Ako Seaside Park Glamping, located within Ako Seaside Park in Ako City, Hyogo Prefecture, is running a "Summer Vacation Special Plan" for stays between July 20 and August 31, 2026 (excluding Saturdays and the Obon holiday period). The plan comes with two complimentary gifts that highlight the flavors and culture of the local area.
Summer Vacation Special Plan Details
The plan includes two complimentary gifts exclusive to this booking:
- "Natsumi" Fresh Oysters (one per adult) – sourced directly from local Ako restaurant Kuidouraku, these are a rare brand oyster grown to be plump and creamy during summer, overturning the common assumption that oysters are best enjoyed only in winter.
- Ako Local Specialty Set (one set per group) – a curated selection featuring large-grain Ako salt and other local products, including "Shijushichimi" (47 Spices), a distinctive condiment created in honor of the 47 Ako samurai retainers and a beloved piece of local culture.

Highlights of Ako Seaside Park Glamping
1. A Leisure Destination on a Grand Scale – Staying Inside Ako Seaside Park
The glamping facility sits inside Ako Seaside Park, one of the largest leisure parks in western Japan with grounds roughly equivalent to 18 Koshien baseball stadiums. Once outside the glamping area, guests have access to large athletic courses, an amusement park, and a range of other activities surrounded by fresh sea breezes and greenery. The experience of "staying inside a park" makes it a popular destination for summer family and couple trips.
2. Three Room Types to Choose From – All Rooms Air-Conditioned with Free Drinks
Three accommodation types are available: the open-air "Dome Tent," the well-equipped "Cottage" with a private toilet, shower, and kitchen, and the "Dog Villa" designed for guests traveling with their dogs. All rooms come with full air-conditioning, making them comfortable even in the summer heat for families with young children or first-time glamping guests. All drinks in the in-room refrigerator – both alcoholic and non-alcoholic – are provided free of charge.
3. Gourmet BBQ with Local Ako Ingredients
Guests can choose from two BBQ courses featuring carefully selected domestic Japanese black wagyu and Hyogo's brand beef "Himeji Wagyu." In addition to the plan's complimentary Natsumi oysters, optional add-ons include a fresh seafood platter sourced directly from Ako's well-known restaurant Kuidouraku.
4. Dog Villas with Private Dog Runs (Limited to 4 Units)
Each Dog Villa unit features a private dog run of over 100 square meters, along with a dedicated dining area where guests and their dogs can enjoy BBQ together. Two of the four Dog Villa units are also equipped with a full private sauna, allowing guests to unwind at their own pace.
5. Activities for All Ages
The facility offers a variety of free-to-borrow games and outdoor equipment, including educational games, card games, dodgebee, and jazzminton. Within the expansive Ako Seaside Park, guests can also enjoy nature walks and other activities from check-in to check-out, making it well-suited for family summer trips.
