Iwate Prefecture has previously had few glamping facilities, but recently there have been gradually increasing numbers of facilities in various parts of the prefecture where you can enjoy camping casually without carrying anything.

In this article, we will introduce glamping facilities that are easily accessible and allow you to enjoy outdoor camping at any time of the year.

This is recommended for those who don't have camping equipment and don't know how to do it, but want to spend an extraordinary time outdoors once in a while.

LCO-Resort (Chotaro Hayashi, Takizawa City)

It opened in October 2023 as a glamping facility where you can enjoy camping and saunas in a quiet location surrounded by fields, at the foot of Mt. Iwate in Takizawa City, next to Morioka City.

LCO stands for " Let's Chill Out" and is named because it is a desire to allow people to experience a chill-out experience through glamping.

The glamping villas, which have been renovated from the accommodations that have been renovated since the opening, and the newly installed trailer houses, are all unique, so you can choose the room you like.

In a private space where you won't feel like you're around, you'll be able to experience the moments of your mind and body while enjoying self-louru and other things in a private sauna.

A wide variety of glamping houses

All of the rental houses come with a private sauna, BBQ equipment is always available on the terrace deck, and free Wi-Fi is available with air conditioning, TV, refrigerator, kettle, hairdryer and other facilities.

In addition to clothing and towels, shampoo and soap and skin care products are available in the management building, so you can get as much amenities as you need.

NEW Villa (1 room: bath and toilet included: capacity of 4 people)

It was just renovated in December 2024, and there is a large sofa in the living room, with a unique loft-like bunk bed with a queen size underneath and two singles on the top.

In addition to relaxing in the massage chair while watching the soft flames of the fireplace, there is also karaoke facilities so you can also let your stomach go loud and release stress.

The terrace features a private wood-fired tent sauna and a cold bath, allowing you to enjoy the sauna at any time of your stay.

Glamping trailer house (4 rooms: Includes bath and toilet: 6 people)

There is a barrel-shaped private sauna and cold bath in the garden.

In the middle of winter, you can dive into a garden that has been snowed and has become a snowy field, and enjoy the hot body in the sauna.

You can enjoy BBQ on the spacious terrace and bonfires in the garden.

In addition, two of the four rooms are allowed to come with your pet dog.

Glamping Villa (5 rooms: Includes bath and toilet: 3 people)

Each of the five glamping villas has a different design and interior design, and there is a tent-shaped wood-fired sauna and a cold bath on a large terrace where you can enjoy BBQ.

It comes with a kitchenette with a microwave and other facilities, so you can bring your favorite ingredients and enjoy delicious food.

On the terrace, you can enjoy the BBQ and bonfire, which are the best part of camping, and there are two villas where you can stay with your dog.

Glamping villa with dry sauna (1 room: bath and toilet included: capacity of 2 people)

The spacious twin Western-style room has two single beds and a dry sauna that lets you sweat in a short amount of time (self-loured).

This room is recommended for those who want to sweat it hard.

After cooling your hot body in the cold bath and feeling refreshed, fill up your stomach on the terrace with BBQ equipment and chill out.

Recommended rooms for couples and couples who want to stay at a reasonable price

The instant house and double room do not have a sauna, making it a different taste from glamping, but you can stay at a reasonable price.

Glamping Instant House (1 room: No bath or toilet: 2 people)

This is a cute white house with a pointy roof and round appearance.

There is no sauna, but BBQ equipment is provided.

The house where you can stay with a futon on top is filled with sofas and fridges, and in the cold winter, a kotatsu is set, making it comfortable, making it feel like you're staying in a kamakura.

This house does not have plumbing facilities, but you can use the toilets, baths and showers in the management building.

Double room (2 rooms: bath and toilet included: capacity of 2 people)

There is no sauna, no BBQ facilities, no bonfires, but this room is recommended for travelers who want to stay at a reasonable price.

It is equipped with towels, hairdryers, in-house clothing, kettle, microwave and refrigerator, and rooms are available for staying with your dog.

For your meal, we recommend a BBQ where you can enjoy luxurious meat from Iwate Prefecture!

" Iwate Shortkaku Beef " and " Iwate Mountain Foot Healthy Pork Duchu Tea Pork ," and additional meats are available so you can eat your stomach.

Other limited-time menu items include " Shokuhorn Beef Sukiyaki " and " Platinum Pork Shabu-shabu " in winter (please contact the facility for spring, summer and autumn menus).

Additionally, the BBQ equipment and pot sets in your room are free to use, so you can enjoy bringing your favorite ingredients and having a BBQ or cooking.

These include BBQ grills, gas stoves, ignition agent, chukkaman, charcoal scissors, nets, tongs of ingredients, chopsticks, aluminum plates, pots, clay pots, and more.

Please purchase 3kg of charcoal and gas locally.

Most of the cooking utensils and tableware are available, as well as plastic wrap and aluminum foil, kitchen paper, and salt and pepper as seasonings.

Breakfast is a hot sandwich, a classic glamping dish.

The ingredients for the breakfast hot sandwich are available in the fridge in the room, so when you wake up in the morning, you can eat it at your preferred time, along with fragrant coffee brewed with ground beans yourself.

Things to keep in mind when enjoying glamping at LCO Resort

Firewood and charcoal used in the sauna are available at check-in, but additional charges apply.

Outdoor fireworks can be enjoyed in designated areas from 6pm to 9pm, and BBQ and bonfires are also available until 9pm.

In addition, snacks are available for your dog as well as toilet sets, tableware, leashes, manners and other snacks.

It is also a good idea to bring something familiar to your dog so that he will not be stressed out, such as dog food, gauges, blankets and beds that he usually uses.

summary

I wrote that there are more facilities in Iwate Prefecture where you can enjoy glamping, but many facilities are closed in the winter, and the only place you can enjoy glamping throughout the year is LCO Resort.

Recently, there is a trend of increasing number of full-scale glamping facilities in Tohoku, so eventually there will be more facilities in Iwate Prefecture, which is rich in nature, where you can enjoy glamping in the seasons.
