DOAI VILLAGE: A Unique Telework and Glamping Facility at the Foot of Mt. Tanigawa
DOAI VILLAGE is a distinctive glamping facility located at the base of Mt. Tanigawa in Gunma Prefecture, uniquely connected directly to Japan's northernmost unmanned station, Doai Station. The facility operates a cafe called "Ekicha Mogura" within the old station office building. It offers the freedom to work from various locations—be it the cafe, meeting rooms, or accommodation areas—while enjoying the surrounding majestic nature. The entire facility can also be rented out for corporate training sessions or company retreats.
The property's equipment and facilities are specifically designed for flexible telework. It includes spaces for quiet, individual work (個別), areas for collaborative work where conversation is allowed (交流), private rooms for corporate contracts (個室法人), private rooms for individual contracts (個室個人), and rentable meeting rooms (会議). Additional amenities include projector rentals, free parking, and operation by reservation, with exclusive use of the facility available.
Located in Minakami Town, Tone District, the area is a renowned gateway to outdoor adventure in the Joshinetsu Kogen National Park. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Doai Station is famous for having the deepest station platform in Japan, accessible via a long, 462-step underground tunnel. The closest major landmark is the majestic Mt. Tanigawa, a popular destination for hiking, climbing, and taking the Tanigawadake Ropeway for spectacular alpine views.
