I stayed at this glamping facility with my friends. The dinner and breakfast were included in the package called "Local Gourmet Woodland Glamping - Farm and Natural Scents". There is a separate BBQ area where semi-prepared ingredients are delivered, such as grilled fish, roast beef, smoked bacon, pizza, risotto, vegetables, and dessert like mitarashi dango. It's easy because the ingredients are semi-prepared, but some effort is still required. It's fun to cook together with everyone. However, if a mother is alone and has no cooking experience, it might be tough. Fathers should also help out. Young people who have never cooked before need to work hard to make it delicious. Drinks are not provided, so you need to buy them at a nearby supermarket. Additional ingredients can also be purchased there. You should check at the management office for available vegetables. The seafood and roast beef were delicious, as well as the smoked dishes. The vegetables were good too. We are a group of older drinkers, so the amount of food was enough for us. But for younger people who want to eat a lot, it might be better to purchase additional ingredients. For breakfast, we had bagels, roast beef, and vegetables. We also grilled the leftover pizza and bacon from dinner, so we were stuffed from the morning. The tent we stayed in was comfortable.

This is a glamping facility located near Amanohashidate, with a high vantage point overlooking the sea. Right next to it flows the Seyagawa River, where you can catch rainbow trout and enjoy river activities during the season. The facility consists of dome-shaped tents called "Grand Domes". Although we only had a BBQ this time and did not use the Grand Domes, we were able to take a quick look inside. The interior of the dome tent feels quite spacious. I was told that it is quite sturdy and has good resistance to bad weather such as strong winds and heavy rain. There is also a private natural hot spring bath and a campfire. The BBQ included seafood such as turban shells, dried fish, shrimp, as well as meat, vegetables, and rice balls. They were grilled on a grill plate instead of charcoal. The sauces used were common store-bought ones. Since it's a BBQ, it's all about enjoying the skill of the person grilling. The location and convenience of this place were excellent. I would love to stay in a Grand Dome next time if the opportunity arises.

I found out about this place from a glamping facility introduction site that has been frequently featured lately. It's quite popular and fully booked during the summer vacation... I've been checking it out a few times and happened to see a vacancy in a facility of just the right size. This time, I made a reservation about two weeks ago. Information about this facility: "Farm Glamping Kyoto Amanohashidate," which opened in June 2019 with a focus on food education. Both adults and children can enjoy it. I'm quite interested in this "food education" theme. Of course, bringing your own food, drinks, etc., is allowed for glamping, and there are also experiences that you can enjoy with your grandchildren. For more information, please refer to their website. Grand opening on June 10, 2019! I was able to visit about two and a half months after the opening. Before checking in here, I went shopping... First, I went to Maizuru Port's "Michi no Eki Maizuru Port Toretore Center" to have some seafood skewers, grilled fatty mackerel, etc., for a light meal, and bought sazae (turban shell), head-on shrimp, scallop skewers, dried shishamo (smelt), and bamboo ring for BBQ! Then I moved to Ine and stopped by at Mukai Sake Brewery, which served "Ine Mankai" sake at the Osaka Summit, to get some Japanese sake! I also stopped by a supermarket on the way to get soft drinks, beer, etc., and then headed to Farm Glamping Kyoto Amanohashidate. I arrived around 2:40 PM for a 3 PM check-in. I entered "Cooking Terrace FUN," which serves as the management building, to take a break. The lobby is quite spacious with several sofas. While waiting, I decided to have Amanohashidate Premium Beer and Tango Premium Beer at the bar counter here. I checked in, confirmed the room assignment, received the room key at 3 PM, unloaded the luggage from the car, and distributed it to the room and BBQ space. There was a refrigerator of about 100 liters in the BBQ space. After a short break, I headed to the on-site farm... "Amanohashidate Sukusuku Farm," located about a 5-minute walk from the glamping site, for vegetable harvesting. During this season, there were eggplants, okra, cucumbers, bell peppers, etc., but not many varieties. Since it's a food education theme, it would be nice to have some explanations or written instructions on vegetable names, varieties, cultivation periods, and how to eat them (just a hopeful suggestion). The vegetable harvesting experience is only available for groups including children of elementary school age and younger. Next, I had an experience at Cooking Terrace FUN... Each group could choose between making pizza or potato chips and popcorn. This time, I opted for making potato chips and popcorn. First, we washed the potatoes well and sliced them with the provided slicer, and then rinsed the sliced potatoes in water (to wash off the starch), drained them, and wiped off the excess water with paper towels. Then, we fried them in the fryer until they turned slightly golden brown. We tried the plain ones right away, and they were delicious with a good potato flavor. Next, we made popcorn by adding 50 ml of salad oil to a pot, and each child put in a popcorn kernel. We waited on low heat until the popping sound stopped, shaking the pot occasionally. We enjoyed the freshly made popcorn, which was crispy and fragrant! The children were thrilled! The pizza-making experience also looked fun. We took a break in the cabin, which was comfortable with air conditioning. As the evening cooled down a bit, we started preparing for the BBQ in the BBQ space. This time, there were five adults and four children... We bought plenty of food and drinks, filling the refrigerator and a 40-liter cooler with ingredients for dinner and breakfast the next morning. The dinner ingredients this time were as follows: Black Wagyu ribeye steak 200g x 2, Black Wagyu fillet steak 200g x 2, Black Wagyu sirloin steak 200g x 2, Black Wagyu thick tongue 400g, Live sazae (turban shell) 12 pieces, Head-on shrimp...

Glamping is so much fun, I didn't expect to be so excited!! They pretty much prepare all the food for you, just leaving the last part to cook yourself. They let you do the most enjoyable part. There were a few dishes with a bit too much oil, but in terms of Instagrammable, it's perfect, isn't it? We had a great time making good memories with good friends. I definitely want to come back.
