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.

Three activities that can only be experienced "in the moment.

The three have safely returned to "FUJI GATEWAY". They are now planning to try some of the activities that the facility has prepared for them. What will it be like?

We came to "RECEPTION / OUTDOOR SHOP" located at the far end of the campground. Here, outdoor goods selected by BEAMS, items from the popular Tokyo bicycle shop BLUE LUG, and other carefully selected goods ideal for outdoor activities and cycling are packed into a small space, stimulating the desire to buy.

The "CRUISE CLUB," an activity tour content, offers three plans based on the theme of "experiences that can only be had in that moment," and serves as a reception desk for these plans. The first is a detoxification retreat in the Sea of Trees, the second is an e-bike cruise through nature, and the third is an exploratory trail hike to a natural cave in the Sea of Trees, which they will experience this time. Each of these activities will be led by a professional guide who will lead you to an unknown experience.

The three of us are all ready to go, clad in the items given to us by the guide. They head for the sea of trees immediately.

Fuji eruption covered the forest, and nature grew back on top of the lava, giving the area its present appearance. The cave was created when lava flowed over the trees that were originally there, and the trees burned up, creating a cavity. . It is a place where one can visually sense the layers of time.

. you can feel the negative ions when you are in the sea of trees. Once you step into the forest, you can feel the texture of the forest, and the air and aroma you inhale are totally different. On the way, our guide found deer tracks, which made me realize that we were really in the midst of real nature" (Inagaki).

When you actually enter the cave, the air changes even more. Unlike in the humid forest, the air is cool and cool. The dark and narrow cave is very exciting. Curious and adventurous people should definitely try this activity.

The trail hike takes about 90 minutes. The guide will lead you around several caves, and the interesting and informative commentary that will be given at key points is a great attraction.

"After we got out of the cave, the guide asked me, 'Do you know which way is Mt. Fuji?' I looked up at the sky and couldn't see the direction. When I looked up at the sky, I couldn't see the direction because of the trees, so I pointed in the right direction, but it was actually in the direction of the cave's hole, because that is the direction from which the lava came. . Because that is the direction from which the lava came. I enjoyed learning about nature in this way.

I thought it would be great if adults and children could play together," said Momoshi.

. "Today we hiked the trail after it rained, but we change the route we take depending on the weather and conditions of the day. . So, if you come back another day, you will have a different experience. The only way to fully enjoy this attraction is to feel it in your body, so I hope you will come visit us.
