At the Tokyo Camping Car Show 2026, Smile Factory presented the Off Time Traveler 3 based on the Suzuki Every.

The base price is 3,039,000 yen, while the display model costs 3,237,000 yen.

Japanese convenience store chain Lawson has begun full-scale provision of an overnight car parking service at its store parking lots. The service targets travelers during holidays and is offered at 2,500–3,000 yen per night. Benefits include access to restrooms, power supply, and the ability to purchase food. The company plans to expand the service to 70 stores within the current fiscal year.

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.

Instagram user @douminfufu, who shares their camper van travels, posted a meal from their last evening in Gifu Prefecture.

The post has received over 510 likes. Commenters expressed envy and appreciation for the couple's enjoyment of Gifu.

A YouTuber, who previously bought a vacation home for 500,000 yen, purchased a used 2015 Nissan NV350 Caravan for 1.6 million yen to convert it into a 'mobile vacation home'.
