With the rise of the sauna boom, the number of people who enjoy saunas in a variety of ways has also increased. Among these, the outdoor sauna, which allows you to experience nature outdoors, is attracting the attention of many people. The appeal of the experience of becoming one with nature is that it gives you the ultimate sense of freedom, but it also requires more preparation than going to a sauna facility in town. What we would like to recommend is a glamping facility with a sauna where you can easily enjoy some sauna activities. In this article, we will introduce recommended sauna facilities that will satisfy everyone from sauna beginners to advanced users, as well as points to consider when choosing a facility.

A great experience outdoors! How to choose a glamping facility with a sauna

There are many glamping facilities with saunas, and there are many different types, including private saunas that can be reserved, outdoor tent saunas, and saunas in the attached public baths. If you choose a facility that does not meet your needs, you will not be able to enjoy your outdoor sauna. Here are some points to check when choosing a glamping facility with a sauna.

Shared sauna or private sauna?

Glamping facilities with saunas may have a shared sauna that guests can use, or they may have a private sauna in or near the room.

The charm of a shared sauna

They are often attached to public baths or facility pools, so in addition to saunas, you can take a relaxing soak in the bathtub or enjoy a cool-down in the pool. Another benefit is that you don't have to adjust the temperature yourself, making it easy for beginners to try saunas.

The charm of a private sauna

After all, the biggest appeal is that you can enjoy it in a private space without worrying about other people watching. Also, you can use it whenever you want, and you can adjust the temperature and roll without worrying about others, so you will be very satisfied.

Become one with nature in an outdoor sauna

For those who want to feel closer to nature, we recommend the tent sauna, which has attracted many fans in recent years due to its open feeling and high degree of freedom.

Can advanced saunas be done in the river? !

Tent saunas can be used in a variety of locations, including rivers, lakes, the sea, and snow, but riverside saunas are especially popular. You can experience nature as background music, such as the murmuring of a river or the rustling of trees.

However, purchasing a tent sauna can be difficult. For such people, choose a glamping facility where you can enjoy a tent sauna outdoors.

Glamping saunas are also recommended for couples!

Glamping is perfect for a couple's trip, as it allows you to experience the comfort of a hotel stay while enjoying the openness of the outdoors. Since this is your precious time together, be sure to check carefully before making a reservation to avoid making mistakes.

If you are going as a couple, check this out!

・Can you secure a private space?
・Is the room equipped with a bath and toilet?
・Is there a romantic spot?
・Are there any plans for anniversaries that the two of you can celebrate together?

Above all, securing a private space is the most important thing. If you choose a facility with a private sauna, the two of you can have a relaxing experience together. In general sauna facilities, there are few places where men and women can use together, so this is something you should check.

Don't give up even if you have a pet with you! Glamping facility with sauna

When looking for a glamping facility that allows pets, it is important to focus on the non-negotiable points. For example, you may say, ``You are free in your room, but you cannot go into your bedroom.'' In order to avoid regrets on the day of your trip, check the points you think are absolutely necessary beforehand.

Checkpoints for glamping facilities that allow pets

・Check the range within the facility (Is it OK to use a leash or does it need to be kept in a cage?)
- Is it free in the room or put in a cage?
・Is there a place where your dog can relax, such as a dog run or walking path?
・Check out services such as pet meals and hot springs.
Be sure to check the non-negotiable points and choose a facility that suits your needs.
