A “secret Christmas room” in the Ise-Shima woods — GLAMP DOME Ise Kashikojima’s Noël en Forêt runs Nov 13–Dec 25

This Christmas, step away from the city lights and into the forest of Ise-Shima. GLAMP DOME Ise Kashikojima, a glamping site in Shima, Mie Prefecture, holds a winter-only event, “Noël en Forêt – Christmas in the Forest,” from Friday, November 13 to Friday, December 25, 2026. The site is run by CES RESORT, the resort brand of Osaka-based CS Peak Co., Ltd.. The start date may shift depending on the weather.

The highlight: a Christmas Room for just two parties a night

“Noël en Forêt” is French for “Christmas in the Forest.” The main attraction is the Christmas Room, a guest room decorated from end to end in a Christmas theme, so that the mood begins the moment you open the door. It comes in two colors, red and pink.

The rooms are the Standard 2-Bed and the Standard 4-Bed, and only one of each is sold as a Christmas Room, so just two parties can stay per night. Each room comes with Christmas decorations and an assortment of sweets. A 2-bed room suits a trip for two, and a 4-bed room suits a group of friends.

The room photos shown are images only, so check the official website for details when booking.

A one-night, two-meal plan with Cheki photos

The Christmas Room is offered as a limited one-night plan with two meals and perks: an assortment of sweets, Christmas decoration of the room, and a Cheki (instant photo) service. It is a keepsake that lets you take home your Christmas memories as photographs.

The whole site goes Christmas

Beyond the Christmas Room, the site is decorated for the season and Christmas cocktails are served. The site pitches it as a winter unlike city illuminations or hotel stays, with the openness that only a glamping site surrounded by nature can offer. It suggests the event for trips with a loved one, group trips with friends, and Christmas get-togethers for women.
