It is not necessary to give up on comfort,
luxury and high quality service to get in touch and enjoy the best of the
nature. That is the main idea of glamping, short for glamorous camping, a
modern style of camping that combines several amenities and technology to offer
traditional adventures and camping related activities in astonishing natural
sceneries.
And it is exactly the worldwide famous and
one of the most beautiful landscapes in the country that you can enjoy at Japan´s
first glamping resort, HOSHINOYA Fuji. Located nearby Lake Kawaguchi, in the
middle of the forest and surrounded by almost untouched nature, HOSHINOYA Fuji
is part of Japan´s leading luxury resorts and hotels operator, Hoshino Resorts,
which owns the brands HOSHINOYA, KAI, RISONARE (check out our review
from Hoshino Resorts RISONARE Yatsugatake here) and several other lodgings, all
of them well known by its luxurious accommodations allied to the high quality
service and hospitality, representing the traditional Japanese Omotenashi.
In order to create an atmosphere isolated
from the outer world, after the check in at the reception located in the base
of the mountain, where guests receive the instructions and a welcome pack with
camping tools and amenities, to access HOSHINOYA Fuji lodgings it is necessary
to ride one of the internal vehicles operated by the staff.
