Chokai Ohira Campground
Free
From the Jinego Rest Area, take Highway 70 SE. At a T-junction, Highway 70 turns N, but don't follow it -- keep going straight. After about 5km, the pavement turns to gravel, and the campground is about 3km farther.

This isolated campground itself is not very scenic, but it is near the trail head for Hinoto Dake 丁岳, a good day hike. It has one toilet building, a small area for dish washing, a covered eating area, and a light. There is no resident caretaker. The road and campground are closed in winter.

Business hotels are best found in Honjo. Ryokans can be found throughout Yurihonjo, though for a ryokan you'll want to have reservations or arrive early in the day. In a pinch, a car traveler could sleep in the car at any of the rest areas — this is quite common in northern Japan. If you're thinking of sleeping in your car after a night of drinking, please make sure you're completely alcohol-free in the morning, because the police may see your car in the evening and watch for it in the morning. Additionally, there are a few love hotels that could be used, but regular hotels are comparable in price, so it's not a great option.
