A collection of articles on campgrounds, day-trip hot springs, and lodgings researched in the Chichibu & Nagatoro area, covering Chichibu City and Nagatoro Town in Chichibu District, Saitama Prefecture. We focus mainly on spots easily accessible from Tokyo without transfers via the Seibu Line or Chichibu Railway, and always research two key points: whether the spot is accessible without a car, and Rakuten Mobile signal conditions.
