What are the problems when traveling with children?

While you can have fun with your family, it can also be difficult because you are traveling with children.We will explain the points you should know before traveling with children and the points that tend to cause trouble.

I'm concerned about what other people think

Since you are traveling in a different environment than usual, your child may become excited or even grumpy.Many parents find it difficult to fully enjoy their trip because their child makes noise, cries, shouts, runs around, etc. and is worried about other people's eyes.There may be times when you were looking forward to going to an amusement park, zoo, theme park, sightseeing spot, eating out, etc., but you ended up not being able to enjoy it because your child was worried about it.

I can't let you play to your heart's content

When you travel, you don't just visit parks and other playgrounds.There are many places where you need to be quiet while traveling.Many parents warn their children not to make noise or run in hotel rooms so as not to disturb other guests.Especially for active children, not being able to play to their heart's content can be stressful and may cause them to become grumpy or cry.As a parent, you may feel sorry for your child, saying, ``Even though I took them on a trip, I can't let them play as much as they want.''

I want to go home right away

There are times when you have to stay still while traveling, such as traveling long distances, waiting in line for attractions or shops, or waiting for a parking spot. Waiting is painful even for adults, so children naturally get bored quickly.As a parent, it can be disappointing if your child grumps and says, ``Let's go home!'' even after spending a long time trying to reach a goal.

Why we recommend glamping for families traveling with children

Glamping allows parents and children to enjoy traveling together to the fullest by solving the various problems that arise when traveling with children.We would like to introduce you to the charms of glamping, which is recommended for families traveling with children during summer vacation.

Entire building is reserved, minimizing contact with people

Accommodations provided at the glamping facility are private tents and cottages.Unlike hotels and inns where multiple rooms are grouped together in the same building, contact with other guests is minimized.Not only can you spend some private time with your family, but you can even let your kids run and make noise in the room!One of the charms of glamping is that you can relax without worrying about other guests.

You can let your child play to their heart's content.

At the glamping facility, as soon as you step out of your room, you will be exposed to a vast outdoor space.You can move your body as much as you like by running around on the lawn, playing catch or Frisbee, etc.Depending on the facility, each room may have a private pool where you can play in the water, or athletic play equipment that children can play with.Recommended for family trips with active children.

You can rest when you want to rest

With glamping, there are many places where you can enjoy play and activities within the facility without having to leave the facility.If your child gets tired or sleepy, they can always go back to their room and rest.It's also safe when you have infants or babies, or when you want to enjoy a three-generation family trip with grandparents.

Parents and children can enjoy together

Glamping offers a variety of experiences unique to the outdoor environment.In addition to playing in the mountains, the sea, and rivers, many glamping facilities also offer outdoor activities that everyone can easily try.In addition, each facility offers a variety of family-friendly services and activities, such as farm experiences and food education experiences.Another appeal of glamping is that you can enjoy it in ways that suit your child's age and interests.Parents and children should enjoy this experience that is not usually possible.

How to enjoy glamping with your child during summer vacation

Glamping is not only a comfortable way to spend your time, but it also has a lot of fun and excitement that comes with summer vacation.If you're going glamping during your summer vacation, we'd like to introduce you to some fun ways to enjoy it as a family.

prepare a meal together

Even if you want your child to help with meals at home, you may find it difficult to do so due to the presence of dangerous objects such as knives and fire.Most meals at glamping are BBQ, where you grill and enjoy your favorite ingredients. Children around the age of 3 can arrange the dishes, and elementary school students can try grilling meat, so you can have fun preparing meals with your child.

Try marine activities

There are many glamping facilities that are within walking distance of the sea or river where you can enjoy marine activities.In addition to swimming, there are facilities for serious activities such as SUP and kayaking, as well as fishing and cruising.Summer vacation is also a unique experience where you can have lots of fun by the water.With glamping, you can choose from a variety of marine activities depending on the age of your children and what they want to enjoy.

enjoy nature

The best part of glamping is being able to fully enjoy nature in a comfortable environment.There are many ways to have fun that you can't experience in the city, such as catching bugs in the early morning, astronomical observation under the starry sky at night, and walking through the forest.Spending time in the rich natural environment that is usually hard to get into is not only fun for your child but also a valuable experience.

Also used as a base for sightseeing in the surrounding area

Some glamping facilities are located near theme parks such as amusement parks, zoos, and aquariums, as well as tourist attractions.We also recommend using the glamping facility as a base to enjoy sightseeing in the surrounding area.During the day, you can enjoy walking, sightseeing, and events in the surrounding area, and in the evening, return to the glamping facility to enjoy activities and glamping BBQ.
