RV vs Campervan in Japan
In Japan, most rental vehicles are compact campervans rather than full-size RVs. This is actually an advantage — Japanese roads, parking lots, and onsen towns are designed for smaller vehicles. Our Probox and Bongo Brawny are perfect for Japanese roads while still providing comfortable sleeping, cooking, and living space.
Driving in Japan: Key Rules
- Drive on the left side of the road
- Speed limits: 60 km/h in cities, 100 km/h on expressways
- Zero tolerance for alcohol — do not drink and drive
- Always carry your license + IDP/translation while driving
