Hokkaido is a popular spot for camping and traveling.There are various attractions that can only be experienced in Hokkaido.
You can enjoy camping and traveling in various places throughout Japan, but what sets Hokkaido apart from other areas is that it has a magnificent and large-scale nature.Hokkaido has an area that is incomparably larger than other prefectures, accounting for approximately 22.1% of Japan's total area.There is a lot of untouched nature, and there are many sightseeing spots where you can get close to the great nature that is unique to Hokkaido, including Mt. Yotei, Sounkyo, Daisetsuzan National Park, and Lake Notoro.
Campsites and autocampgrounds in Hokkaido are attractive because they are located in environments that take advantage of vast fields, such as in forests.Many campers come to Hokkaido to experience the best outdoors.Hokkaido is a perfect environment for camping, with summers being cooler and more sunny than Honshu, and winter sports such as skiing and snowboarding available.
When it comes to the charm of Hokkaido, many people probably think of the food.Hokkaido, with its magnificent natural environment and vast area, is home to fresh seafood, Japanese beef and game dishes, fresh vegetables, and many delicious foods from the sea and land.Not only can you enjoy the seasonal produce at local restaurants and markets, but you can also enjoy BBQ and Genghis Khan by bringing local ingredients to camp.
In addition to Sapporo, the prefectural capital, Hokkaido is dotted with many attractive areas such as Asahikawa, Hakodate, Otaru, Tokachi, and Shiretoko.The charm of Hokkaido is that you can enjoy it in different ways depending on where you travel and how you stay, as each area has its own climate, scenery, and specialties.
Another great point is that it is easily accessible from major areas such as Tokyo and Osaka, as it has a well-developed transportation network with planes and the Hokkaido Shinkansen.
Hokkaido's appeal is that you can enjoy spectacular views of nature that cannot be experienced anywhere else.However, there are some climate conditions that other areas do not have, such as no rainy season and cool and cold summers. Some people might give up thinking, ``I want to experience the outdoors in Hokkaido's great nature, but isn't it too difficult for beginner camping?'' or ``I want to bring my children to enjoy Hokkaido's nature, but is it too difficult?'' not.
Glamping is recommended for such people.With glamping, you can experience the great outdoors of Hokkaido without bringing anything.In addition, glamping has the following attractions:
・Enjoy a comfortable environment with air conditioning, amenities, showers and toilets

・Depending on the facility, there are unique rooms that you can choose according to your stay style, such as dome tents, cottages, and trailer houses.

・There are also relaxing facilities such as hot springs and saunas.
・You can enjoy campfires without any troublesome preparation or hassle.
