Couscous Glamping Manazuru

April 2025: Got there an hour before check in and was informed that while my tent was ready that I would have to pay 1,000 Yen for the extra hour. I had a hire car so went back into town and came back later. Not the best introduction to the site. Very nice tent, good beds and pillows with a heater for the cold nights. Bathroom facilities were clean. Food very much aimed at local guests rather than foreigners. Note that there is some noise from overhead planes, the railway and motorbikes using the road below. Nothing deafening but it spoils the tranquility. Overall a good experience.

A Gem Cous Cous is a gem and I feel lucky I found it. It is located in the woods uphill from a non-touristy workaday fishing town. Each glampsite is beautifully furnished, very comfortable and has its own gas BBQ grill. Meals are served on your own patio or at the beautiful cafe onsite, your choice. Food is gourmet.

What a meal! At night, the staff light a wood bonfire in the center of camp. They offer make-your-own S’mores on the menu. Wow! Service is impeccable. Staff was polite, respectful of my privacy and spoke American. The restroom and bathrooms are Japan-clean. Can’t ask for more. It’s off the beaten path, but it was a vacation from a vacation for me. Thank you, Cous Cous.

設備は全体的に清潔でスタッフさんの感じがとても良かった。テントは後方に少しカビのようなものがあるが、許容範囲。トイレ、洗面所もとても清潔に保たれていたのが高ポイント。とても風が強く寒い日だったので、食事は凍えながら食べたが、テント内はヒーターとホットカーペットで暖かく過ごせました。 食事もとてもオシャレでおいしく、テンションがあがりました。子どもたちはオシャレな前菜がちょっと苦手だったようで、あまり手をつけなかったため残してしまって申し訳なかったです。子どもたちに持参した即席ラーメンをテラスのガスグリルで調理したが冷たい強風でなかなかお湯が沸かず…するとスタッフさんが「こっちの方がタフなのでどうぞ」とカセットガスコンロを持ってきてくださって感激しました。 強風で焚き火もできないかと思ったが、気づいたらついていて嬉しかったです。子どもも薪を入れたり花火をして焚き火体験を楽しみました。 敷地が広すぎず、移動が楽な点も良かった。初めてのグランピングだしたが、また気候の良い時期に伺いたいと思いました。
