Autumn, after the summer outdoor season has ended, is the best season for camping and glamping. We have organized practical know-how in a checklist and Q&A format to help you enjoy a comfortable fall camp in Futtsu, where there are few insects, the warmth of the bonfire is comfortable, and the clear starry sky spreads out.

Preparation before departure! Autumn Futtsu Camp Practice Checklist

• Countermeasures against strong winds along the coast: Winds around Cape Futtsu and along the coast are stronger than inland. Please bring forged pegs with a diameter of 28 cm or more instead of the included aluminum pegs. Be sure to tension all guy ropes to maximize your tent’s wind resistance.
• Anti-cold mat: The cold air from the ground at night takes away your physical strength. It is necessary to use two layers of silver mat + inflator mat or use a cot.
• Condensation prevention towel & dry bag: Due to the difference in temperature between day and night in Futtsu in autumn, heavy condensation occurs in the morning. Prepare an absorbent cloth to wipe down the inside and outside of the tent when you take it down, and a large waterproof bag to take the damp tent home with you.
• Secure purchasing routes for local ingredients: If you procure Boso-produced sweet potatoes (Beniharuka), raw wood shiitake mushrooms, and seafood from local direct sales stores, the quality of your bonfire foil grilling or BBQ will go up to a whole new level.

Clear your frequently asked questions! Autumn outdoor Q&A

**Q1. What is the comfortable temperature range for a sleeping bag? ** A. During October and November in Futtsu, the nighttime temperature can sometimes drop below 10 degrees. Choose a 3-season sleeping bag with a comfortable operating temperature of 5 degrees or less, and add an inner blanket or hot water bottle if you are sensitive to cold.

**Q2. Glamping facility or tent camping, which is better in autumn? ** A. For beginners and couples who want to enjoy bonfires and cooking in earnest but are worried about the cold, an air-conditioned glamping dome is perfect. On the other hand, if you are an experienced person who wants to sit around a bonfire and talk about the long autumn nights, gazing at the starry sky at an auto campsite will be a special experience.

Please prepare in advance and take measures to protect yourself from the cold, and enjoy the autumn outdoors surrounded by Futtsu’s sea breeze and star-filled sky.
