Glamp Village Setouchi Shimanami, a glamping resort located on Takane Island in Hiroshima Prefecture's Shimanami Kaido area, has announced a room renovation and the addition of new plans in June 2026. The renovated room is now called the "Family Dome," and a private tent sauna plan has also launched alongside a limited-time Lemon Fair.
About Glamp Village Setouchi Shimanami
Takane Island, where the resort is situated, spans just 5.57 km² in the Seto Inland Sea. Glamp Village Setouchi Shimanami comprises five small-house glamping accommodations set against a backdrop of calm ocean views. The property features large dome tents as well as Hiroshima Prefecture's first cocoon tents, with all rooms equipped with private bathrooms and toilets. Some rooms also welcome guests traveling with dogs, offering a private space with a dedicated dog run.
New Family Dome with Athletic Pool
One of the resort's rooms has been renovated into the "Family Dome," now featuring a private athletic pool. Guests of all ages can use the pool within the natural, open-air setting. The room is also fitted with a theater set and a hammock, offering relaxation options after time in the pool.

Limited-Time Lemon Fair (While Supplies Last)
To mark the renovation, the resort is holding a Lemon Fair. Guests receive complimentary locally-grown Setoda lemons upon check-in. The lemons can be enjoyed in drinks such as lemon sour or lemon beer, and a lemon squash-making activity is also available during the event. The fair continues while supplies last.
Private Sauna Plan: One Group Per Day, Up to 4 Guests
A private tent sauna plan has been added to the resort's offerings, limited to one group per day. Up to four guests can use the exclusive sauna tent between 3:00 PM and 8:00 PM. The plan supports self-löyly and includes a firewood set, making it accessible to first-time sauna users as well.
