Riverside Oasis
Minakami glamping resort by Canyons
The newly opened Minakami Riverside Oasis glamping (glamorous camping) area is perfectly located at the entrance to Joshinetsu National Park adjacent to Canyons Minakami Base. Surrounded by native forest in a secluded valley, the site overlooks the pure emerald green waters of the Yubiso River, one of the most picturesque rivers in the Minakami area.
In the daytime you can enjoy one of the many outdoor activities that Canyons has on offer or just relax at your private river setting and make the most of "the swimhole". In the evening enjoy a delicious BBQ of select local produce, sit by the fire and enjoy a panorama of stars.
