Wakka no Mori, a glamping facility that opened in Shimizu Town in September 2022, is now in its first glamping season since its opening. We experienced glamping at Wakka no Mori, perfect for the summer!

Escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and relax with glamping

Wakka means "clean water" in the Ainu language. Wakka Forest is a vast expanse of nature nurtured by the clear water flowing from the Hidaka Mountains, and is home to three dome tents designed for extremely cold climates, the first of their kind in Japan, as well as an auto campsite.

Approximately 2 hours by car from Sapporo and 50 minutes from Obihiro Airport.

The temperature on this day is a comfortable 16 degrees.

When you arrive and look around, you will see the birch trees with green leaves, and you can smell the scent of the plants while listening to the birds singing. The forest is filled with birch trees, and you can take a deep breath to refresh yourself while listening to the birds singing and the trees swaying in the wind. You can spend a relaxing time away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

There are as many ways to enjoy saunas and forest bathing as you like!

At Wakka Forest, you can take a walk through the forest and river, and you can also enjoy a tent sauna as an option. With foxes peeking out and the sound of the river babbling, a sauna in the middle of nature is full of elements that will help you feel at ease!

We also recommend drinking outside with a glass of Hokkaido wine made at Aizawa Winery. It's a popular and very rare wine, but since Aizawa Winery is running it, you can drink almost all kinds of wine! Try comparing different sparkling and red wines. Whether you're with your partner, friends, or family, you can have a fun time in any way you like.
