The French-born Kangoo assists people with their hobbies and lifestyle.
Vol.13 / BEAMS PR Team

Renault's KANGOO, which was redesigned this spring, has evolved into an even more attractive vehicle. The KANGOO's excellent load capacity, which is synonymous with its name, has been further improved, and its driving performance has also been upgraded. Even the design has been reborn with a sharp new look. Riding in the new Kangoo were members of the PR team from BEAMS, one of Japan's leading select stores. They set off for "Fuji Gateway," an adventure experience facility located at the foot of Mount Fuji in Yamanashi Prefecture, to make their last summer memories of the year.

The grass is beautiful , and it is fun to lay out and play together.

The three arrived at "FUJI GATEWAY" safely and safely. This facility is operated by "BEAMS" and offers a variety of activities.

Fuji Kanko Kaihatsu, which operates leisure facilities and real estate businesses in Yamanashi Prefecture, Amuse, a comprehensive entertainment company with a wide range of artists, and us, BEAMS, are jointly managing this project. We call it an "adventure experience facility," but it is not just a place to camp, it is a facility where people can enjoy the towns and places of interest around Mt. Fuji, and to experience a variety of things through a number of activities.

Within the spacious grounds, there is a campground with beautiful lawns, a clubhouse for shopping and dining, and the adjacent Fuji Subaru Land, a theme park with many attractions for families, offering many tricks for both children and adults to enjoy.

The three of us parked the "Kangoo" in the reserved lot and immediately set up the camp site. In addition to the camping gear for the three of them, the car was also loaded with a Molucco and other playthings.

Unlike the sweltering heat of the city, the campsite is cool and pleasant. Setting up camp proceeded smoothly, and smiles naturally appeared on the faces of campers.

The camp site was set up in no time at all, with Maru-san, an expert in camping, giving directions to Momoshi-san, the driver, and Inagaki-san, the guide for the day and in charge of "FUJI GATEWAY" PR. All three were assigned different roles, creating a good teamwork.

. since I was a little girl, I used to go camping with my parents. That had a big influence on me. I like to collect gear, and it's fun to try things out in the field. Also, campfires and coffee are the best part of camping. It's as if I go out to campgrounds just to enjoy them.

As a camping enthusiast, Mr. Maru has visited various facilities in the past. How does "FUJI GATEWAY" look like in his eyes?

." "Each lot is very spacious, so families with children will feel right at home here. The lawn is very well maintained, so it's comfortable to lie on, and it's fun for everyone to play together. I also found the water supply to be clean, so I think it is a very comfortable facility.

After taking a break for a coffee break after setting up, everyone played the popular game of Molok. The game requires simple movements to knock down wooden pins, but this is surprisingly difficult and does not go according to the target. The game was heated, and the three participants deepened their friendship beyond the boundaries of seniority and juniority. This is one of the benefits of the camp.

After working out and getting hungry, the three came to the facility's clubhouse for lunch. Here, in addition to simple snacks and drinks, original apparel and goods, souvenirs featuring Yamanashi Prefecture's attractions are sold. Fruit juices and syrups are also available, and there is plenty to see and do. Of course, there is also a rest area, so it is recommended for those who want to spend time indoors.

Originally a beer restaurant, this place also serves craft beer brewed on the premises, but I gave up beer this time because I had to drive. By the way, guests can drink as much as they want, depending on their plan.

And here is today's lunch. Falafel pita sandwiches filled with vegetables and herbs from the northern foothills of Fuji, supervised by the popular restaurant "La Pita de Maison Sainte Canto Cinq" in Yoyogi Uehara, Tokyo , and special clam chowder supervised by Michelin chef Tomohiro Maruyama. We will have a luxurious lunch in the great outdoors.

. "At first glance, this pita sandwich looks healthy with more vegetables, but it's surprisingly hearty with falafel in it as well. The flavor is perfect, it's insanely delicious!" (Hundreds)

. it goes great with clam chowder, too. . This campground is located at a relatively high altitude, so it gets cold in the mornings and evenings. . That's one of our goals. That's one of our goals. The clubhouse also sells donuts, bread, and snacks, so you can combine them with whatever you like.

While enjoying a delicious lunch, they decide what to do in the afternoon. As Inagaki said, "I want people to use this place as a base to enjoy the towns and places of interest around Mt. Fuji," he had also prepared a booklet with recommendations for nearby spots and other attractive ways to enjoy the facility. Looking at the booklet, the three of us decided to head out to Lake Kawaguchi after lunch. Here, too, the "Kangoo" would come into its own.
