The annual camper van and outdoor gear exhibition opened on March 13 in Shizuoka City (Suruga Ward). The venue displays 108 vehicles, ranging from the latest models to popular and large-sized units. Visitors can test ride, check features, and consult with dealers.
Organizers note a growing interest in camper vans not only for leisure but also as a tool for disaster preparedness. Visitors' purposes vary: road trips, travel with pets, or outdoor excursions. The event continues until March 14.
