Japan

While most people think of Japan as bustling cities and peaceful temples, it’s so much more than that!

While in Japan, we prefer exploring the countryside – think small towns, epic mountains, and rocky coastlines where most people never go.

One of our favorite things to do in Japan is rent a camper van and use that as our base to explore the country’s endless landscapes.
