We Tried Van Life in JAPAN - Here's What Went Wrong (FULL TOUR MICRO K-Camper)

Welcome to the start of our Japan Van Life Youtube travel series part 1/2! This week we picked up the cutest little Japanese micro K-camper / RV in Osaka ready to take it on a major road trip through the Japanese mountains - the hidden Japan!
We give you guys a full van tour and answer questions like, whats it like driving a mini camper in Japan? Are there campsites? It is easy to navigate and does anyone speak english? And tell you the worst things about van life.
Living in a van in Japan was harder than we thought and we did run into some problems on the road - of course, but it has been an incredible road trip with some incredible experiences off the beaten track that we could have never seen without the camper.

We've left our trust converted bus in Norway and picked up a mini camper van in japan! You can't beat the freedom of van life and we're so excited to go on this Japan road trip 2023!

Thanks so much! I'm a Black granny in Brooklyn, NYC with a son living in a suburb of Tokyo. (He's employed in the tech department at an annex of an American University in Japan. 1 year of teaching english after college has turned into 7.5 years of loving that country and now speaking Japanese fluently. Can you tell I'm kinda' proud?). Having grown up in this concrete urban jungle, my son has become a hiker and snow-boarder who has explored different parts of Japan, sending photos and videos thru social media of his discoveries. The culture and differing landscapes between the cities and rural areas are so interesting that I hope my next visit to see him in Japan includes renting a camper van like yours (with a bring along pee/poop bucket)! Would love to know your expenses at the end of the trip so I can properly save my duckets and plan a budget for about 3-4 weeks sometime next year. Again, thanks so much for your informative and super entertaining videos. Your talent for sharing joy and the creativity and time you put into filming and editing are truly amazing. I've been a subscriber for about 2 years now and I've even gone back to the beginning to watch all of them to date. You've allowed me to see and learn about the world thru your travels and I especially enjoyed India, Morocco and Viet Nam. I can't say thank you enough. Keep safe, stay well and best wishes to my favorite Van-lifers!

Aimee is just absolutely hilarious. And the 2 of you together are just pure gold. Thanks so much for lifting my spirits today. Grief is just so hard and I'm really struggling. Thanks so much for working hard to get these videos up. People like me appreciate it sooo much 💜

I was laughing historically when Craig said “I just wanted to go for a swim, not fight a bear or wrestle a snake”. You guys are the best! Lucky you’re so adventurous with food. I was screwed when I went to Taiwan, there wasn’t much I would eat. Can’t wait for next week ❤

[KaraandNate]

Just now finally starting your Japan van life series and OMG…..thanks for the reminder to “breath” 🫶🏻 🤣 did not stop laughing this whole ep! 🙌🏻

[justingray]

I lost count of how many times I cracked up at Aimee's comedic timing. Such a crazy, fun experience to watch. Well done, you two.

[addiebug]

You two are the most hilarious couple on YouTube. Your channel has brought much needed laughter to my life. I can't wait to see what you have in store for all of us next.

Guys, the Travel Beans did a great little tour of Japan in a camper van a few months ago. They were using parking lots that had toilets.

[carmancloud]

You two could not be more adorable and the banter between you had me busting out laughing throughout. Awesome episode! 🙌

[shopgirl]

That beeping at the beginning…I can totally relate. I’ve just returned from a trip to Portugal and I found myself yelling to the car ( more than once 🙄), ‘why a are you beeping at me.’ 😂😂😂

[RoyandAimee]

This was so funny! Loved watching you guys make your way around Japan's countryside. We live in Japan and do van life - for easy and free parking spots, you want to look for 'roadside stations', they're called michi no eki in Japanese. You're allowed to legally park there overnight, there's toilets and during the day they usually sell local produce and snacks as well. Can't wait for part 2!

Aimee doing the two sticks together to ward off the bears like in the Parent Trap was absolute GOLD! You are such a legend!! Loving this series. You two are so fun to watch.

[freddiearkell]

[cliftonmccallum]

The little kindnesses that you show each other are what do it for me. Thanks, y'all!

[ajc]

Loving this series already!! Aimee is so hilarious, I don’t think she realises 😂 the random beeping noises from the van got me every time.

[rahrhi]
