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.
