[Southern Kanto] Glamping is the perfect place to start camping with your kids! 13 recommended glamping facilities

Camping is something you want to try at least once when your kids are old enough. There is a lot to be learned from the experience of cooking and sleeping in nature. However, families who are new to outdoor activities may feel anxious about the preparations and arrangements. In such cases, we recommend starting with glamping!

Glamping eliminates the need to prepare food and set up tents, which can be difficult when camping. There are some wonderful glamping facilities within a 1-2 hour distance from Tokyo. They also have hot onsen and large baths, so they are more than just a regular camping experience! This time, we will introduce some recommended glamping facilities in southern Kanto.

Tokitama Himitsukichi Comoriver is located about a 7-minute drive from Myokaku Station. It is a glamping facility built around the theme of a Satoyama resort where you'll want to stay at home surrounded by rivers and nature. It caters to a wide range of camping needs, from the playful glamping tents that children will love, to the comfortable glamping cabins that come equipped with toilets, showers, and simple kitchens so even those with small babies can stay safely.

You can bring your own food, but if you want to enjoy it casually and without any hassle, we recommend the plank barbecue course. This is a BBQ method that originated in America and involves placing food on a wet wooden board (plank) and steaming it on a grill. The aroma of steamed ingredients will make your stomach growl.

There is a lounge for guests only. It's nice that they also offer free drinks. While the children are playing with their dad, relaxing with a drink in hand and reading their favorite book can be a relaxing moment.

In front of the glamping facility is a calm river and shallow waters. Summer rivers are the best playground for children.Also, when you spend time by the riverside on autumn nights, you can experience the soothing sound of clear water, the sounds of insects, and the starry sky, making you feel like you are one with nature.

Three types of cheese, including raclette cheese, can be melted on a special plate and poured over meat and vegetables. Even children who don't like vegetables will be able to enjoy it with cheese! Mom and Dad can enjoy a stylish barbecue with cheese and wine in hand.

The kid's room and kids park are also great for families with children. There are many hotel-original play equipment outside. There is also a corner where you can interact with ponies and dogs.
