About Caravan Rentals in Japan

Caravans (also called camper trailers or travel trailers) offer a budget-friendly alternative to self-contained motorhomes. While less common in Japan than in countries like Australia or the USA, caravans provide excellent value for travelers who already have access to a suitable tow vehicle or can rent one separately.

Important Requirements

  • • You must have a separate vehicle capable of towing (usually arranged separately)
  • • Valid driver's license with towing endorsement may be required
  • • Check towing regulations in Japan before booking
  • • Not all campgrounds in Japan accommodate caravans

The main advantage of caravans is cost - they're typically 30-50% cheaper than motorhomes of similar size. Once parked at a campground, you can unhitch and use your tow vehicle for day trips without packing up your entire camp. Caravans usually include sleeping areas, kitchens, and storage, though they lack bathrooms.

Expect to pay ¥6,000-¥10,000 per day for caravan rental. Remember to budget separately for a tow vehicle if needed. Popular locations for caravan camping include Hokkaido, Nagano, and campgrounds near national parks.
