Why Japan Might Just be, the Best Place for Camper Van Travel
Japan is uniquely suited for Campervan travel, its arguably the best place in the world for it. Here are our top six reasons why to choose a camper van trip in Japan:
Six Reasons why a campervan is the best way to see Japan:
1. The Hot Springs Bath Houses
Japan has over 30,000 bath houses dotted all over the land, which you pay just a few hundred yen to use, these baths beat any bathroom. A decent portion of them also allow you to book private rooms ahead.
2. Network of Road Side Stations “Michi-no-eki” throughout Japan
Japan has built a network of roadside stations which are commonly used by campervans and RVs in Japan as free sleep spots, they have clean toilets, baths and even restaurants and are usually in very convenient locations.

3. Freedom – Campers allow you to be spontaneous
Travel where the weather is good or go with the flow as you check out various small towns or spots around countryside Japan. Traditionally if you are going to have a vacation in Japan it requires a lot of pre-planning of transport, accommodation and so forth. Camper Vans remove this hurdle.
4. Some of the World’s Best Driving Roads
Its a really fun place to drive and explore, and once you get away from Tokyo the roads get quiet and very scenic.
5. Affordable Compared to Hotels and Bullet Trains
In Japan you pay for hotel rooms per person, and although the bullet train can be a great deal for going to Kyoto and a few other great cities, many of the best spots in Japan are much more easily accessed by car.
6. The van is your locker, your changing room, your kitchen, your nap space and your dining room
Take the stress out of your trip. A massive amount of vacation time is wasted dragging a suitcase around and checking into one hotel after another, people want to spend less time in hotels and more timing experiencing this amazing country.
