Abstract
This study explores the regional conditions for the continuous development of the frontier campground ‘Woodsland Mio’ in Misugi and discusses its contribution to regional revitalization. Woodsland Mio has a rich natural environment that is used as a place of healing in spite of easy accessibility to some urban areas. Thus, it is important to maintain the geographical environment and create or update the unique experience-based contents using forest resources or forest-related resources to ensure repeat campers. Woodsland Mio itself is a highly specific and appealing tourist resource, and it serves as a gateway for tourism in Misugi. The strength of the Woodsland Mio, which can ‘discover’ the attractions of Misugi, is effective in promoting tourism-based regional revitalization.
