Odagiri Garden is a vast 40,000m2 site with about 20 tree houses of different shapes. It's lush and there's a stream, so it looks great for kids! You can watch the stars while having a BBQ at night☆ The tree houses are lined up and it's a very picturesque place. You can choose your favorite tree house when you make a reservation and stay there! I was surprised that it was handmade. The owner, an old man, runs it by himself. It seems that there is no bath but a shared flush toilet. But, you should really think of it as a wooden box and prepare! There are no beds or refrigerators, so you should bring camping gear! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~🌲~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ point 💫You should prepare as if you were going camping 💫Even in May, the temperature drops in the mornings and evenings, so be sure to bring the proper gear. I think a winter sleeping bag is best. 💫Even if they say they have sleeping bags, they are mostly rented out, so you should expect that they won't be available. 💫By the way, I was a total camping novice and stayed there with only light equipment, and it was so cold I almost died. 💫You can get a discount on the bathing facilities at nearby hotels. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~🌲~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Treehouse Village Odagiri Garden 📍4597-12 Takaku-he, Nasu-machi, Nasu-gun 🚗8.8km from Nasu Kogen Smart IC ⏰Check-in 12:00~ Check-out 12:00 📞Make reservations by phone 9:00~21:00 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~🫧~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ※This information is current, so please check it out before you go!

And above all, the hot spring♨The slightly brown, cloudy water is said to have a skin-beautifying effect❣ This is a recommended glamping facility that can be enjoyed by couples, families, and friends! 📍5461-1 Takaku-ko, Nasu-machi, Nasu-gun, Tochigi Prefecture 325-0304 #breathtakingview #glamping #Nasu #trip2022
