Stylish Winter Camping in Japan One of the reasons for Japan's camping boom is the popularity of glamping facilities, which allow people to enjoy nature in a comfortable environment.

This includes not only clothing, but also things like sleeping bags, tents, and heating equipment. To enjoy winter camping in Japan safely, be sure to check your camping equipment in advance. A Must-Have for Winter Camping! Stay Warm With Proper Heating! When camping during the winter months, the temperature outside can drop very low and protection against the cold is a must. In addition to taking measures with bedding and clothing, you'll also need a proper heater. The Toyotomi Rainbow Stove (RL-250) is a great item for winter camping. It's also great for beginner campers and it heats the inside of a tent well with batteries and kerosene. In addition, the gentle light of the fire can be used as a lantern. [Video] 2:30 - Introduction of the Toyotomi Rainbow Stove Be Careful of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning! Photo：Winter camping It's easy to fall asleep with the heater on. However, continued use of a stove in a closed tent can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning! We recommend using a carbon monoxide alarm that can check carbon monoxide levels. A carbon monoxide alarm will alert you before carbon monoxide levels reach abnormal levels. If you want to enjoy winter camping safely, a carbon monoxide alarm is a must!

Winter Camping Essentials Photo：Relaxing in nature A variety of products are sold for winter camping. Let's take a look at some of the essentials. [Clothing] Camping is all about layering, with a base layer, middle layer, and outer layer to create a layer of air. In winter, choose clothing that takes into consideration temperature differences between morning and evening and that is also breathable. Also, be sure to bring neck warmers, gloves, and thick socks to keep your neck warm. [Winter Camping Gear] Don't forget to pack a winter blanket or proper sleeping bag. Hot water bottles and disposable body warmers are also useful. Even in winter, you'll still have to wash dishes, so thick rubber gloves are great to have to protect against the cold. The Charms of Winter Camping Photo：Kouan Campsite at night If you've never been winter camping before, you might be wondering "why would you want to camp in the cold?" First of all, unlike summer, there are no insects, such as mosquitoes and flies. And because it's cold in the winter, hot drinks and meals taste even better. Also, because the air is clearer in winter, you can take your time to gaze at the beautiful starry sky. Furthermore, camping in a snowy area means you can play in the snow, or even use the snow as a free cooler. You can also enjoy making lanterns out of snow, a fun experience that can only be experienced when winter camping. Consider bringing a shovel so you can try different activities like this! With all of this in mind, we ask, why wouldn't you want to camp in the cold? Enjoy Winter Camping to the Fullest: Choosing the Right Tent! Choosing the right tent is key to having a memorable winter camping experience. In addition to considering capacity with things like two-room tents with a tarp or teepee tents, it's also important to check how good the ventilation is, as you'll more than likely be using a heater. We also recommend choosing a full cotton tent or a tent with similar material that has good insulation to handle the winter weather. Nowadays, there are cotton tents that can be easily set up even by beginners, making winter camping easy for anyone to enjoy. Summary of Winter Camping in Japan Winter camping is a different kind of fun than that of summer camping. The most important thing to remember is to prepared for the cold weather.

Japan's Solo Camping Boom Due in part to the Corona pandemic, camping has become a popular way to get outside and enjoy nature and the outdoors in Japan. Traditionally, camping was often a family or group activity, but "solo camping" has been on the rise as of late. Solo camping is a great way to get away from the stresses of everyday life and enjoy some time alone in a quiet environment. Having some alone time to get in touch with nature can be relaxing, and it also provides an opportunity for self-reflection. In this article, we'll take a look at some useful gear for solo camping.

With Japan's current boom in solo camping, lots of useful and stylish solo camping gear is now available on the market.

Oze National Park is a vast area of natural marshlands that spans four prefectures: Fukushima prefecture, Gunma prefecture, Niigata prefecture, and Tochigi prefecture. Oze is famous for Ozegahara, a marshland on the Gunma side, but the route that enters Oze from the Fukushima prefecture side is called Fukushima Oze, and it has also been gaining popularity as a sightseeing route full of natural scenery. In this video, you can see two women trekking the mountain while traveling around Fukushima Oze.

Hiuchigatake. There is also an open-air outdoors bath, so you can spend an excellent time bathing while gazing at the vast nature.

There are hiking tours, outdoor events, stage shows and workshops, and markets where you can shop for outdoor goods, so we recommend lining up your trip to visit Fukushima Oze at the time of this event. If you're looking to enjoy delicious food in Oze, we recommend Aizu's famous mountain dish, "Tachi-soba." At Mini Oze Park, you can buy a mysterious dessert called "salamander gelato" (サンショウウオジェラート).
