Enjoy winter glamping in Tohoku! Introducing recommended glamping facilities in Aomori Prefecture

Glamping which means glamorous camping type of camping where almost everything you need is provided so you can enjoy it empty-handed.

Glamping, which has become popular in urban areas such as the Tokyo metropolitan area, is a system that is becoming more and more popular every year as it allows even first-timers to enjoy outdoor life with peace of mind

In this article, we will introduce Aomori Prefecture's first full-scale glamping facility, which opened in April 2022 within Daikanyama Park in the heart of Mutsu City

PARK DAIKANYAMA (Ogawacho, Mutsu City)

This camping facility was created as part of a project to bring back the vitality of the historic Daikanyama Park in Mutsu City, and allows you to enjoy " urban glamping

" Daikanyama Park PFI, Public-Private Partnership Project to Create a Vibrant Center ," and set up a trailer house owned by a local company to replace aging park facilities such as toilets.

Trailer houses for accommodation and restaurants have been set up there, and the park is now used not only as a tourist hub to attract people, but also as a local community space where food and beverage events can be held

Two comfortable and unique trailer homes and three tents

Located in a lush green park that is also a place of relaxation for the citizens of Mutsu, this new style of glamping is gaining attention as it allows you to enjoy the atmosphere of camping while also enjoying the nightlife of the downtown area

we recommend Higashidori Beef , a Japanese Black beef produced in Higashidori Village , which is available in vending machines within the park

The vending machines sell sirloin, kalbi, innards, and even pizza made with Higashitsutsu beef frankfurters

Additionally, the following stores, which are housed in trailer homes and school buses, offer dine-in and takeout options, and also sell vegetables and other ingredients

• MENOU : A small bar where you can enjoy seasonal dishes and wine
• L'rod : Delicious Neapolitan pizza and siphon-brewed coffee
• PLOW : You can purchase seasonal vegetables from Shimokita, and they also offer drinks and snacks.

In addition, the park is located close to Tanabe-cho, the downtown area of ​​Mutsu City, so why not enjoy a meal while strolling through the town and visiting Tanabe Shrine, the guardian deity of the Shimokita Peninsula?

summary

Aomori Prefecture is home to many luxury cottages with meals included, where you can stay like in a vacation home, but apart from PARK DAIKANYAMA, there are no other facilities where you can truly enjoy "glamping."

I hope that in the future, many facilities will be established in Aomori Prefecture where people can enjoy "glamping" in comfortable trailer homes and dome-shaped tents with air conditioning and heating

The park also has areas where you can pitch your own tent and enjoy camping, as well as areas (with power outlets) where you can sleep in your camper van, so please feel free to use these as well
