Dream Drive route planner:

My name is Jared and I’m one of the cofounders of Dream Drive, a campervan rental company based in Tokyo. Our campervans are cosy homes on wheels which include hotel-grade bedding and comforts such as eye masks, earplugs, toothbrushes, towels, as well as coffee and cooking equipment.

Japan is the perfect location to have a road trip, as it has a network of roadside centres called “Michinoeki” which allow you to rest in a van. Hot spring baths are also readily available which means you will be able to recharge for the next day.

There has never been a better way to see Japan.
