Your Japan Campervan Adventure Begins Here!

Exploring Japan in a campervan gave us the chance to: - take the path less traveled - immerse ourselves in the local culture. We found ourselves stopping at local gems,... read more without other tourists. - snuggle under the stars and snowcap peaks of Nagano. - save on accomodation. Free accomodation every night! - shower in onsens. - have an excuse to buy lots of snacks from the convenience stores. - chase the snow and the sakura. So much flexibility when you don't have an accomodation booking. Check the snow/sakura report and drive! - while tourists were flocking the popular sakura viewing areas, we found a secluded site, and had the place to ourselves. No photobombs! - very affordable ski in ski out accomodation 🤣 - catch the sunrise and sunsets from our 'bedroom' window The van accommodated 2 snowboarders and our gear. It was clean and sufficiently stocked e.g. cooking equipment, cooler box, lamp, battery pack. Bedding was comfortable and kept us warm even at sub-zero temperatures. Our hosts were helpful and clear in their communication with us.

After watching Yuru Camp during the pandemic lockdown, we were eager to experience camping in Japan but we had no experience in setting up a tent so we thought the... read more best way, was to do it via a campervan. That was definitely the best decision we made, as it allowed us to try visit several onsens and go on the off beaten path for 5 days, across the Fuji Five Lakes and West Izu. Rather than a typical corporate van rental service, RoadTripJapan's owners Yuka and Toshiya were very personal and showed true Japanese hospitality in explaining the road rules and common required words. I learned 3 important words from Yuka: "Regurar", "Mantan", and "Genkin", which means regular fuel, full tank and payment via cash. Those were the only 3 words I need for our road trip. The van is also well stocked with comfortable bedding, blankets, as well a portable stove with a pot and pan if you want to cook at camp grounds. It also has enough power to climb high altitudes like the Nishi-Izu Skyline; but do check weather forecast for strong wind and rain for safety when going on road trip.

We had the best time touring Japan in our van from Road Trip Japan. We hired a van for 11 weeks and can say this is the best way to... read more see Japan. We absolutely loved the van. It was wonderfully kept and felt very homely. It had everything we needed for two people (blankets, pillows, eskies, stove, cutlery, portable wifi, battery to charge laptops and phones, table and chairs). Yuka was fantastic also. Always responsive and gave us great tips on our itinerary as well. We always felt safe as well. The roads throughout Japan are in great condition. We would highly recommend travelling on the country roads rather then the big highways as there are so many things to see. We stayed at campsites and Michi No Ekis and always found them clean, safe and tidy. We loved our road trip and would recommend Road Trip Japan to anyone.

Rented a van for our trip to Japan in April. Yuka was super helpful and responsive both before and during the trip. The vanette was a good size - small... read more enough to navigate narrow roads with no issue but still a comfortable size for two to sleep in. It was great having the flexibility to explore more inaccessible places and being able to change plans on a whim. Would definitely recommend!

We really enjoyed our trip! We had everything into the Van for our 4days trip and for a really competitive price 🙂 We booked with someone who does speak English... read more and it was really helpful for us as we didn’t speak Japanese very well. I recommend it 🙂

Wir hatten die beste Zeit mit dem Campervan von Roadtrip Japan. Der Van ist sehr groß, hatte alle Kochutensilien und ein sehr bequemes Bett. Yuka und Toshiya waren sehr hilfsbereit... read more und immer zu erreichen. Wir können es jedem empfehlen so durch Japan zu reisen und die Natur und Städte zu erkunden. Vielen Dank.
