Three Properties: Club House, Campground and Theme Park

FUJI GATE WAY has three main facilities: a club house where you can eat and drink and buy souvenirs, a camp field where you can stay overnight, and Fuji Subaru Land, a theme park in the middle of nature. New facilities are planned for the future.

FUJI GATEWAY Facility Layout

Club House (formerly Sylvans)

This clubhouse, which is the base of FUJI GATEWAY, is a former beer restaurant, “Sylvans”, which has been renovated into an open lounge where you can relax and enjoy the comfort while leaving the warm red brick building intact. It is a community space filled with “fun” in the Mt.Hokuroku area.

At the club house, there is a reception desk for camping and adventure tours provided by FUJI GATEWAY. In addition, you can purchase carefully selected local wines, craft beer brewed in the facility, more than 20 types of drinks, caps, T-shirts, and apparel items such as “FUJI GATEWAY” original goods.

There is a wooden deck area outdoors. It is a community space full of “fun” in the Fuji Hokuroku area where everyone from children to adults can relax while feeling nature.

The vast lawn area “FUJI GATEWAY CAMP FIELD” at the foot of Mt.Fuji is about 7000 square meters. It is a camp field where you can stay, such as a plan where you can enjoy camping even if you come empty-handed, a plan where you can enjoy camping at a spacious site, and a plan where you can enjoy it from the evening. Please check the official website for prices.

In addition, all-you-can-drink special craft beer brewed in the facility! All-you-can-use firewood (produced in Yamanashi Prefecture) for the bonfire, which is the main part of the camp!

You can fully enjoy the new camp field where everyone from children to adults can enjoy the great outdoors and experience various interactions and ways to spend time.

Fuji Adventure Cruise

A 90-minute trail hike cruise where you can easily enjoy the nature of Mt. Fuji. This is a full-fledged exploration cruise where you wear a helmet and lights with a cruise guide and challenge a natural cave that was created by the eruption of Mt. Fuji.

Fuji Retreat Cruise

The mysterious forest that surrounds Mt. Fuji, the sound of the fallen leaves being stepped on, the sunlight filtering through the trees, and the sound of the wind blowing down from Mt. Fuji. Step by step, step on your own feet and breathe deeply for the finest meditation time.

“When I was a child” Cruise

It is a cruising that goes in nature with e-Fatbike. The experience of pushing through off-road mountain roads and forests that are not normally used allows adults to play innocently in nature and enjoy the time when they can return to their childhood.

On Saturday, April 29, 2023, the FUJI GATEWAY HELLO Fest. was held as a ceremony event. Visitors were welcomed with a food marche using local ingredients, a workshop, and a free monitor tour of the FUJI GATEWAY CRUISE CLUB. They also plan to hold various other outdoor events.

A child who has just entered the first grade of elementary school challenges “chopping wood for the first time in his life”! Dad and Mom looked nervous as they grasped the heavy hammer with both hands and tried hard to chop the firewood with a timid “Ton-Ton-Ton” sound. While repeating it slowly, at the moment when it splits into two, the people around me unintentionally applauded!

Wearing a helmet and lights with a professional guide, go on a full-fledged exploration cruise that challenges a natural cave that was created with the eruption of Mt. Fuji. Talking to wild birds using a “bird call,” a tool that makes sounds similar to bird calls, and skillfully using a compass, “To be able to have such a wonderful experience with a parent and child is the best memory! ’ said the participants with sparkling eyes.

At the pre-opening stage, they are planning a cycling plan and a trail hiking cruise plan using “e-BIKE” that can be enjoyed with children of junior high school age. We are also planning a completely private cruise called “Omakase” for the grand opening of the summer. The route changes depending on the season and weather, and the CRUISE CLUB is packed with the charm of the foot of Mt. Fuji that can only be experienced in that moment.

Kamogawa Sea World, located in Kamogawa City, Chiba Prefecture, is a facility where you can enjoy about 11,000 sea creatures of 800 species, including killer whales, the king of the sea, dolphins, sea lions, and beluga whales. This facility, which functions as a theme park where you can enjoy performances by large animals, has a total floor area of 22,699 square meters, and is said to be the largest aquarium in the Kanto region.

The total floor area is 22,699 square meters, the largest in the Kanto region.

What Kamogawa Sea World values: Life

The various activities and life forms of aquatic organisms (organisms that live in water such as oceans, lakes, rivers, groundwater, etc), which have rich characteristics and ecology, greatly exceed our human imagination and give us surprises and impressions.

The purpose of this facility is to experience the importance of life through encounters with such aquatic organisms, and to enjoy learning about the relationship between knowledge about aquatic organisms and the natural environment.

Dolphin

Through each experience, including the exhibition environment that realistically reproduces the world of the sea and performances that bring out the intelligence and athletic abilities of the animals, Kamogawa Sea World hopes to share their feelings for the sea through the brilliance of life and heartfelt contact.

Sea Lion

Beluga

Summer School is a learning program for elementary school students that has been held since 1973, when Kamogawa Sea World opened.

In this program, you can not only receive lectures about sea creatures, but also observe killer whales and dolphins up close, touch starfish and hermit crabs, and learn through contact with real creatures, which is very popular. Yes, many children participate every year.

You can talk freely with the keepers

In 2001, Kamogawa Sea World established the Sea Turtle Beach, an exhibition facility for sea turtles. Since 2002, its have been working to protect the eggs of loggerhead sea turtles that have been laid in places that are not suitable for hatching.

The number of loggerhead turtles is thought to be declining year by year due to the deterioration of their habitat (decrease in spawning grounds, accidental ingestion of plastic waste floating in the sea, etc.).

Baby turtles hatch from protected eggs and head offshore

On May 29, 2019 (Wednesday), the white-sided dolphin “Diana” gave birth to a baby, and succeeded in breeding white-sided dolphins by artificial insemination for the first time in Japan.

Normally, the baby would start sucking the mother’s milk a few hours after giving birth, but the baby couldn’t suck on the nipple well, so Kamogawa Sea World decided that the baby wouldn’t be able to drink the mother’s milk as it was, so we switched to artificial feeding.

Artificially inseminated white-sided dolphin baby born Japan’s first!

Tojo coastline in front of the facility and the area around the anti-sand forest. These cleanup activities also aim to support the loggerhead turtles that come ashore to lay their eggs from June to August every year while striving to beautify the local environment.

As part of the Kamogawa Sea World 50th Anniversary Project, we recruited participants from members of the Dolphin Dream Club, a group of friends of Kamogawa Sea World, and worked with employees to clean up the Tojo coast that stretches out in front of Kamogawa Sea World.

Implemented the GOMI(Waste) ZERO campaign on the local beach. An opportunity to feel closer to the relationship between wildlife and their habitat.

These four initiatives of Kamogawa Sea World contribute to the goals of the SDGs. 1. Educational activities to get in touch with marine life 2. Wildlife conservation activities 3. Promotion and research of breeding in captivity 4. Cooperation with local communities, such as cleanup activities around coasts and sand protection forests
