In Gifu Prefecture, Japan, four roadside stations (michi-no-eki) located at an altitude of more than 800 meters above sea level have been identified as suitable for overnight stays in a motorhome. These stations offer cool conditions even in summer, making them an alternative to hot lowland parking areas. The selection is based on altitude and the availability of facilities for motorhomes.
According to DRIMO, one of the stations, "Dainichidake" (803.4 m), has daytime temperatures around 23°C and nighttime around 14°C. It features a 24-hour restroom and parking for 29 cars, but no shower or Wi-Fi; the nearest hot springs are a 10–15 minute drive away. The selection targets travelers in motorhomes and campers seeking an alternative to hot overnight stays.
