New Experience: Stay in a Spherical Tent Floating in the Forests of Shizuoka, Japan

By: Little Traveler

With the refreshing autumn breeze, it’s time to prepare for hiking and camping again. If you love outdoor adventures during your travels, the latest must-try experience isinthe spherical tents among the forests of Shizuoka, Japan. The reason? The first accommodation park, “INN THE PARK,” has just opened in Numazu City.

Located within a 600,000-square-meter natural forest, INN THE PARK focuses on three main elements: lodging, dining, and nature experiences. It has redefined the concept of staying in a park by transforming a space originally opened 30 years ago for youth to engage with nature into a “park you can stay in.”

The most eye-catching feature in the forest is undoubtedly the white spherical tents suspended directly among the trees, offering an authentic zero-distance experience of living in nature. However, to support environmental conservation, there are only three spherical tents and one suspended spherical tent available, each accommodating just two adults—so book quickly if you want to stay in one. Even if you can’t secure a spherical tent, don’t be disappointed, as there are two other lodging options. One is a traditional lodge-style room, and the other features spherical tents set up on wooden platforms, catering to different traveler needs.

Beyond lodging, INN THE PARK also hosts a variety of activities and workshops such as stargazing, photography classes, essential oil aromatherapy, and outdoor cooking, allowing visitors to fully immerse themselves in nature.
