However, in the last few decades the western idea of camping has become popular and there are places you can go to experience nature and camping.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One place I recommend is Karuizawa. It\u2019s known as a mountain resort town and popular for golf, skiing and hot springs as well as milder summers than the cities in Japan experience. The forests in Karuizawa are beautiful and lush. The campgrounds I\u2019ve been to in Japan are small compared to the US, but very nice. The facilities are clean and well maintained. There is usually a choice of a spot for a tent, or there are cabins. We were able to reserve a treehouse at the last place we camped. It was really fun!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/japansuki.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Karuizawa-treehouse-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/japansuki.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Karuizawa-treehouse-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/japansuki.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Karuizawa-treehouse-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/japansuki.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Karuizawa-treehouse-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/japansuki.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Karuizawa-treehouse-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/japansuki.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Karuizawa-treehouse-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>Treehouse cabin in Karuizawa<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Spending time in nature is very relaxing and refreshing.
