We checked in at the administration building and received an explanation from the staff about the keys, equipment, and facility services.In the middle of the administration building, there are wooden boxes lined with vegetables.Surprisingly, it seems to be a service of fresh vegetables for BBQ, and you can put as many vegetables of your choice as you like in a special basket and take them to the dome.In addition, there is rental play equipment such as badminton and hoops, and a corner selling cold drinks and sweets, so you can have plenty of fun within the facility.
Outside the administration building, you can rent bicycles for 2 hours free of charge, and you can also rent fishing rods that you can enjoy just by paying for bait (1,650 yen). ``I want to go fishing!'' The one who was the most outdoorsy among the three of us raised his hand.Apparently, there is a fishing spot just outside the back gate of the facility.

Go to our website now.As soon as we saw the Garden Dome, everyone's excitement went up.It's bigger than I expected and even has cute hammocks.Once inside, the air conditioning is working well and you will feel comfortable.
In fact, we really don't like insects.Even though I had a yearning for the outdoors, I had never been able to take up the challenge.However, unlike a camping tent, the large glamping dome is spacious and insects can't get in.It's the perfect outdoor style for us.

I grabbed my rented fishing rod and went to the fishing spot that the staff told me about.Apparently you can catch sea bream and rockfish. My friends, who were excited to have salt-grilled Thai for dinner, fell silent as they listened to the sound of the waves rolling in and out.The sea sparkling in gradations from green to blue was so beautiful that just gazing at it calmed my soul.
Unfortunately, there were no catches.but I had a good time!It's a truly luxurious location where you can go to the beach in XNUMX minutes on foot.

The refrigerator in the gazebo (meal area) is full of BBQ ingredients. The volume is so large that you might wonder, ``It's gorgeous!'' or ``Will I be able to finish it?''We grilled Hiroshima brand meat, Hiroshima beef sirloin and spare ribs, and vegetables from Marche in the administration building on the BBQ stove.
Everyone was very impressed and said, "This is the first time I've had such delicious BBQ!"Plump oysters from Hiroshima are steamed with sake in a Dutch oven.The wild "Beer Can Chicken" is a whole chicken placed in a beer can and grilled, and the skin is crispy and the inside is juicy. Skillet dishes such as ``Octopus Ajillo'' and ``Red Sea Bream Acqua Pazza'' can be baked on the stove!With an authentic BBQ grill, you can cook a variety of dishes at once.

Just as I was enjoying dinner, I suddenly looked outside and saw a beautiful sunset in the western sky!The three of us stopped eating and looked at the orange sky at dusk.Be mesmerized by the fantastic scenery that changes color every moment.It was only a short time, but I felt like I was able to charge up some power.
At night, the eaves of the arbor in the garden were lit up, creating a romantic atmosphere that was completely different from the daytime.

After dinner, we decided to light a bonfire in the fire pit in the garden.If you put firewood together, put a fire starter in the middle, and light it, the firewood will catch fire in no time.Even beginners can easily start a fire.
Try ``roasted marshmallows'' by skewering the large marshmallows provided.It has a creamy texture and addictive sweetness.As I sat around the bonfire and ate marshmallows, I was reminded of the exciting nights around a campfire when I was a child (a bucket of wood for the bonfire cost 1,100 yen).

The best part of the night is the hot springs!At Grandpispa Setouchi, all rooms have natural hot springs.It was about the size of a family bath at an inn, so the three of us bathed together.Of course, girls talk even in the bath.The ceiling was open, so I looked at the starry sky while soaking in the bathtub.There are also two washing areas, so you can use them at will.Girls will be happy to know that the amenities such as shampoo, conditioner, body soap, and towels are all of the same high quality as those found in hotels.
I was tired all day today, but maybe it was the effect of the hot springs or the fluffy bed, but I fell asleep as soon as I laid down on the bed, and I slept soundly until morning.

Breakfast is hot sandwiches and sausage eggs.100% Ocho mandarin orange juice, a specialty of Osaki-Shimojima, and Setouchi lemon yogurt.Mandarin orange juice is sweet, has just the right amount of sourness, and is very delicious.I bought it as a souvenir and took it home.
After packing your bags, check out.I decided to drive around Osaki Shimojima and return home.

After a 10-minute drive from Grandpispa Setouchi, you will arrive at Mitarai, an Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings.It is said that during the Edo period, it flourished as a port town, waiting for the wind and the tide.Recently, it became a hot topic as it was the filming location for the movie ``Drive My Car.''
Stroll through the retro townscape, where buildings built from the Edo period to the Meiji period, Taisho period, and Showa period are mixed together, and the narrow alleyways are intricate like a mesh.I was immersed in a nostalgic mood for a while.

At a stylish glamping facility, you can enjoy a hearty BBQ using fresh ingredients from the Setouchi Inland Sea, enjoy activities such as sea fishing, bonfires, and roasting marshmallows, soothe your fatigue in a natural hot spring, and even go sightseeing the next day! Even though it was only XNUMX night and XNUMX days, I had a really fulfilling time.We chatted without worrying about the time and laughed out loud.It's nice to have friends after all!I realized that.
The women who answered, ``I want to come again,'' ``Of course!'' and ``I'll definitely come!'' probably feel the same way.Everyone's smiles were shining as they had a wonderful holiday.
