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)

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. And I’ve lived long enough to somewhat understand the nuances of the Japanese culture that make this country such an attractive place to visit. Hopefully I can provide to you both the information you’re looking for and the information you didn’t know you needed to know.
