Glamping is a coined word that combines "glamorous" (meaning elegant or attractive) and "camping".In other words, it's an "elegant and stylish camp."We will introduce how camping is different from the same outdoor camping and how to enjoy it in each season.
Camping is the ultimate outdoor activity.The definition is ``enjoy lodging and playing in the great outdoors with minimal equipment.''Camping requires initial costs to get the tools and equipment, but the advantage is that it can be done relatively inexpensively after that.However, the disadvantage is that you have to do everything by yourself, such as setting up the tent, transporting things, cooking, and cleaning up afterwards.A certain level of outdoor knowledge and experience is also required to be able to deal with sudden changes in weather and unpleasant insects.Additionally, some women, especially women, avoid camping because they don't like communal toilets or showers.
Glamping solves all the problems of camping. The concept is to ``spend a fun time in a luxurious space in the middle of nature,'' and you can easily depart with just the preparations for an overnight trip.The biggest appeal of glamping is that it combines the charm of camping with a sense of nature and the comfort of a hotel.You can enjoy a variety of activities within the facility and at nearby sightseeing spots, and you can also enjoy ``food'' such as BBQ using local ingredients and luxurious menus prepared by chefs.
Another great thing about glamping is that you can enjoy it in many different ways depending on the season.One of them is activity.In summer, glamping offers activities unique to each season that take advantage of the location of each facility, such as marine sports and cruising if you are near the sea, or playing in the river or catching bugs if you are near mountains or forests.
In addition, glamping facilities that place an emphasis on food offer BBQ using seasonal ingredients unique to the region, as well as warm and comforting meals cooked using wood stoves and Dutch ovens in winter. .Glamping is a place where you can enjoy each season.
Recently, glamping facilities are increasing all over Japan.Their content, stay style, and charm vary widely.Even with glamping, the way you can enjoy it will vary depending on the facility you choose, but here we will introduce the types of ways you can generally enjoy glamping.
Glamping facilities come in a variety of styles, including large tents, cottages, cabins, treehouses and trailers.The great thing about glamping is that even though the styles are different, all of the facilities offer the same level of service as a hotel.
After activities or dinner, return to your room to take a bath and relax in air-conditioned comfort.Amenity goods are also available, and you can sleep on a fluffy bed even though you're outdoors, which is unique to glamping.Even if you exhaust your physical strength by having fun outdoors, you can sleep soundly at night, so you can enjoy activities the next day with energy.
Glamping has the pleasure of tasting the local food.When it comes to glamping, a luxurious glamping BBQ is standard, but most places offer luxurious dishes made with carefully selected ingredients.You can enjoy branded meats, fresh seafood, freshly harvested vegetables, and more to your heart's content with both your eyes and your taste buds.
Depending on the plan, you may be able to cook fish caught in the nearby sea or river, or vegetables harvested at the farm.There are also facilities such as auberges (suburban restaurants that originated in France where you can stay overnight), offering authentic course meals prepared by chefs using plenty of local ingredients.
Currently, glamping facilities are increasing across Japan, and some offer unique activities that take advantage of the charm of the area or facility.There are also activities that can only be experienced in the area, such as food education activities where you can harvest seasonal vegetables at a dedicated farm, cook and eat them, as well as cave exploration, mountain climbing, and forest walks at the foot of the mountain.
There are also facilities that offer experiences such as interacting with various animals and experiencing natural industries such as rice harvesting and fishing.You may not be able to enjoy all the attractions in one night at a facility that has plenty of tourist facilities nearby, such as scenic spots, historical heritage sites, safari parks, and zoological and botanical gardens.
Young women are driving the current glamping boom.There is no manual labor necessary for camping, and the facilities are hygienic, which is why it is gaining popularity.However, the main reason why they love glamping is that it is cute and stylish.
Glamping stay styles vary from dome-shaped tents to cottages and trailers, but all of them are so wonderful that you'll want to take photos and show them off.The interior has a Scandinavian style and American style, with furniture, miscellaneous goods, lighting, etc. all being coordinated, and no matter where you look, there are scenes that will look great on social media.The dining table, lined with authentic BBQ cooking utensils and luxurious ingredients, is so luxurious that you'll want to coordinate the table yourself and post it all on social media.
The best part of camping is the extraordinary experience, but the best part of glamping is being able to experience a ``cute'' and ``stylish'' world while being surrounded by nature.
