He notes that local parking lots, popular among surfers and fishermen, often have 24-hour toilets and free showers. Recommended spots include Ichinomiya parking (paid, 500–1000 yen depending on season) and Izumura free parking, where at night only the sound of waves is heard.

Rising hotel prices in Japan boost demand for night trains and campers

As hotel costs in Japan surge, travelers increasingly turn to night trains and camper rentals to combine transport and accommodation. According to Nippon TV, JR West's night train West Express Ginga covers Kyoto to Shingu in 12 hours for 8,670 yen. JR East is developing a new night service from Shinagawa to Aomori (12.5–15 hours), and JR Central will run a special night Shinkansen on the Tokyo–Shin-Osaka route. Average hotel rates for two in central Tokyo have risen 70% over seven years. A 24-hour camper rental for four people costs about 38,000 yen, making it a cost-effective option. One camper rental agency reported bookings 3.3 times higher than last year.
