Many of you may be camping enthusiasts or considering a camping experience in combination with your travel plans.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even if you want to enjoy camping with familiar camping equipment, it is difficult to bring a complete set of camping gear to Miyakojima.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can bring your own tent, sleeping bag, and mountain gear if you have it, but it will be a large piece of luggage.<\/span><\/p>\n

Furthermore, butane gas and gasoline cans must be obtained after arriving at Miyakojima, right?<\/span><\/p>\n

So, whether you are familiar with camping or a beginner, we recommend using glamping facilities and campgrounds.<\/span><\/p>\n

Glamping is a nature experience that combines the best of camping with hotel-like services without the hassle of setting up tents and preparing meals.<\/span><\/p>\n

Created in the U.K. in 2005, there are more than 250 glamping spots throughout the U.K., mainly in the suburbs of London.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since then, it has become extremely popular in Europe and the United States and is now a familiar outdoor activity in Japan.<\/span><\/p>\n

To experience the great nature of Miyako Island to your heart's content, we recommend using glamping facilities and enjoying easy camping with no need to set up and take down tents.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can feel nature differently from other activities.<\/span><\/p>\n

Furthermore, Miyako Island is the only place in Okinawa where you do not have to worry about hubs, so you can enjoy glamping and camping in peace.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are interested in experiencing the nature of Miyako Island, please consider glamping and camping.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The inside of the tent is hygienic, and the entrance and exit zippers are double-layered to prevent insects from entering.<\/span><\/p>\n

The owner sometimes organizes campfires with other guests in the evenings.<\/span><\/p>\n

It's a great way to remember your trip.<\/span><\/p>\n
