I Looked Into Izu Coco Glamping Izu Kogen

I've looked into a few facilities as potential detour spots for hotel-cations before. This is an ongoing series I keep going, ostensibly to prepare for those days when a camping trip suddenly shifts into a hot spring stay.

This time I looked into Izu Coco Glamping Izu Kogen. I came across a listing mentioning six types of private baths fed straight from the hot spring source, and I figured even an indoor type like me could enjoy a bit of that hot spring hopping feeling, so I decided to dig through the official website.

The Short Version

It looks like a glamping facility where each tent lets you enjoy six types of private hot spring baths, giving you plenty of that hot spring hopping feeling.
Rakuten Mobile's signal came back as a C rating in this check, so it might be reassuring to confirm it in advance.

I've summarized the details below.

It Seems Like Glamping Where You Can Enjoy Natural Hot Spring Hopping

Izu Coco Glamping Izu Kogen is apparently a glamping facility located in the Izu Kogen area of Ito City, Shizuoka Prefecture. What stands out is that it offers six types of private baths using natural hot spring water drawn from 1,200 meters within the property. This source apparently comes from the same spring used by an affiliated property, a five-star hot spring inn in Yokohama, which reportedly ranked in the top three among 73 five-star hot spring inns. The water is also said to be expected to help with fatigue recovery and poor circulation.

There appear to be three types of stay plans: a room-only plan with no meals where you can bring your own food, a regular plan that includes a roughly 30-item BBQ dinner plus breakfast, and a premium plan that adds spiny lobster and abalone on top of that. However, specific pricing wasn't listed in the main text of the official site, so it seems you'd need to check the online reservation system along with actual availability.

Honestly, six types of private baths really caught my attention. Even for someone like me who doesn't drive, if I can do hot spring hopping right from the tent, that lowers the barrier quite a bit.

Both Inside and Outside the Tents Seem Surprisingly Flexible

Each tent apparently has an attached shower room and toilet, plus heating and cooling, a humidifier, and an air purifier, so it seems like a comfortable place to stay regardless of the season. The tent entrance uses a smart lock, making it a fully private space. Check-in is apparently self-service using a code sent by email the day before, which actually felt easier for someone like me who isn't great with face-to-face interactions. That said, late checkout isn't possible, and going past the time apparently triggers an automatic notification to the cleaning staff, so that's worth keeping in mind.

BBQ: You can apparently enjoy BBQ using Shizuoka beef and seafood on a private deck, and fire pit rentals are also available
Dog run: There's apparently a dedicated tent and page for staying with dogs
Stargazing and fireworks: A star chart is provided, and bringing your own handheld fireworks is also mentioned, with free bucket rentals available
Wi-Fi: Apparently available in each tent
Parking: There's a note that the road past the gate is quite steep, and some tent parking spots have narrow road widths, so drivers who aren't confident might want to be a bit careful

As for access, the official site mentions it's about 15 minutes by taxi from Ito Station and about 10 minutes from Kawana Station. Given that it's in the Izu Kogen area, checking information from the Ito Onsen Tourist Association could also be helpful for exploring the surrounding area.

Rakuten Mobile Signal Conditions

When I checked this facility's location using the official "my area Communication Simulation" tool, the overall rating came back as a "C".

Since Izu Kogen is a mountainous area, it seems like a good idea to check the network environment in advance. Since this facility is designed for relaxing in the tent, it might be reassuring to plan ahead based on how you intend to use your connection during your stay. If you're expecting any important calls or messages, or want to watch videos for extended periods, checking the signal conditions beforehand should make it easier to prepare.

I guess I just have to accept the C rating as it is. But since each tent apparently has Wi-Fi, it might not be too much of an issue if you're just there to enjoy the hot springs and glamping.
