Tiny Garden Tateshina brings a new form of camping.

TINY GARDEN Tateshina, an overnight stay facility opened by "Urban Research" in September 2019. This is not a hotel nor an inn. . it is not a campground either, although camping is allowed. Of course, it is not a guesthouse or a B&B, either. It is a place where you can enjoy clothing, food, shelter, and recreation through the medium of nature while staying overnight. Here is a report on this "small garden" at an altitude of 1,250 meters, surrounded by clean air and white birch trees, from every corner of the property.

The cabin is attractive for its balance of inside and outside space.

The camping area is surrounded by white birches, and of course there are tent sites, but the cabin building is the best place to stay.

A series of cabins of the same shape.

There are three types of lodges (A, B, and C), and the number of options is expected to increase in the future.

Type A is for families. Perfect for enjoying nature with children. The view from the bed by the window is exceptional when you wake up!

Type B is intended for use by friends or co-workers, and has two bunk beds.

Type C, with minimal renovations, is attractive for its freedom of use.

Camping is really hard to prepare for. But here, you can enjoy the great outdoors and sleep in a comfortable space, perfect for outdoor beginners. The common areas are clean and stress-free.

Toilets and cooking facilities that were not in the original campground.
The mossy arched roof contrasts beautifully with the stainless steel and other new construction materials.

TGT" was renovated to bring out the best of its lakeside location. The old and new are connected, the lake and its other side are connected, and people are connected. This is something you can never experience in the city.
