Hemohalo Camp Jo

Our first camp site for our trip was the Hemohalo Camp Jo. It was about a 30 min drive from Aso-san, which in our opinion is a good distance to be from an active volcano. When we first arrived there was no one at the camp. Later that day a hand full of people showed up to rent one of the cabins. There was one older gentleman who took care of the grounds. We tried to pay him a few time but could not translate why he would not take the money. In the end we left an envelope with the $10 ($5 per night) we owed. I hope the right person got it.





We had the entire campground to ourselves for awhile.



There was a nice river running next to the camp ground the kids really liked to play in.



The trails that started at the camp ground went up one of the local peaks. We had fun climbing part of the trail. It was a little rugged for Hailey so we had to turn back after a while.
