For your next visit to Tokyo, or for those people living in Tokyo, did you know there are places where you can enjoy nature, but also a place where you can have a luxurious experience? This might sound contradictory at first, but it is possible to do if you go to a glamping site.
Glamping is a relatively new word that has the meaning of the words “Glamorous” and “Camping”. Glamping sites are becoming more and more popular in Japan, to the point that you can find one pretty much at any prefecture you visit. You might think there aren’t that many places where you can have this experience near Tokyo, being such a big city. But there are actually various locations near Tokyo (and some even within Tokyo) where you can bathe in nature while having services that of a high-rated hotel.
In this article, I will introduce to you our picks of the 5 best glamping sites near Tokyo. The good thing about all these places is that access is fairly easy and they all provide unique services that reflect the attractive points of where they are located.
1. Fureaihiroba Glamping (Tokyo)
Although most foreign visitors have the impression that Tokyo has the best things to offer in the city areas, there are a lot of beautiful places where you can enjoy nature in ways you can’t experience in many other places. Fureaihiroba Glamping (ふれあい広場 グランピング) is a glamping site in Akiruno city, Tokyo. It takes somewhere between 90 minutes to 2 hours to get there by car or by train and bus from central Tokyo.
On this site, you can either come to just enjoy the BBQ, or you can come and stay at the glamping site. The luxurious tents here have a capacity for up to 6 people, and some even come with a jacuzzi.
Nearby the site, there are many tourist places you can go including hot springs, museums, temples, shrines, and of course many nature spots such as waterfalls.

As you may already know, Kamakura is a highly popular touristic area where you will find many things to do. People will usually stay at hotels or Japanese-style Ryokan.

Chiba prefecture is probably where you will find the most glamping sites when it comes to accessibility from Tokyo. Mother Farm Glamping (マザー牧場 Glamping) is one of the most popular ones, being a glamping site within the vicinity of the popular tourist site “Mother Farm”.
Mother Farm is a large theme park in Chiba prefecture that has many rides, attractions, restaurants, shops, fields of flowers and animals that you can interact with. This theme park itself is a fun place to visit, but this is just a portion of what you can enjoy if you come to stay at the glamping site.

Born and raised in Costa Rica, I started living in Tokyo from college. I love traveling within Japan & around the world. Since I wasn’t born in Japan, I know the cultural impact that you can get when visiting Japan for the first time and what you might be worried about before your trip.
