“BEANSTALK” where the rooftop private garden installed a glamping tent

2021.03.30

The rooftop of Yokohama Hostel Village, a guesthouse for backpackers in Japan and overseas, has been renewed with BEANSTALK, an urban glamping space where you can easily enjoy extraordinary experiences without having to go out. Started selling as a set with a regular guesthouse accommodation plan.

Although there are no mountains, rivers, or nature, it will be a space where you can easily experience extraordinary things in the vicinity, located near the center of Yokohama such as Minatomirai.

“I want to enjoy the outdoors, but it’s hard to go out and prepare.” Camping and outdoor activities have some inconveniences, but all the preparations are complete, so beginners and women can rest assured. In addition, each tent will be a private space that is divided into sections so that customers can enjoy it even in the case of coronavirus.

The spread of digital devices has enriched our lives. On the other hand, in an era where we continue to receive a large amount of information every day and always live with digital. I think it is difficult for us living in the present age to make “time to do nothing”.
In such an era, you should feel a special relaxing time, reading while swaying in a hammock, talking while watching the shimmering bonfire flames.
