Recommended for girls’ trips! Spend a luxurious time relaxing on Ikuchi island.
Citrus Park Setoda, a citrus-themed park, reopened in August 2022. On a small hill where 1,300 citrus trees bloom, “LEMON FARM GLAMPING Shimanami” has been established. Here, you can enjoy glamping with a breathtaking view of the Seto Inland Sea and the islands floating on it.
This time, a pair of close friends who are experiencing glamping for the first time as a girls’ trip came to visit Lemon Farm Glamping!
Let’s start with a welcome drink and a toast♪
The administration building offers three types of welcome drinks: lemon water, orange juice, and oolong tea. Citrus Park is known for its citrus fruits, so the two chose lemon water and orange juice. With their welcome drinks in hand, they excitedly gazed out at the panoramic view of the Seto Inland Sea.
Girls’ talk at Sweet Villa
After enjoying the scenery for a while, it’s time to head to your room. Lemon Farm Glamping offers two types of rooms: dome tents and suite villas. The two of us, who wanted to “recharge from our daily fatigue,” booked the “Sauna Suite Villa” with a tent sauna.
Upon entering the spacious Suite Villa, the two exclaimed, “This is so stylish! I could live here!” and “I want this lighting in my home!” The room, decorated with colorful interior design, also sparked lively conversation among the women.
Experience “totono” in a Finnish-style sauna
The rooms with tent saunas allow guests to easily enjoy Finnish-style saunas. The two rented navy and gray ponchos and experienced a löyly for the first time. After working up a good sweat, they enjoyed the jacuzzi and sat in reclining chairs to enjoy the fresh air. “It was my first time experiencing a löyly, but I feel like my fatigue has been relieved. I think I’m going to get hooked on this feeling of ‘totonou’!” They seemed to really enjoy it.
Perfect for girls’ trips! Glamping BBQ that’s sure to look great on social media
Dinner is a glamping BBQ featuring abundant use of citrus fruits and fresh vegetables from Ikuchi Island, as well as seafood caught in the Seto Inland Sea.
The menu features appetizers made with “Seto Inland Sea Lemon Jewelry”—small yellow beads resembling lemons—salads dressed with pink grapefruit and lemon dressing, a generous sirloin steak, and colorful skillet dishes, all showcasing Ikuchi Island’s renowned citrus fruits and vegetables. The visually stunning, Instagram-worthy dishes elicited cheers from the two guests.
The two women, who had brought rosé wine for their special girls’ trip, raised their glasses to toast the luxurious glamping BBQ. The fried shrimp pizza was baked in the pizza oven on the deck space by the two women. They carefully placed the pizza on a parlor and cautiously put it into the oven. Upon seeing the finished pizza, they exclaimed, “It looks so delicious, I can’t believe I made it myself!” They enjoyed their first experience making pizza in a pizza oven.
What are your impressions of your first glamping trip with Lemon Farm Glamping?
“First of all, the changing scenery of the sun and sea over time was impressive. The interior of the Sweet Villa was also very beautiful, and we were able to enjoy a sense of being away from everyday life. With such a beautiful view and open private space, I don’t think there is anywhere else like it, so I want to recommend it to my friends when I get back!” said the two.
Lemon Farm Glamping offers a luxurious experience where you can relax and enjoy the peaceful ocean view. It is perfect for girls’ trips, couples’ trips, family trips, and even trips with pets. If you are visiting Ikuchijima Island, please come and visit Lemon Farm Glamping.
