In 2012, the Scout Association of Japan received a donation of vast forests of approximately 2.7 square kilometers in Takahagi, Ibaraki Prefecture, from Daiwa House. Permanent facilities include an Administrative Building with accommodations for 44 people, dining room/kitchen, meeting room, training room; an outdoor auditorium of 200 square metres (2,200 sq ft) that seats about 100 people; a tent campsite with accommodations for about 800 people and about 50 campfire places available; a communal plaza (Hiroba 広場), and an outdoor arena stage.[1]

Yamanaka Scout Camp was superseded in August 2017 by Takahagi Scoutfield, after the closure of Yamanaka Scout Camp. It is open to local schools, youth groups, and educational organizations within Ibaraki Prefecture.
