground is managed by Bandai Asahi National Park’s Jododaira Visitor Center.
Visitors can choose to stay overnight at Azuma Hut, close to the campground. The log hut has a dormitory-style sleeping area, a coke heater, a dining hall, and toilets. The walls are decorated with photos of the mountains around Jododaira in different seasons. Azuma Hut was built in 1934 and has a long history of accommodating hikers. ß
