Overview
The Forest Garden KIMINOMORI is a stylish glamping and barbecue venue in the residential neighborhood of Kiminomori in Togane City, Chiba Prefecture. Opened in May 2021, it brings a curated outdoor dining and overnight experience to an area better known for quiet suburban life, proving that memorable glamping does not require a remote mountain setting.
Overnight guests stay in furnished glamping tents that accommodate two to four adults, with space for up to two additional children under twelve. Each site is designed for privacy and comfort, with quality bedding and ambient lighting. The real highlight, however, is the food. Evening barbecue courses feature premium cuts of meat, fresh seasonal seafood, and locally sourced vegetables, all grilled at your private station. Guests also get to make their own wood-fired pizza from scratch—an activity that delights children and adults alike. Breakfast is included in overnight plans, ensuring a leisurely start to the next morning.
Beyond eating and sleeping, KIMINOMORI offers yoga sessions under the trees and outdoor movie screenings that create a festival-like atmosphere on select evenings. The facility is thoughtfully landscaped with greenery that softens the suburban surroundings and fosters a genuine sense of escape.
Access is remarkably convenient. By car the site is just two minutes from Yamada Interchange on the Chiba-Togane Road and five minutes from Togane Interchange via the Ken-O Expressway, putting it roughly one hour from central Tokyo. Train travelers can ride the JR Limited Express to Oami Station in forty-four minutes, then catch a short bus to the nearby medical center stop.
For visitors who want a polished glamping experience with excellent food, creative activities, and minimal travel time, The Forest Garden KIMINOMORI is a compelling option that punches well above its weight.
