Our Future

Since ”Road-side Stations” in Japan are rest facilities, naps are permitted, but it is considered mannerally problematic to stay overnight or to stay for a long time.
The Japan RV Association believes that it is necessary to have a certified area where camper users can stay in the car with peace of mind, and we are expanding RV Park.
Currently, we have about 150 locations around the country. (* As of May 31, 2020)
In addition, we will continue to deepen cooperation with governments, public bodies, and companies, and aim to establish them all over the country.
