If you’ve been on social media during this pandemic, you’ve likely come across at least one influencer posting about how they quit their job, bought a van and are now travelling across the country. Moreover, you’ve likely seen pictures of some of the various bucket list natural wonders that they’ve encountered on their travels. Personally, I’ve definitely seen more than one of these types of posts and they never fail to make me wonder what it would be like to go on such an adventure. While I have no desire to buy a van myself, I am tempted to do the next best thing and rent a camper van for my next trip. Today, there are a number of companies around the world that offer van rentals equipped with all the gear needed to comfortably enjoy a road-tripping excursion. Specifically in Japan, there is DreamDrive which was founded by Jared Campion in 2019. Campion’s mission is to provide an opportunity for others to explore Japan by van in order to share his love of road-tripping in a country that he believes is one of the best suited for doing so. These days it is easier than ever to venture beyond the overly touristic golden route between Tokyo-Kyoto-and-Osaka to see more of the real Japan, and a campervan road trip is probably one of the best ways to do this! Travelling by campervan may cost roughly similar to travelling by public transportation depending on the route you plan to take. While you cannot necessarily go wrong when choosing a method by which to explore Japan, road-tripping does offer a unique adventure and an attractive alternative to the “Golden Route”. Do not let the uncertainties of it intimidate you as the unforeseen obstacles that may arise are exactly what help make the experience memorable! Getting outside of Japan’s notorious, bustling cities, campervanning means making your way through small towns and rolling hills of cropland which provides a more personal view of Japanese nature and life. As Jared asserts,
