We offer the unique charms of a winter stay, an experience only possible under the cold sky.

Outdoor Kotatsu

In the observation space, a popular spot for photography, we have set up a tatami area with an unbelievable addition – a “kotatsu” (a traditional Japanese heated table)! Complete with a roof, this rare outdoor kotatsu has become a hit. Our new service, allowing you to cozy up and enjoy the stunning views of Mount Fuji, has already become popular with international travelers.

The facility also includes warm water showers, a range of amenities, separate toilets for men and women, and spacious washbasins. This makes outdoor experiences comfortable and worry-free all year round, even for families with children or women who are new to camping.

About Mt.Shakushi Gateway Camp

Mt.Shakushi Gateway Camp, a glamping facility, opened in early summer 2019 in Fujikawaguchiko Town, Yamanashi Prefecture. Located on the slopes of the popular trekking destination, Shakushi Mountain, the camp is surrounded by a rich natural environment with a magnificent view of Mount Fuji and the Southern Alps in the distance. Guests can enjoy the stunning sunsets at the foot of Mount Fuji and the beautiful nightscape of the city lights under a star-filled sky after dark.

With its prime location, one of the best in Japan, the camp features 14 dome tents. These double-insulated tents with heating and cooling offer a comfortable stay. Guests can enjoy a luxurious outdoor experience, including stays in these exceptional dome tents and baths in the private open-air bath made of natural minerals, offering spectacular views.

The camp has gained popularity domestically and internationally, partly due to being a location for drama filming. Last year, responding to the high demand and waitlists, we added 4 ‘Grand Suite’ rooms with superior views, a barrel sauna with an outstanding view, and a private open-air bath.
