In August 2014, a new camping-themed guesthouse called KAMP opened its doors at Houkan-cho, the shopping district near Okayama station.
KAMP was built mainly by the staff that operate “Ushimado Natural Camp”, an event organized in Ushimado, Okayama prefecture each summer.
“Instead of an event that’s organized just once a year, we wanted a place where our friends and all kinds of people could gather 365 days a year,” says Kitayama-san, the manager of the guesthouse.
Music events, talk shows and all kinds of different workshops are arranged on a weekly basis.
A great amount of thought and a sense of playfulness has been put into everything within the guesthouse’s interior. This is a piece of art made from driftwood that was used as a stage ornament at the Ushimado Natural Camp.
This lamp, remodeled out of a wood burning stoe by one of Kitashima-san’s friends, is naturally one of a kind.
On the counter there is a mushroom, which is apparently made out of sawdust.
The simple, clean lodging space is on the 2nd floor. There are 4 rooms that can accommodate a maximum of 16 lodgers. Both dormitories and private rooms are available. (80% of guests are non-Japanese – Europeans are especially numerous.)
Enjoy new acquaintances and exchange information at the mid-Chukoku Region terminal station of Okayama. Even if you’re not a backpacker, we recommend this fun guesthouse packed with a playful spirit and an eye for detail.
