Mazda unveils CX-5 outdoor living concepts at Tokyo Outdoor Show 2026

Japanese manufacturer Car Interior Takahashi unveiled the AZUSA model based on the Toyota HiAce. The camper features a wall-mounted air conditioner instead of a roof unit, enabling entry into multi-story parking lots, and a projector for watching matches on a large screen.

Japanese company Direct Cars has announced a limited-edition camper van created in collaboration with workwear brand Dickies. Based on the Daihatsu Hijet Truck, it will debut at the Tokyo Camping Car Show from July 11, 2026, with orders open until June 28, 2027.

Yuta and Ryoko, along with their two dogs, visited all 1,204 roadside stations (michi-no-eki) across Japan in a kei car, sleeping in the vehicle. The journey took 600 days, after which they bought and converted a Toyota HiAce into a camper.
