Japan 2016- another great trip
Picture

​Having enjoyed ourselves so much in 2014 and with still so much to see we decided to return to Japan in 2016. Once again we rented our vehicle from JapanCampers though this time we rented the Motorhome instead of the large camper van. By European standards it was still pretty small - 4.99 metres but it was tall with a well laid out vehicle with room for 5 or 6 people , a dinette, fridge, sink and two gas rings.

The following pages are just our thoughts on our trip, additional info is available from guides such as Rough Guide or Lonely Planet but just as important is finding out for yourself on the internet. We found that some of the guides were a bit sparse on info once of the main tourist routes. and so we looked at our National Geographic map which was a bit small for navigation but  had  marked out places of interest in red and so  we checked some of those out for ourselves.
