Hoping to see the beautiful starry sky, I camped in my car in the parking lot of Senomoto Kogen Rest House. I visit Senomoto at least five times a year, but this was my first time camping in my car. I arrived just after 9:30 PM. There were no other people camping in their cars. I had the place to myself. The men's restroom is shared overnight, and both men and women use it. The place is well-maintained and clean. Unfortunately, clouds obscured the view of the beautiful starry sky that day, but there were no other cars around, so I was able to relax until the next morning. The next morning, it was -3°C, and I enjoyed watching the snow fall and the surrounding scenery change. I'll definitely visit again.
I like the retro Showa-era feel. They have almost everything you need, and a wide selection of souvenirs.
There are even go-karts outside.
Also, meals come with a main course, salad bar, and drink bar, which is great for families with children.
However, what really hit me hardest was the retro name stickers.

On the way from Daguan Peak to the Jiuchongmeng Grand Suspension Bridge, the scenery along the way was beautiful.
A typical post-forestation mountain scene, with few trees and lush green grass covering the mountains.
Very soothing to look at.
We stopped at this rest stop along the way because we saw a lot of motorcycles gathered there. Riding here must be very enjoyable.
Beautiful scenery, refreshing air.
There is a dog run that can be played in for free. It is separated into large and small dog areas. There seem to be many people who don't know about it yet, so it was almost booked even on weekends. My dog was running around happily under the magnificent scenery.
