6 places to go indoor camping in Tokyo

Partake in all the joys of the great outdoors without leaving the city with the staycation camping plans offered at the Hilton Tokyo Odaiba. The staycation packages are offered in collaboration with outdoor leisure brand Coleman and range from an in-room camping staycation to a seaside barbecue.

The in-room camping plan lets you stay the night in a hotel room decorated like a jungle. Rooms are equipped with Coleman outdoor gear and there's even a balcony boasting an 180-degree view of Tokyo Bay. You don't have to stay overnight to enjoy the experience, either. The open-terrace barbecue plan lets you enjoy an outdoor grill meal overlooking Tokyo Bay where you can dig into your choice of a barbecue seafood or meat set course.

This family-friendly staycation plan at The Westin Tokyo lets you camp out in a luxurious hotel room fitted with a camping tent over the bed for kids, along with lamps and an in-room planetarium projector which beams the starry night sky on the ceiling.

The room also comes equipped with quality Bose wireless speakers and a camp music playlist to listen to while you enjoy a night of stargazing. To complete the camping experience, you'll get a package of s'mores – a classic camping treat – when you check in for your stay. 

Enjoy gourmet camping food from a spacious tent at Grand Lodge Cafe, a unique space in Kodaira which re-creates the joys of camping indoors. The café is decked out with numerous camping luxuries including tents, folding chairs, cosy bean bags for lounging, and even artificial grass spaces. There’s also wifi and power outlets available, so you can bring along your computer to work from your tent.

While you can't stay the night, you'll still be able to experience one of the best parts about camping – the food. There are wraps, soups, grilled meat and more on offer. Each dish comes with a recipe card which you can use for the next time you're actually camping outdoors.

Set up camp in Tokyo's historical Asakusa neighbourhood, where you can rent this spacious camping room for the day or even overnight. The indoor campsite comes equipped with a full kitchen, hammocks, tents, a fake grass area, and all the necessary tools for a comfortable camping experience – air conditioning included. The room is ideal for larger groups as it can fit at least ten people comfortably and even comes with a projector and large screen so you can watch movies.

This outdoor-themed restaurant in Kayabacho brings the thrill of camping to a comfortable and stylish indoor space. The lush interior of the restaurant  can best be described as an urban forest, with faux grass floors, earthen walls and lots of greenery hanging from the ceiling. Instead of music on the sound system, you'll hear the sounds of birds chirping and the trickling of a river in the background. 

From 5pm onwards, you can light up lanterns at your table as you dine on sandwiches and freshly brewed coffee. There are even grills available if you’re keen to cook up a meaty feast or roast some marshmallows.

This camping-inspired restaurant in Shibuya features both indoor and outdoor spaces where you can enjoy the wonders of camping without leaving central Tokyo. The outdoor barbecue space is on a rooftop and features a large grill and comfortable seating, which can fit up to ten people. The outdoor space even includes a jacuzzi to use during the summer months and a tent decked out in twinkling lights during the winter. 

The indoor space is a bit cosier, with sofa seats, fake grass, and a large projector, which can be used for parties. The restaurant is also pet friendly, so feel free to bring along your furry friends.
