After checking in, I immediately went to my tent.This is the view from our tent.Right in front of you, you can see the Seto Inland Sea and the shadows of islands such as Ikuchijima.The deck space facing the ocean is so soothing that you won't get tired of it even if you stay there all day.

By the way, there is a mountain behind the facility, and you can see many trees with oranges.It's a land rich in nature, with the sea and mountains.

When they entered the tent, their excitement rose even more as they exclaimed, "Wow! It's so cute!"Actually, it's her birthday soon.She asked for a surprise when she made the reservation. Lots of balloons for Happy Birthday decorations.It was really cute and even made me happy.

At Grand Village, we will prepare decorations for you for 3,000 yen.We will be staying in a dome tent that is partly transparent so you can see outside. Four beds, a low table and a mini sofa.In addition to the air conditioner, there is also a panel heater for the feet and heating.The pastel blue tents overlook the sparkling Seto Inland Sea.

After carrying my luggage to my room and settling down for a while, a staff member suggested, ``How about trying your hand at making snacks?'' and I decided to try it right away.

``S'mores'' are sweets made in a skillet.Place the broken chocolate bar at the bottom of the skillet and stuff the marshmallows tightly on top. Bake it on the BBQ grill while keeping an eye on it and it's done!When you dip it in crackers and eat it, the hot marshmallows and chocolate melt and taste sweet, followed by the salty taste of the crackers.

“This is amazing.” “You can eat it endlessly.”
I love that it's so delicious and yet so easy to make.You can try making s'mores for 500 yen.

Another snack experience is making tangerine squash.Make squash using mandarin oranges from Takane Island, which has been known for a long time as a mandarin orange production area (300 yen).Just put the squeezed juice of Takanejima mandarin oranges in a glass filled with ice, pour in carbonated water, and garnish with cut mandarin oranges.

It has a strong mandarin orange flavor and a refreshing sourness, which will help you feel refreshed from your travels.Since we were lucky enough to have it, we decided to enjoy it while looking out at the ocean from the deck space.Drinking mandarin squash while feeling the sea breeze was the best!

The administration building, which has a cute red pointed roof, is always stocked with amenities and rental goods such as indoor games and outdoor play equipment.We also post information on the various activities you can experience while staying at Grand Village, so we recommend checking here first.

A pop-up about making outdoor popcorn caught our attention, so we ordered it right away.

There is a brick fire pit in front of the administration building, where a bonfire is started as the sun goes down.Use this bonfire to make popcorn.

Fill your popcorn maker with oil and dried corn and place it over a campfire.It was a bit windy that day, so the bonfire quickly started to blaze up.As I was shaking the popcorn maker from side to side, a fragrant aroma gradually came out, and soon I heard the sound of popcorn popping. ``When the sound stops, it's ready,'' says the staff.

Put the freshly removed popcorn and butter-honey flavor powder into a paper bag, shake it up, and it's done.Even though I think I won't be able to eat dinner, I can't stop eating snacks!The piping hot popcorn eaten outdoors was exceptionally delicious!

Next to the dome tent was a separate eating area with large windows.There was also a BBQ grill, refrigerator, kitchen, and wood stove in the room.It is well covered with a roof and walls, so you can BBQ without any difficulty even in the rain and wind.If the weather is nice, you can open the windows and have a BBQ while looking out at the ocean, or move the table to the deck and eat outdoors.

It was extremely cold that day, so we decided to rent a wood stove (3,300 yen with a bundle of firewood) and enjoy our meal while staying warm in order to enjoy the winter glamping experience.

Now, it's the long-awaited dinner time!Branded Setouchi beef steaks and skewers, and Setouchi seafood such as sea bream, turban shell, and Spanish mackerel.We can't help but cheer when we see the food prepared on the table.

The skillet dishes of Setouchi octopus ajillo and camembert cheese fondue are also a delight.A vegetable salad made by a local farmer, and a sponge cake decorated with whipped cream and berry jam for dessert...it's the perfect meal.

We poured the champagne we had brought into glasses and started the birthday party just for the two of us.It was a very luxurious time filled with delicious food.

The gazebo also has a bathroom and toilet, so you can take a bath in preparation for the after-party in the tent. After filling your stomach, warm up in the bath and warm up your cold body.The night was spent in a heated tent.

It's been a while since we met, so there's a lot I want to talk about.We had so much fun chatting in the tent where we could hear the sound of the waves that we forgot the passage of time.

I don't like camping because it often feels inconvenient, like not being able to take a bath or having to share a toilet, but with facilities like this one, it's just as comfortable as staying in a hotel. .Definitely recommended for girls who long for the outdoors but don't want to take a bath or hate insects.

We stayed up late talking, but for some reason we woke up early in the morning, so we went for a walk along the seashore as soon as we woke up.The weather was brighter than yesterday and I felt refreshed.I'm also getting hungry.

Breakfast is a hot sandwich made on the BBQ grill.Served with herbal sausage and local vegetable salad.It's stylish and delicious, just like a cafe menu.We had Onomichi Roman Coffee's drip coffee on the deck space.

We were fully energized by being in touch with nature and eating delicious food.I decided to visit the tourist spots in the Setouchi area and take lots of photos before heading home.

We've been friends for about XNUMX years.This time we had the unusual feeling of glamping, so we talked about different things than usual, laughed and had fun like children...I feel like we were able to discover sides of each other that we didn't know before.
We fell in love with glamping and thought, ``Winter glamping is great, but I also want to experience spring and summer glamping!'' ``Next time, let's go to the mountains.'' We started planning our next trip. This is where I am.
