Hoshinoya Fuji, located in Fujikawaguchiko, Yamanashi Prefecture, is running the "Early Summer Forest Glamping Stay" from May 9 to July 27, 2026. Situated within Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park at an elevation of 840 to 940 meters, the resort presents a lineup of seasonal activities and dining options designed to let guests enjoy the lively early summer forest.
As summer approaches, the forest fills with a gradient of greens — the deep tones of conifers blending with the fresh yellow-green of young deciduous leaves. Thanks to the higher elevation, mornings and evenings are naturally cool, making it a comfortable setting for walks and time spent outdoors.
Forest Sweets Festa: Eight Fruits of Yamanashi
The "Forest Sweets Festa" is an afternoon gathering at the Cloud Terrace where guests can choose their own seat and enjoy sweets and drinks at their own pace. The menu features eight small sweets inspired by the "Koshu Hacchin-ka" — eight traditional fruits of Yamanashi cultivated since the Edo period — including a peach mousse and a grape butter sandwich. Refreshing cold-brew iced tea accompanies the tasting.

Early Summer Forest Discover Walk
In the morning, guests can join a glamping master on the "Early Summer Forest Discover Walk," heading into a trail where dew-covered young leaves catch the morning sun. Along the way, visitors can spot squirrel tracks, listen for summer cicadas, and take in the energy of the forest coming alive. The walk is designed to be accessible and refreshing.
- Hours: Two sessions — 9:30 AM and 9:50 AM
- Price: Free
- Reservation: Not required
Sunset Beer Deck: Cooling Down in the Shade
As the forest breeze picks up in the early evening, the Cloud Terrace hosts the "Sunset Beer Deck," where guests can settle into reclining chairs and enjoy a beer as the day winds down. The featured drink is a beer cocktail made with "Peach Ginger Syrup" — a combination of ripe peach and sharp ginger — pairing fruity sweetness with a refreshing kick.
- Hours: 5:30 PM–7:00 PM
- Price: Free (non-alcoholic cocktails also available)
- Reservation: Not required
Forest Coffee Shop: A Campfire Morning
The "Forest Coffee Shop" runs each morning during the program period, serving deep-roasted coffee brewed over a campfire alongside colorful light bites. The food options include an avocado pizza toast and a cacao bowl topped with seasonal fruit. The sounds and scent of the fire set the scene for the start of the day.
- Hours: 8:00 AM–9:30 AM
- Price: Light bites (pizza toast / cacao bowl) ¥1,452 each (tax and service included)
- Reservation: Not required
Forest Postcard Making: Sketching the Early Summer Scenery
The "Forest Postcard Making" activity invites guests to capture the early summer forest — its rich greens and drifting clouds — in drawings or words. Colored pencils and postcards are pre-loaded in the glamping backpack in each cabin. Guests can find their favorite spot around the cabin or the Cloud Terrace to create a personal memento of their stay.
