Mt. Shakushi Gateway Camp, a glamping site in Fujiyoshida City, Yamanashi Prefecture, with Mt. Fuji directly in view, has renewed its popular "Luxury 4-Bed" dome room into a larger and more comfortable space. To mark the renewal, a special stay plan with up to 30% off on select dates is on sale for all rooms. The camp also offers a "Mt. Fuji Sauna Plan" with five free perks, a Christmas-only BBQ featuring whole roast chicken, and a New Year BBQ with lobster, scallops, and clams.
Luxury 4-Bed Dome Renewed with More Space and Western-Style Beds
Before renewal: a 6 m-diameter dome furnished with Japanese-style beds.
After renewal: a 7 m-diameter dome with Western-style beds. (The image is a rendering of the completed room.)
The Luxury 4-Bed room, which faces Mt. Fuji head-on, now has a dome diameter expanded from 6 m to 7 m, and its Japanese-style beds have been replaced with Western-style beds. The change also makes it easier to sit down and stand up, aiming at a room that guests of a wide range of ages can use comfortably.
Guests can relax with family or loved ones while looking out at Mt. Fuji through the window, and enjoy the views from this Mt. Shakushi site in the renewed room.
