Many people are probably starting to plan their family vacations for Golden Week 2024. However, traveling during Golden Week is bound to be crowded. Especially at famous sightseeing spots, you can expect crowds and heavy traffic jams, so you might be wondering where to go. In fact, glamping can solve all of these problems at once! Glamping is a time spent in the middle of nature, free from crowds. There are many facilities that offer free activities that you can enjoy within the area, so you don't have to travel from place to place, and it's also very easy on your wallet!

Many people are looking forward to traveling with children during Golden Week, but are starting to get anxious when they think about the crowds at tourist spots and the heavy traffic jams when traveling. When traveling with children during busy periods, we recommend glamping, which can be enjoyed safely by both adults and children.
Traveling with children can be difficult because you have a lot of luggage and it can be difficult to move smoothly. Especially during Golden Week, there are so many people everywhere you go, and what should have been a fun trip can end up being tiring and stressful.
On the other hand, with glamping, everything is done on the premises once you arrive! Get your body moving in the great outdoors and enjoy free activities within the area. Being able to go back to your room and rest as soon as you get tired is a great feature when traveling with children.
Speaking of outdoor activities, one of the things I look forward to is eating out-of-the-ordinary meals such as BBQ. However, you may be concerned about the fact that outdoor cooking such as BBQ is easily affected by the weather. When it comes to glamping, many facilities have covered decks and all-weather dining spaces, so you don't have to worry about it even if it rains. You can enjoy BBQ without worrying about the weather while maintaining the open feeling of being outdoors.
I think just seeing a child's happy face will make you feel tired, but adults also want to have fun. When it comes to glamping, some facilities have hot springs and beauty salons on-site. Recently, the number of facilities where you can enjoy outdoor saunas has increased. Let's slowly soothe yourself, who works hard every day, in a space that feels extraordinary.
No need to worry about traffic jams! We have carefully selected facilities that offer free activities for children.
La Nature is a private glamping experience in a large dome-shaped tent where you can enjoy an extraordinary experience in all rooms with open-air baths. Here, you can enjoy all-you-can-eat soft serve ice cream that you can make yourself! There are various toppings available, so both children and adults can enjoy it. It's also nice to have all-you-can-drink soft drinks.
There is a children's corner on the premises with toys, picture books, and play equipment. There's a ball pool inside a barrel sauna-shaped building, a swinging tent, and children will be fascinated by the play equipment they've never seen before.
