[Kanto] Enjoy nature and onsen! 12 glamping facilities with onsen and open-air baths

We live in an era of information overload, and we have to process an enormous amount of information. The brain works at full capacity 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The brain becomes very tired. And, in conjunction with the brain, the mind goes into fatigue mode... What's more, if an event or accident occurs that changes your environment, your anxiety, worries, and tension will increase, and your brain and heart will become a mess. In such cases, we recommend using a stress management method called ``mindfulness.''

``Mindfulness'' is a stress management method that focuses on the ``now'' and stabilizes the mind, rather than focusing on the past or future. Meditation is well known. Meditation involves throwing away distractions and focusing deeply. It sounds kind of difficult, but it's not. The key to successful mindfulness is to pay attention to what's happening around you and concentrate! So it doesn't have to be meditation.

Glamping has a clear definition overseas. One is that you can experience the real pleasure of camping. That's why it's important to feel the sounds of the swaying trees, the murmuring of the river, the chirping of birds, and sometimes even the sound of rain during glamping. The second definition is "to solve problems at camp." In glamping, the service provider prepares everything you need for camping. In other words, immerse yourself in nature and concentrate on simply experiencing it. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the ultimate mindfulness. In this article, we will introduce glamping facilities by prefecture in the Kanto region, which are easily accessible by car from Tokyo.
