In response to the unprecedented sauna boom, tent saunas that can be enjoyed outdoors are becoming popular.Did you know that in addition to enjoying a sauna by setting up at a campsite or outdoor scene, there are also an increasing number of glamping facilities that have saunas?We will explain the benefits of using a sauna at a glamping facility.

A tent sauna is a typical sauna that can be enjoyed outdoors.It has become popular because it is easy to set up and allows you to enjoy the sauna casually.However, the disadvantage is that it requires time and effort to prepare, set up, and take down, as well as carrying tents, stoves, and firewood.
Glamping saunas are installed in a dedicated corner of the glamping facility or in the area where you will be staying, so you can enjoy the sauna without the hassle of preparation.

A tent sauna is a typical outdoor sauna that allows you to have a simple sauna experience by burning a wood stove inside a tent.However, in order to start a wood stove inside a tent, you will need outdoor skills such as starting and setting up a fire.
You must also be aware of the risks of carbon monoxide poisoning, fire, and burns caused by starting a fire inside your tent.In addition, due to the outdoor environment, there may be other disasters such as the tent being unable to withstand heavy rain or snow and collapsing, or being blown away by gusts of wind.
A sauna at a glamping facility is installed by the facility in the room or area.There are saunas at hot spring facilities that you can take with your children, allowing you to enjoy a safe and secure sauna experience outdoors.

Some outdoor facilities, including campgrounds, prohibit tent saunas due to risks and manners.Even if you choose to use a facility where tent saunas are permitted, you must avoid areas that are at risk of natural disasters, such as rivers, oceans, and cliffs, and choose a location where you can safely set up your tent and wood stove.It's also difficult to find such places.
If you're looking for a glamping facility, all you have to do is reserve a facility with a sauna in advance.There is no need to worry about finding a place.It is also recommended for outdoor girls' gatherings where you want to enjoy the sauna together.

Considering the above points, it can be said that the biggest advantage of saunas at glamping facilities is that you can easily enjoy a relaxing experience in the middle of nature.
In addition to saunas, some glamping facilities have facilities and activities such as hot springs, cold baths, pools, and yoga experiences.Let's fully refresh ourselves from everyday fatigue and stress in the great outdoors.

Glamping facilities have rules for using the sauna, such as ``wear a swimsuit when using the sauna.''Also, if the sauna is available for private use, advance reservations may be required.It is best to check the rules for use and whether reservations are required in advance on the glamping facility's official website or reservation site.If reservations are required, the number of users or groups per day may be limited.Early reservations are recommended.
This article provides detailed information on the necessary preparations and precautions when using a sauna at a glamping facility, the effects of the sauna, and etiquette.please check it!

We will explain the characteristics of each type of sauna that can be experienced at glamping facilities.

This is one of the Finnish saunas.``Louryu'' generates water vapor by pouring water over heated stones in the sauna, raising the perceived temperature and promoting sweating.Since the water used in Loryu is aromatic water, it is also attractive that you can feel refreshed with the pleasant aroma along with the steam.

Tent saunas are synonymous with outdoor saunas.It is a type of sauna that is heated using firewood or a chimney stove in a tent or dome set up in the middle of nature.There is also a tent sauna that can be enjoyed as a Loryu-style sauna with stones installed inside the tent.

Barrel sauna is a sauna that has been passed down in Finland for a long time.A barrel is a circular (cylindrical) barrel with no beginning and end.It is stronger than regular barrels and its shape is less likely to change.It also has an excellent ability to maintain even heat within the barrel, making it a perfect match for Roryu.Another great feature is that you can enjoy the sauna while being surrounded by the gentle warmth and scent of wood.

Generally, saunas are often shared facilities, but glamping facilities also have many saunas that can be enjoyed in a private environment.You may be able to use rooms with a sauna, or sauna huts or tents that can be reserved for the exclusive use of your accommodation plan or by reservation.
The types and types of private saunas vary depending on the glamping facility.There are many benefits, such as being able to enjoy the sauna whenever you want and not having to worry about other customers.It is also recommended as a sauna that you can enjoy as a family with children.
Glamping facilities also have plenty of places where you can enjoy saunas.We will introduce recommended glamping facilities by type of sauna that boast saunas that provide a luxurious and relaxing experience in the middle of nature.
