2023 Edition The best places to go out with an RV in the Kanto region! 3 Places to Enjoy Nature
Solo camping and glamping have become increasingly popular in recent years. Why not rent an RV and refresh yourself in the great outdoors for your vacation this year? In this article, we will introduce recommended destinations in the Kanto region near Gunma, Chiba, and Ibaraki.
Camping is a popular activity in Japan.
Recently, we often hear about different types of camping, such as solo camping, where one camps alone, and glamping, where campers do not need to bring anything, and many other types of camping.
There are numerous camping sites throughout Tokyo and the Kanto region, but it can be difficult to reach them by public transportation alone.
That's when an RV comes into play when going camping with family or friends.
RVs were not very popular until a few years ago, but now many of them have features similar to a hotel room, and their comfort has become widely known.
You will need to research RV parks in advance of your camping trip.
What is an RV Park?
An RV park is a parking lot exclusively for RVs and is maintained for overnight stays in RVs.
RV stands for Recreational Vehicle.
In this article, we will highlight 3 RV parks recommended by our staff to visit with your RV!
