Trailer music bar 'La Peña' to relocate and reopen

The owner of the trailer music bar 'La Peña' (Spanish for 'club') announced a relocation due to the inability to continue operations at the current site after late autumn 2026. The move requires 500,000 yen for trailer transport, 1,200,000 yen for water supply work at two locations, and 300,000 yen for land lease. After relocation, the bar plans to extend opening hours and rent out the space as a daytime rental.

Honda N-VAN e: and Super-ONE: camping possibilities with electric vehicles

Honda showcased camping possibilities with its N-VAN e: and Super-ONE electric vehicles. The main advantage is the ability to power household appliances from the traction battery via the Honda Power Supply Connector accessory (up to 1500 W). The N-VAN e: features an external power input kit, enabling use of portable air conditioners, electric kettles, and other devices. For the Super-ONE, overnight sleeping inside is difficult, but daytime camping with a tailgate tarp is feasible.
