– Let’s ask Dr. Toshiaki Ishikura, art anthropologist and mythologist –
“Why do we want to return to nature?”
“Why do we gather at the sea?”
“Why do we camp?”

– What is Shiogori Camp? –

SHIOGORI CAMP was launched with the concept of “a campground at the sea created by everyone.”
This event is held at Ogigahama beach in Tanabe City, Wakayama Prefecture, which used to be a popular Shiogori site on the way to the mountains of Kumano Kodo, and is created with visitors, exhibitors, administrators, and local people who appear like a mirage.
