Camping is the act of staying and doing activities in the great outdoors, such as the sea, mountains, or highlands, with the minimum necessary equipment.We buy food on the way to the campsite, and once we arrive, we do everything ourselves, including transporting tools, setting up tents, cooking, cleaning up, and taking down.It can be a good experience for children.
The advantage of camping is that it is inexpensive.If you have all the camping equipment, you will only need to pay for ingredients, gasoline, and campsite usage fees.If you're in a group, you'll split the bill, so it's quite cheap.
On the other hand, the disadvantage of camping is the initial cost.It costs money to get everything, including tents, tarps, chairs and tables, ovens, and lanterns.In addition, a certain amount of knowledge and experience is required to ensure safety and respond to changes in the weather during camping, such as rain, wind, and typhoons.There may also be a lack of comfort, such as shared toilets and bugs.For day camping, you start early in the morning and are constantly on the move, which can be quite hectic and exhausting.

Glamping is a coined word that combines "glamorous" (elegant, attractive) and "camping".In the sense of elegant and attractive camping, the appeal is that you can enjoy a luxurious space and service in the middle of nature.The advantage of glamping is that you don't need any outdoor equipment or preparation.It feels like camping empty-handed.
Glamping facilities are as luxurious and comfortable as a hotel.There is no need to worry about sudden changes in weather or insects, which outdoor beginners are not good at.You don't need any experience or knowledge of the outdoors, as the facility's staff will support you.In addition, there are many facilities that focus on food, and you can enjoy luxurious meals such as BBQ using fresh local ingredients.
The disadvantage of glamping is that it is more expensive than regular camping facilities.Also, if you spend your time only inside a comfortable and clean facility, you may feel that the outdoor experience is lacking.

When it comes to day trips, how you use your time is very important.If you are going on a day camp in a group, you will need to decide in advance who will be responsible for what to bring and who will buy it so you don't have to rush on the day.It takes a lot of time and effort to buy a large amount of BBQ ingredients, especially at an unfamiliar supermarket.For glamping, all you have to do is choose the Omakase plan and let us know the number of participants, and the facility will provide all the ingredients for the BBQ.You don't need any outdoor gear or BBQ cooking utensils, so you can just go out as if you were going out.

An increasing number of glamping facilities are offering day-trip activities that you can enjoy after BBQ.Private hot springs, cruising, fishing, sea kayaking, etc.There are also facilities that offer hands-on activities for families with small children, such as chopping wood, picking strawberries, and feeding animals, to help them get closer to nature.
When you have a day-trip BBQ at a glamping facility, it is usually done in the administration building, a large shared terrace, or a private deck in each individual section.Even with a roof, the design gives a sense of freedom and is integrated with nature, so you can enjoy the outdoors to the fullest.Even if it rains or the wind blows strongly, you can enjoy your BBQ with peace of mind.

Many mothers and fathers think, ``I want to teach my children the wonders of nature from a young age!''But isn't it difficult to go camping with small children who can't take their eyes off you at all times?The advantage of glamping is that you can go out empty-handed and leave everything to us.Especially recommended for families with small children.Since you don't have to worry about preparation and cleanup, you can enjoy BBQ and activities while communicating closely with your children.

We will introduce the day trip glamping system where you can easily enjoy the outdoors.
You can enjoy BBQ using famous local ingredients and products, such as seafood if you are near the sea, or meat and river fish if you live in the mountains or highlands, and nutritious vegetables.Some facilities also offer optional menus, side menus, desserts, and children's menus.Of course, all BBQ equipment is available for rent.Some facilities have high-performance gear such as Dutch ovens, smoke towers, and fire tables.
Another feature of glamping BBQ is that you can enjoy Instagram-worthy dishes that have a luxurious feel that is different from camping BBQ.Glamping allows you to enjoy a BBQ in an elegant mood without having to buy, prepare, or prepare ingredients.

Some glamping facilities along the ocean or mountain streams have systems where you can bring in the fish you catch.There is also a BBQ that comes with a harvest experience at a nearby farm or a dedicated farm.For people who are used to the outdoors and are picky about food, the bring-your-own plan is recommended.Preparing the ingredients in advance or using homemade sauces and dressings will enhance the flavor of your BBQ.
However, when it comes to glamping, you don't have to prepare everything like you do when camping. In addition to BBQ stoves, grills, cooking utensils such as knives and cutting boards, tableware and cutlery, there is also a facility where you can rent Dutch ovens and smokers.You can also try out exciting dishes that can only be made outdoors that you cannot make at home.
From here, we will introduce glamping facilities where you can use such a day trip plan.

"I want to enjoy BBQ outdoors! But I'm having trouble getting the equipment and buying the ingredients."
"I'm an outdoor beginner, so I'd like to try glamping on a day trip first."
For such people, we recommend a day trip glamping BBQ.
Below, we have summarized the advantages and disadvantages of glamping and camping, and why we recommend day trip glamping.
- Camping is low-budget, but you have to do everything yourself.In addition to the initial cost of equipment, it is necessary to deal with weather changes and insects.
・Glamping requires no preparation or equipment, so you can enjoy the outdoors empty-handed and don't have to worry about the weather.
・The reasons why glamping is perfect for short-term leisure activities are: ``It's easier than camping and you can bring nothing with you,'' ``You can enjoy it along with activities and other experiential content,'' ``You don't have to worry about the weather, even in the rain,'' and ``You can enjoy it with peace of mind even with children.'' "thing.
・Facilities that offer day-trip glamping often have a "day-trip BBQ plan" and a "bring-your-own plan."
・If you want to enjoy it easily, we recommend the "Day Trip BBQ Plan" where you can enjoy luxurious BBQ using local ingredients.
・If you want to use locally caught fish or harvested vegetables, or if you want to procure your own ingredients and bring them in, the ``Bring Your Own Plan'' is a good option.
