We know where this station is — but not what its signs say. If you've stayed here or just driven past, tell us in 30 seconds. We verify every report against the station's own sources, then update this page and credit you.
Traveller reports — not our own verification. We check every report against the station's sources before changing this page.
We have researched this station, and the sources below disagree or are out of date. One report may say overnight stays are turned away while a recent on-site survey found no signage, or the parking lot may be run by the town rather than the station itself. So we are not calling this one either way yet. Treat it as uncertain: keep it quiet, read the signs when you arrive, and be ready to move on. If you've been, your report below settles it faster than anything.
Michi-no-Eki are government-designated rest stops with free 24-hour parking. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) position: resting and napping in your vehicle is accepted — using the parking lot as accommodation is not. In practice, a quiet one-night rest in your campervan is tolerated at most stations, while camping behavior (chairs, tables, awnings, BBQ, long stays) is not. Individual stations can and do post their own explicit bans — that is exactly what this database tracks.

One quiet night maximum, engine off, nothing outside the vehicle, no flames, park away from the entrance, keep quiet after 21:00, take your trash, and support the shop. Individual stations may post stricter rules — signs on site always override this database.
Official RV parks (typically ¥1,000–4,500/night, bookable), auto-campgrounds (¥1,000–5,000), and some onsen facilities with overnight parking plans. Every VAN TRIP JAPAN rental includes a curated overnight spot map for Kyushu with legal, welcoming places to sleep.
Rules change faster than any database. If you saw a new sign or a changed policy at this station, tell us on WhatsApp — we'll verify and update the entry with credit to you.

We're a family-run campervan rental in Fukuoka, 10 minutes from the airport. Insurance, bedding, gear and a curated overnight-spots map — all included. And if your license is from France, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Taiwan or Monaco, you'll need an official translation to drive in Japan — our partner JDLTC handles it online before you land.
