Sustainability

COUSCOUS Glamping Manazuru is designed with minimal environmental impact. The site was developed while preserving the original terrain and vegetation as much as possible, and a vacant house was renovated for use as the central house. Reclaimed wood was used for building materials, and the pathways are covered with wood chips made from driftwood collected from dams in Kanagawa Prefecture.

Sustainable options are prioritized for electricity, food, and amenities. The facility actively engages in initiatives to consider the future of the environment and society, working together with guests to create a sustainable legacy for the next generation

Social Good

Manazuru Town is the only area in Kanagawa Prefecture designated as a "depopulated region," facing challenges such as population decline and aging demographics. COUSCOUS Glamping Manazuru aims to revitalize the community by promoting local attractions, supporting the use of locally sourced ingredients and materials, and fostering diversity in employment, including opportunities for mothers, seniors, and individuals with disabilities. Through these efforts, the facility strives to address these pressing social issues.

Meanings of COUSCOUS and Logo

We aim to create a place full of smiles

The name "COUSCOUS Glamping Manazuru" is derived from three elements:

  1. The sound of children's laughter, "kuskusu" (a Japanese onomatopoeia for giggling),
  2. "Couscous," a food originating from the Mediterranean, which has ties to the local area of Manazuru,
  3. "Kusunoki," the Japanese camphor tree, which is the town's symbolic tree and also found on the premises.

The name reflects our desire for visitors to enjoy delicious food and activities in the midst of nature.

The logo design expresses the rich natural environment and ecosystem of Manazuru, the blessings of food that come from it, and the laughter of children.
Hidden within the logo are the following elements. Try to find them!
