The Midoriko Fureai Hiroba motorhome campsite in Nanbu, Tottori Prefecture, resumed operations on October 4 after a four-month suspension caused by the bankruptcy of its designated management company. The site is now run directly by the town and will be open only on weekends and holidays. It offers 24 powered pitches for motorhomes, six tent sites, and shower facilities. Last year it recorded 1,435 visitors, and 20 reservations have already been made through the end of October, mostly from the Kansai region. The town is considering whether to solicit a new designated manager for the next fiscal year.
