While some people are sad to see the end of summer, it is a happy time for campers. The heat from the campfire is appreciated and an early morning cup of coffee is good for the body. PARCO OUTDOOR PARK" opened on the 5th floor of Shibuya PARCO at the same time. In this vast space, independent brands have gathered to offer a wide range of gear, tents, tarps, and other items. Three HOUYHNHNM's readers, amateur campers, will tell you about the charm of this new spot. They are here to help you choose the products and go camping with them.

SCENE1 First, I went to Shibuya Parco to shop for gear.

About half of the 5th floor of Shibuya PARCO. PARCO OUTDOOR PARK" was created by renovating this space. The concept store "NORDISK CAMP SUPPLY STORE SHIBUYA" by NORDISK, well-known for its teepee tents, a store by ogawa, a proud Japanese camp manufacturer, and a pop-up area where garage makers and other stores are scheduled to open their stores are just a few examples, The store is designed for both beginners and gear geeks to enjoy.

SPOT.1 NORDISK CAMP SUPPLY STORE SHIBUYA

Nordisk was founded in 1901 and originated in Copenhagen, Denmark. This is the third of the world's first official concept stores. The store offers a wide range of apparel and global gear from the Collection brand, including its signature items such as cotton tents and equipment. A high quality camping store rooted in the Scandinavian camping culture.For more information

Here, a VR system is set up to allow visitors to experience Nordisk's tents more realistically.

I picked it up, but did not know what it was used for until the very end.... The correct answer was a bellows, a device used to blow air to strengthen the flames of a bonfire.

SPOT.2 ogawa GRAND lodge

Established in 1914, "ogawa" is a long-established outdoor manufacturer. GRAND lodge" is an outdoor store directly managed by "ogawa" that provides reliable gear and quality products with a 100-year history. We provide lectures for both beginners and advanced users.For more information

At "ogawa," which occupies a particularly large area, large-size gear such as tents and tarps are also on display.

A wide variety of gear is available for use at home as well as in the field.

SPOT.3 L.L.Bean POP UP STORE

Since its establishment in 1912, this outdoor brand has always had the desire to "let as many people as possible know the joy that can be found in the extraordinary outdoors.

Leave it to "L.L. Bean" for stylish wear. Fashion sense shines in the outdoors.

Keep small items that are easy to lose at the campsite in a compact bag.

SPOT.4 POLeR TOKYO

Founded in 2010, this outdoor brand based in Portland, Oregon. The brand has gained popularity by developing items that bridge the gap between action sports and traditional outdoor activities. The marker is Cyclops.For more information

It is also nice to be able to actually try them out in the store and imagine the camping scene.

Mr. Shute tries on a "wearable sleeping bag," which is gaining popularity. With this, you can sleep and walk!

PARCO OUTDOOR PARK" is a place where you can enjoy a wide variety of outdoor activities, such as walking, biking, and cycling, and where you can also enjoy a variety of outdoor activities such as fishing, swimming, and swimming.

Shoot:No, it's really spacious. I also didn't think there was such a wide variety of camping equipment.

Knob:You can find them in the suburbs, but not so much in the city center on this scale.

Cat:Yes, I think so.

We are going to have an actual camping trip now, but please tell us about your camping history.

Knob:I have the desire to camp, but I have only been a few times. However, I recently bought a car, and I actually have a desire to do some serious camping in the future.

I took the gear I bought on the upper floor, carried it up the elevator, and went directly to the underground parking lot. Thanks to the "ogawa" flat cart, it is easy to carry.

All gear can be stored compactly, so there is plenty of room for a four-passenger car.

The group gets into Nobu-san's car. We put in our destination, and off we went.
