Traveller reports — not our own verification. We check every report against the station's sources before changing this page.
This station is in the official Michi-no-Eki registry, but we have not yet checked its own signage or website. Japan's national rule applies by default: a quiet rest in your vehicle is usually tolerated, camping behaviour is not. Signs on site always win — so please read them when you arrive.
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.
