The operating company, Ecologic, started an ecotour for inbound tourists in 2017 in its local area, Fujinomiya, based on its experience in developing ecotourism around the world. Company offers Mt. Fuji nature and cultural experience eco tours (En-Ya Mt. Fuji Ecotours), etc., and are highly rated especially by customers from Europe, the United States, and Australia.

Another major feature of this service is that you can enjoy an eco-tour of Fujinomiya at “Mt. Fuji Satoyama Vacation,” a place where people from all over the world and Japanese people can talk to each other while being watched over by Mt. Fuji.

Staying in a glamping tent with a view of the dynamic view of Mt. Fuji, and eco-tours where you can feel the four seasons of Satoyama and the locals, you can enjoy a memorable camping experience that you cannot experience anywhere else.

For guests, programs such as early morning tours and starry sky observation are also available. In order for you to enjoy glamping to your heart’s content in a safe and secure environment, all glamping facilities and eco tour experiences are reserved for private groups (4 to 8 people) only. You can enjoy it in groups such as friends and family. Of course pets are allowed.

Some people may have an image of glamping as “the campsite is full of people, and various people are using toilets and showers, so I’m worried about hygiene.” Mt.Fuji Satoyama Vacation offers luxurious private shower rooms and toilets that can be used by groups. In addition, we offer a bell tent decorated with local crafts, a cafeteria, and free fair trade coffee, so you can enjoy glamping with peace of mind.

One of the attractions of glamping is making a bonfire and encountering nature’s creatures. You can enjoy local production for local consumption BBQ (locally grown vegetables and Asagiri meat) around the BBQ grill.

Currently (November 2021), we offer 5 eco-tour programs that enjoy local culture and nature, which are highly evaluated by the world.

This is an eco-tour that values the “Japanese view of nature” by collaborating with local people and meeting them. Eco-tours provided by Ecologic have been introduced as representatives of Japan in the world-famous tourism book “Lonely Planet: Sustainable Escape.”

Mr. Masanori Shintani, the representative of Ecologic, was the first Japanese person to be involved in ecotourism projects on the island of Hawaii, and is also one of the pioneers of ecotourism in Japan. He has worked as an eco tour guide and consultant in Japan and overseas, and established Ecologic in 2008. By March 2021, he is supporting developing countries in 14 countries as an ecotourism expert at international organizations such as JICA.

This method is widely used as an effective technique in various fields, and Ecologic conducts interpretation training not only in Japan but also around the world.

Private glamping provided by Ecologic where you can enjoy the seasonal views of Mt. Fuji and Satoyama.
