🏠 Our Story

A Family-Run Campervan Adventure

Small business. Big heart. Hand-built vans.

We're a small family team based in Fukuoka. In 2022, we converted our own vans by hand — building beds, installing power systems, and fitting out interiors — because we wanted to create the kind of travel experience we'd love ourselves. No corporate fleet. No call centers. Just us, our hand-built vans, and a genuine passion for helping travelers discover the real Kyushu.

🏠
Family-Run
Not a corporation. A family who loves road trips.
🔧
Hand-Built
We designed and converted our vans ourselves.
🗾
Local Knowledge
We live here. We know the hidden gems.

"We didn't start a rental company. We built vans we'd want to travel in ourselves — and now we share them with you."

★★★★★

"We explored Aso, Beppu, and the Kunisaki Peninsula over 7 days. The van was spotless, well-equipped, and the pickup at Hakozaki was incredibly smooth. This was our third time in Japan but the first time we truly felt free. Absolutely recommend!"

"14 incredible days in Kyushu! The campervan had everything we needed. We slept by the sea in Yakushima and at the foot of the Aso mountains. The multilingual support in French was a real plus. Thank you VAN TRIP JAPAN!"

★★★★★

"We drove from Fukuoka all the way to Kagoshima and back through the mountains. The onsen stops along the way were incredible — nothing beats a hot spring after a full day of driving. The team helped us plan the whole route. Best holiday we've ever had!"

★★★★★

"As a solo female traveler, I felt completely safe. The Probox was perfect for one person — compact but had everything I needed. The roadside stations (Michi-no-Eki) were amazing for parking overnight. Only wish I'd booked longer!"

❓ FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

No special license is needed. Our campervans are regular-sized vehicles that can be driven with a standard International Driving Permit (IDP). If you're from Switzerland, Germany, France, Belgium, Monaco, or Taiwan, you'll need a JAF translation instead of an IDP. Our partner JDLTC can handle the entire process for you → See the License section above for full details.
