A guide for Van Life in Japan
“It’s been already 9 months and 10,000 kilometers we are living across Japan in our small camper van. We are a mixed couple (European/Japanese) with a 1 year and a half kid. As a lot of people are curious about our experience, I’ll try to cover everything you might want to know before getting into van life in Japan or renting a camper to visit the country.”

“From an open-air toilet with its own miniature garden to one that makes you feel like you’re on skis, these toilets must be seen to be believed.”
