Rokugou Star Forest Glamping Village
Rokugou Star Forest Glamping Village: Where Luxury Meets Wilderness in Furano
Imagine a place where nature meets indulgence—where you can recline in a plush dome tent, cradled by the surrounding Hokkaido forests, yet still savor fresh coffee and gourmet food at your fingertips. Welcome to Rokugou Star Forest Glamping Village, a delightful contradiction. This isn’t your average camping trip—oh no. It’s an experience where rugged outdoor adventures blend seamlessly with creature comforts, and where stargazing is as much of a treat as the sumptuous meals you’ll enjoy. Whether you fancy a crackling bonfire or an impeccably grilled local delicacy, Rokugou offers a dreamy combination of luxury and the wild outdoors.
The GBQ: Glamping’s Answer to Gourmet Grilling
Now, let’s talk food—because really, who wants to rough it when they can indulge? The Grand Barbecue (GBQ) at Rokugou Star Forest is an absolute must for anyone even remotely fond of eating. Forget about sausages on sticks; here you’re talking Furano’s finest, with pork steaks so juicy they’d make a vegetarian question their life choices. There’s also tender pork tenderloin, rich Ezo deer, and an array of seasonal vegetables fresh from the local fields—think corn, asparagus, and onions so good you’ll eat them without tears. It’s a feast that not only celebrates the region’s agriculture but does so in style, under a star-studded sky with a BBQ crackling away beside you. Fancy that!
Explore Furano: Activities to Feed Your Inner Adventurer
Rokugou Star Forest isn’t just about lounging around the fire, though you could do that all day if you wanted. The village is packed with activities that invite you to venture out and explore the rolling hills, rivers, and skies of Furano:
- Cycling: Ready to pedal? Grab a mountain bike or a junior cross bike and head off on an adventure. The village’s cycling routes guide you through some of Furano’s most picturesque landscapes, including the famous “From the North Country” filming location and the utterly charming Anpanman Shop. If ever there was a place to pretend you’re in a slow-motion movie montage, this is it.
- River Fishing: Ever fancied yourself as an angler? Even if you’ve never touched a fishing rod before, Rokugou’s river fishing setup makes it as easy as pie. Cast your line into crystal-clear streams stocked with char and rainbow trout. Beginners are welcome, and the kids can try their hand too—though whether they’ll catch anything is another matter entirely.
- Stargazing: When was the last time you really looked at the stars? Here, with the help of the Stargazing Terrace, you can admire the heavens like never before. Telescopes are provided, and the sky’s so clear you’ll probably see constellations you didn’t even know existed. On a perfect night, the stars practically twinkle back at you.
Dome Tents: Camping for Those Who Like Their Comfort
You might be “camping,” but let’s be honest—this is camping in the same way a chocolate fountain is technically “just a snack.” The dome tents at Rokugou Star Forest are a revelation for anyone who’s ever been traumatized by a sleeping bag or a lack of plumbing. Think air-conditioning, refrigerators, and squishy bean bag sofas. Each tent even comes with a private wooden deck, complete with a barbecue grill and a fire pit—perfect for grilling under the stars or cozying up with a crackling fire.
Here’s what else you can expect inside:
- Cozy bedding arrangements with options for two or four-person tents (more beds can be added if needed).
- Your own little luxury bubble with a coffee set for brewing your morning cup, because waking up without caffeine in the wilderness is simply barbaric.
Comforts in the Great Outdoors: Where Bonfires Meet Breakfast
Of course, the whole point of glamping is to enjoy nature without having to sacrifice the perks of modern living. And Rokugou nails that balance perfectly:
- Bonfire Evenings: As night falls, there’s nothing quite like wrapping yourself in a blanket, sinking into a comfy chair, and basking in the glow of a bonfire. Each tent has its own set-up, so you can enjoy the flames in private, toasting marshmallows or simply watching the embers dance into the night.
- Freshly Ground Coffee: There’s no need to rough it with instant coffee sachets here. The scent of freshly ground coffee greets you in the morning, awakening your senses along with the cool Hokkaido breeze. It’s the kind of morning that makes you feel incredibly smug about your life choices.
- Skillet Breakfast: Speaking of mornings, you don’t even have to leave your tent to enjoy breakfast. A simple, yet satisfying, skillet breakfast kit is provided. Fire up the stove and cook up eggs, bacon, or whatever your heart desires—all while breathing in the fresh forest air.
Shared Facilities: Because Community is Part of the Fun
While you might be quite content to lounge in your tent or roast something over the fire, Rokugou Star Forest has a few shared facilities that are worth mentioning—after all, this is a village, not a hermitage.
- Stargazing Terrace: You’ll find this specially designed platform waiting for you on a clear night, equipped with telescopes for the ultimate view of Furano’s sky. Truly, the stars shine a little brighter here.
- Upcoming Sauna: It’s still in the works, but soon there will be a barrel-shaped sauna made from Finnish wood, offering the perfect post-adventure relaxation. Exact opening date? To be confirmed, but it’s definitely something to look forward to.
- Private Shower Rooms: There’s no need to brave a cold outdoor shower here. The private facilities are stocked with all the essentials—shampoo, conditioner, body soap, hairdryers—you name it. You’ll leave just as fresh and clean as you came.
- Vending Machines: Because sometimes, after a long day of adventure, all you want is a quick, cold drink. These machines are available exclusively for guests, and they’re well-stocked.
All-Inclusive Plans: Where Simplicity Meets Adventure
For those who want the full experience without any hassle, Rokugou Star Forest offers all-inclusive accommodation plans. This means your meals, activities, and even your bike rental are covered, making your stay as seamless as it is immersive. Whether you’re biking through the countryside, grilling fresh vegetables, or simply unwinding by the fire, everything’s been thoughtfully prepared so you don’t have to worry about a thing.
So, if you’ve been dreaming of an escape that combines the magic of the outdoors with all the pampering of a five-star hotel, Rokugou Star Forest Glamping Village is calling your name.
