I still clearly remember my arrival at Glamping Village Fuji Kawaguchiko. It has been an hour and a half since we left Tokyo, and it was a pleasant ride. But the last half an hour I spent glued to the window enjoying the awe-inspiring sight of Mount Fuji from up close.

And the glamping sight was right under the mountain. Surrounded by trees and unspoiled wilderness, it felt like stepping into a place where time slows down, allowing you to truly connect with the environment.

Glamping Room Types

The village comprises 30 rooms, making it one of the largest glamping resorts in Yamanashi Prefecture. And I could really feel it as I was walking around and exploring the grounds. Guests have the choice between villas and dome tents, each offering a unique way to experience the outdoors without compromising on comfort. Domes are also for family with small kids. And villas are also for couples that want luxurious setting.

The first night’s locally produced glamping barbecue was a delightful introduction to the local cuisine of the Yamanashi area. Cooking our own barbecue, complemented by delicious Yamanashi wines from the onsite nature bar, was a culinary adventure. The kitchen in our villa comes fully equipped, and among others, it had a really good barbecue.
