Beginner’s Guide
I want to rent a camping car, but I’m not confident in driving because it’s big.
I can’t sleep in the car …
Such as when you use a camper for the first time, I think whether there is anxiety.
We hope that you can eliminate such anxiety and use a camper with peace of mind.
The best thing about camper cars is that they have a permanent bed inside the car! The freedom of travel is greatly improved without worrying about hotel check-in time. One of the attractions of a camper is that you can enjoy such a free journey as you want to do what you want, regardless of the schedule you have decided in advance. Of course, camping cars are “moving hotels” that allow you to sleep soundly when you sleep without feeling cramped.
There is a double-sized bed in the car, and it is a camper in a spacious space where people can stand and move, but it is OK with a normal license! Of course, it is an automatic car, so even those who are not good at driving can drive immediately in Hokkaido where the road width is wide!
Campers are full of attractive facilities besides permanent beds! There is also a multifunctional multi-room where you can set up a sink, refrigerator, dining and toilet in the kitchen. Free and comfortable at your destination, on the move, and whenever you sleep. This is a moving hotel!
* Please note that some park facilities do not allow overnight stays in cars.
Hokkaido can get quite cold in the mornings and evenings, even in summer, depending on the region. It is safe to have a spare coat.
The distance between towns is far and there are few gas stations, so be sure to refuel early.
Having a bag that can be subdivided from the suitcase is convenient for separating luggage in the car. In addition, sandals are convenient when you go out of the car a little.
Due to its high height, it tends to wander due to crosswinds, etc., compared to ordinary cars. It is a good idea to drive about 80 km on the highway.
The height of the vehicle is 3.2m. Since it is easy to forget after the second day, always be aware of height restrictions, and be especially careful when going under elevated or backing.
Because the vehicle height is high, the multistory parking lot is NG! When you enter a coin parking lot with a gate bar, be careful of the height of the rain shield at the entrance!
Most auto campsites have power supply facilities, so we recommend that you use the auto campsite, which also charges once every three days.
The maximum number of passengers is seven, but it is a bit cramped with seven adults. Only about 5 adults can comfortably spend 7 children.
The toilet is an optional rental item that you apply for in advance. It is safe to have it when traveling with small children.
The inside of the car is spacious and the bed is permanent, so if you get tired you can lie down and take a rest. Long travel in Hokkaido, where tourist spots are scattered, is comfortable.
Traveling with small children is just a challenge. But if you are a camper, you can move around without worrying about your eyes.
It is different from staying at a hotel, and you can share a deep time with important people. It will surely be a wonderful memory you will never forget.
Although there are still few hotels where dogs are OK, the location is limited, but if you are a camper, you can quickly change to a hotel. You can always be with the doggy.
Large Hokkaido. There are many ways to enjoy fishing and climbing. A camping car is perfect for such an unusual and active trip.
In a popular concert, the hotel may not be fully booked, but if you are a camper, the hotel is near the venue. Congestion of movement is also avoided.
