Glamping is an elegant way to enjoy food and stay in the middle of nature.Over the past few years, the number of people who enjoy glamping has increased, and this year it seems that glamping is attracting even more attention as a new resort.Let's think about why.
Glamping is a coined word that combines "glamorous" (meaning elegant or attractive) and "camping".Is it an elegant and stylish camp? It is a new style of outdoor activities where you can enjoy your time in a luxurious space surrounded by nature.The biggest advantage of glamping is that you can go there easily.No outdoor knowledge, experience, or camping equipment is required.All you have to do is change your clothes and pack what you need in your bag and you're ready to go!It's like "empty-handed camping" so to speak.
The facilities at the glamping facility are as comfortable as a hotel.There are also air-conditioned rooms and clean toilets and baths.The staff provides attentive service, so even families with small children can stay with peace of mind.Also, one of the attractions of glamping is the food.The number of glamping facilities that are focusing on food content, such as BBQ using fresh ingredients unique to the production area and luxurious menus prepared by chefs, is increasing.
The spread of the new coronavirus has brought major changes to our work and lives, such as being forced to refrain from going out.It is expected that it will take some time for the virus to completely subside, and it is necessary to relieve stress and fatigue from staying at home while avoiding the risk of infection.Glamping is attracting a lot of attention.Glamping facilities, where you can enjoy the outdoors in style, are often built on sites rich in nature, such as the ocean, mountains, or plateaus, away from crowds.If you travel in your own car with just the family you usually live with, you can prevent the risk of infection while traveling.
In addition, many glamping facilities have independent accommodation facilities such as cottages and large tents on vast grounds, so if you choose such a facility, you may be in a 3C situation with other guests. It can be avoided.Furthermore, it is best to carefully check the facility website and choose a facility that takes into consideration the health of the staff and the hygiene of the facility, and takes measures against the 3Cs.
Forget about the constraints of everyday life, enjoy outdoor BBQs, activities at the sea or in the forest, and enjoy glamping for both children and adults to your heart's content, relieve stress, and experience the wonders of nature.
Glamping is a fun time spent in a luxurious space surrounded by nature.Nowadays, various glamping facilities have been created all over Japan, and their contents are diverse. For those who don't know how to choose one, we will introduce checkpoints when choosing a glamping facility.
Each glamping facility has its own particular style of stay.If you imagine the style you want to be comfortable in, you will find it easier to find what you like.If you want to enjoy the real thrill of the outdoors, a tent is definitely the way to go.When it comes to glamping, tents are very large and spacious inside.With a large bed, toilet, bath, and air conditioning, you can feel as relaxed as in a hotel.If you want to stay in a luxurious space, we recommend cottages and cabins.This is an independent facility that can be used like a villa, and you can enjoy meals such as BBQ and a bonfire in the outdoor living room.There are also more and more unique facilities such as aerial tents and trailers, so if you're concerned about looking good on SNS, you might want to use these facilities.
One of the attractions of glamping is the food.Eating freshly prepared food outdoors is a feast in and of itself.There are also many glamping facilities that are particular about food.Some of the options include a BBQ plan using branded meat, fresh seafood, and local vegetables, a plan where you can cook the fish you caught and vegetables you harvested from the nearby sea or river, and a buffet where you can enjoy the chef's creative dishes. Some also offer style meal plans.If you are particular about food, we recommend choosing a glamping facility with a meal plan.
Another fun part of glamping is the activities.Glamping facilities offer ways to enjoy nature unique to the area, in addition to surrounding tourist facilities.Year-round activities include field athletics and workshop-type activities.There are also facilities where you can enjoy tennis, pool, hot springs, and golf.In spring and summer, you can enjoy marine sports, playing in the river, and catching bugs.In the fall and winter, trekking, snow sports, playing in the snow, etc.There are also facilities where children can enjoy activities such as harvesting, cooking, petting animals, chopping wood, and building fires.Check out what activities are offered and choose a glamping facility to make your travel experience even more fulfilling.
