An unprecedented sauna boom has arrived!Saunas have become a hot topic in various media such as magazines, TV, and SNS, and have become well-established. Recently, there has been an increase in the number of people who are addicted to the sauna experience and want to enjoy saunas while traveling. Among these, the outdoor sauna is very popular as it allows you to have a relaxing experience in a space where you can feel nature. A few years ago, saunas were associated with ``a place where middle-aged and elderly men gathered after work.'' However, with many female celebrities now professing their love for saunas, the image of saunas has changed dramatically to a place where you can spend a stylish and luxurious time. This time, we will introduce facilities with outdoor saunas that are easily accessible from Tokyo, for those of you who want to feel soothed by nature. We have a full range of carefully selected facilities, such as a self-rolling room, an authentic Finnish sauna, massage and beauty salon experiences, and accommodations where you can bring your dog along, so please look forward to it! For those who want to try sauna for the first time while traveling, we will also explain the effects and precautions of sauna.

Some of you may be wondering whether saunas are good for your body in the first place. You say that, but what kind of changes are happening to your body?
1. Improves blood flow
During a sauna bath, approximately twice as much blood flows throughout the body as normal. When blood flow improves, oxygen and nutrients reach every corner of the body, energizing cells, and naturally improving your physical condition.
2. Has beauty and skin beautifying effects
Don't you feel like your skin becomes smoother when you take a sauna? The change in your skin that looks like you went to a beauty salon is because you sweat a lot and the waste products and dirt that clogged your pores are flushed out. However, be aware that sweat contains waste products, and if you don't wash it off thoroughly after sauna, your skin condition will deteriorate, so be careful.
3. Has a relaxing effect
Warming your body in a sauna will release tension from your body and put you in a state of relaxation both physically and mentally. An outdoor sauna surrounded by nature seems to have an even more relaxing effect.
4. You'll sleep better
Saunas have a relaxing effect and give you a feeling of just the right amount of fatigue after exercise, which helps you sleep better. At an outdoor sauna, you will be able to get a better night's sleep by having a deep experience in a natural space that is free from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
For those who have been interested in saunas but haven't had the chance to try them, we recommend making your sauna debut while traveling. When using a sauna for the first time, everyone is unsure of what to do. If you stay at an inn with a sauna, you can relax and try your hand at it, so please give it a try.
When entering a sauna, be sure to pay attention to three points: stay hydrated, protect your head, and don't overexert yourself.
A sauna is a place where you sweat a lot. Be sure to drink plenty of water before bathing to avoid dehydration. Also, don't forget to hydrate yourself during breaks and after bathing. Some of the lodgings with saunas that we introduce this time have all-inclusive services. After relaxing, we recommend spending a luxurious time with your favorite drink.
In the sauna room, your head becomes the hottest part.Wet hair is more susceptible to heat damage, so wrap your head in a wet towel to protect it.Recently, cute sauna hats have also appeared, so it's a good idea to have your own sauna hat.
Saunas have the image of putting up with the heat, but there's no need to push yourself too hard. If you are a beginner, 5 minutes is fine. Please use it while consulting your physical condition. When it comes to sauna facilities, it's easy to overdo it because you've come all this way. With Glamping's outdoor sauna, you can enjoy it as many times as you like during your stay, so you can enjoy it according to your physical condition.
We will introduce 17 glamping facilities in the Kanto region that are easily accessible from Tokyo where you can enjoy an outdoor sauna surrounded by nature.
