Ame Glamping; the all new adventure where you can enjoy the forest during the rainy season.

Hoshinoya Fuji, Japan’s first luxury campsite with a focus on glamping, has announced it will hold a rainy season glamping period from June 1 to July 15, where campers can enjoy the forest during the rainy season from the comfort of the glamp site.

Everybody will be able to appreciate the forest during the rainy season, clad in ponchos and boots available from the guest rooms. In addition, the glamp site will provide campers with an original guest bag which changes colour when it gets wet. In the forest, “floating” tipis will decorate the forest canopy, bringing vivid colours to the rainy season. Instead of wishing for the warmer, dryer months, you can look forward to the rainy season with Hoshinoya Fuji’s Ame Glamping.

Hoshinoya Fuji devised the idea of rain glamping with the hope that people can begin to enjoy and appreciate the splendor of the forest during the rainy season. In addition to being Japan’s first luxury campsite, the company added rain glamping so that people can enjoy the outdoors in all seasons without being affected by the weather.

Despite the drizzle, the forest during the rainy season is a very attractive scene. The colours of trees and leaves become more vivid in the damp and strong fresh fragrances fill the air.

During the Ame Glamping period, floating tipis will decorate the forest canopy. The floating tipis are made with a special fabric that changes colour and creates a pattern when wet. The pattern on the tipis will resemble vivid hydrangeas when wet.

Ponchos and rain boots will be provided to all guests. With three different poncho patterns, guests can enjoy Ame Glamping whilst wearing their favourite one. In addition to the poncho and boots, an original guest bag is provided. Made of the same fabric as the floating tipis, the bag changes colour when wet.

Guests will stay in a luxury glamping cabin, which comes with a bath and air conditioning. Even after adventuring, playing and enjoying the outdoors, guests can rest assured with the comfort of the cabin.
