Tiny houses on wheels, minus the compromise. This tiny cabin village sits inside the Princeland resort area at the foot of Mt. Asama, where six units (two floor plans, sleeping three or four) come with their own fenced yard, floor heating and a kitchen stocked for actual cooking, not just reheating.

Aloha Glamping Resort Sakai, Ibaraki
Proof that Sakai, Ibaraki and Honolulu are officially sister cities: a Hawaiian-themed resort with four cottages and 12 tent sites, tiki interiors included. It sits next to citywave Tokyo, an indoor surf pool, so a beach day is on the table even landlocked in Ibaraki. Two cottages are dog-friendly with their own mini dog runs, and an outdoor sauna with lounge chairs rounds out the sales pitch for “getting away” without actually leaving the Kanto region.

Amenities run to salon-grade shampoo, and every unit has its own private bathroom, a small thing that matters more than it sounds like it should at a glamping site.
