Exploring Glamping in Japan: Discovering the Best Sites!

What is Glamping? How is it Different from Camping?

The term "glamping" combines "glamorous" and "camping," creating the concept of luxurious camping. In short, it's camping with VIP treatment! This globally popular idea allows people to enjoy the fun of camping in a luxurious environment. Unlike traditional camping, which requires setting up tents and preparing food, glamping offers a more comfortable and indulgent experience.
