道の駅ゆふいん · Oita
Good news: a quiet overnight rest is generally tolerated here — we found no explicit prohibition as of the verification date, so Japan's national default applies. But you are a guest in a parking lot — not a campsite. Follow the etiquette below, and if staff or signs on site say otherwise, that always wins.
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.

We found no explicit prohibition at Michi-no-Eki Yufuin as of our last check (2026-07-27). Japan's national rule for roadside stations applies: quiet in-vehicle rest is tolerated, camping behavior is not. Always follow signs on site.
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.
