Lawson to expand overnight car parking service to 70 stores within fiscal year

Actress Ai Tensho, eldest daughter of actor Fujioka Hiroshi, reported her appearance on the BS Asahi program 'KINCHO presents Natsu nandesu' aired on August 15. On Instagram, she posted family photos, saying they traveled in their own camper using knives and belts inherited from her father, and also visited a ryokan that served as a model for a famous work.

At the Tokyo Camping Car Show 2026, Smile Factory presented the Off Time Traveler 3 based on the Suzuki Every. The vehicle features a main bed measuring 1800×1200 mm and a loft bed of 900×1200 mm, which can serve as a child's bed or storage space. The base price is 3,039,000 yen, while the display model costs 3,237,000 yen.

ATV Gunma, a camper builder in Gunma Prefecture, Japan, has released the RS1+, a kei-class camper based on the Suzuki Every Wagon. The vehicle uses a passenger car platform with a turbo engine, power sliding doors, and 14-inch alloy wheels, improving ride comfort and sound insulation over commercial vans. It features a bed mattress system equivalent to high-end models, providing a 180 cm by 120 cm sleeping area. A roof box and folding step solve storage issues, and a 15.6-inch flip-down monitor is optional. The purchase plan starts at 11,000 yen per month with zero down payment and 4WD availability.

The campsite "Asatoretamago BASE", located on Mount Ikoma on the border of Nara and Osaka prefectures, will start delivering shaved ice (kakigori) directly to campsites from August 17, 2026. The service is available as part of a camping plan, costing 600 yen (tax included). Visitors can enjoy shaved ice by the campfire, and the adjacent Egg Cafe offers omelets and other dishes made with fresh eggs.

Actor Fujioka Hiroshi (80) traveled with his children — daughter Fujioka Riho (24), sons Fujioka Honoka (21) and Fujioka Oki (18), and their mother (22) — in his camper for a family outing. He shared photos on Instagram showing them cooking and enjoying nature together. Fujioka said that traveling by camper lets him spend quality time with his family and creates lasting memories.
