In Brief

A Japanese couple quit their jobs in Tokyo, converted a used minibus into a camper van, and after four years of travel and the birth of their child, settled in Kunitomi, Miyazaki Prefecture.

A Japanese couple, formerly office workers in Tokyo, converted a used minibus into a camper van four years ago and began a life on the road. Their child was born during the journey. They then moved to the town of Kunitomi in Miyazaki Prefecture.

Local residents helped them integrate into the community. The couple now cares for horses and assists local farmers, including in peach orchards. The story was covered by Japanese media as an example of "new family bonds and a circle of mutual aid."
