Experience of the stay
Amazing facility. Definitely planning to return!
It's a hidden gem that I don't want to share with others, but I wanted to include some details as I had questions about the "single overnight stay" from the official website and the story.
【About the facility】
There are dome-shaped glamping facilities, but the single-room accommodations are in the main building with the front desk, so it may not feel very much like glamping.
However, there is a lounge where you can drink coffee and more for free, a sauna, and a shared dryer nearby, making it a comfortable place to stay!
【About the room】
The single room is quite small.
You should imagine a luxurious capsule hotel with a bed and a desk.
The air conditioning is centrally controlled for all rooms, but the hospitality of the staff was wonderful, and they greeted me every time we met.
Workation is good here.
【About the sauna】
You can use it without any issues, even as a single! I'm really happy about this.
There are three private saunas, but they are next to each other, and since the cold water is shared, swimwear is required! You cannot enter without swimwear, so please be careful.
Due to the nature of glamping, there are many couples and party-goers, but let's enjoy our time alone without worrying.
【About meals】
For the single room, you will need to buy your meals from somewhere and bring them in. You can use the refrigerator and microwave.
I was hoping to use the BBQ grill and condiments available for rent, but they were meant for the glamping house (also, the single room is too small to cook).
【About access】
You can access it by train and bus using public transportation! Even if you don't have a license, you'll feel safe.
Experiences during the trip
Due to scheduling constraints this time, I went directly to and from the accommodation.
There are breathtaking seas and hot spring towns nearby, and some stylish and interesting cafes, so I will definitely make a comeback next time!
