We Rented a Luxury Japanese Camper | An Epic Camping Trip in Japan's Mountains

It's the Summer of 2020 and it's been one very strange year. We decided to rent a Japanese Camper and get out of Tokyo for 9 days into the beautiful mountains of Japan. We camped like sissies in a luxurious Japanese RV as we traveled through the scenic mountains of Izu, Nagano, Gifu, and Yamanashi. We visited Shuzenji, Nojiriko (Lake Nojiri), Takayama, the Japan Alps, Tsumago-juku and a WHOLE lot more!! We ate like Pigs. We traveled like Kings! This is our story. Get in!

The Intrepid Gaijin traded his Bonneville for a Robinson 771 and set off with his mysterious lady and gap-toothed troll. What adventures lay in store for the threesome as they traversed the mountains of Nagano savoring the culinary wonders of wasabi ice cream, eggplant katsuobushi, Hida gyu sushi, waffles and muffins and giant peaches. There would be tales of challenging detours, narrow roads and a tale of murder in an onsen. The concrete towers of Tokyo were replaced with majestic trees, bamboo forests, gassho zukuri, post towns of the Nakasendo and banana boating on Nojiri-ko. The sounds of pristine rivers...and silence enveloped them. Thanks for a great trip, PvG!

[@PetervonGommJAPAN]

Oh that was AWESOME!! You my friend have just won the story contest. :0) Nobody needs to see the video anymore- you've documented everything!

[@51941028]

Became familiar with Peter through Only in Japan, definitely one of my favourite guests along with Kevin Reilly. Really enjoyed this video, love the presentation and your voice overs, it felt like I was along for the ride. Looking forward to more.

[@gofuufu4215]

When we went to Shirakawago, we stayed in Takayama and you are right it's very beautiful and very scenic specially the Old Town takayama...

[@min2vietin]

Nice to see you in your own channel on You Tube. I enjoy watching you and John. Most of the time, you are funny :) Good luck and more power to your channel. Hellos and Konnichiwa to your wife and son! Btw, your video is so clear and HD. Great to watch!

Precious. Your son sleeping with joy.

[@astroboy3507]

Watched all the live streams but this cut edited version was neat!!!! Go the fresh wasabi!!!!! 💚 Love the end part love my dad!!! ❤️

[@jason_from_canada]

Enjoyed the way you presented the trip! Good pace and that PvG flair! 👍

[@PetervonGommJAPAN]

Thanks always JB ! Was a bear to edit but enjoyable!

[@awc222]

Lived 12 years in Nagano, Komagane-shi. And visited many of those places... Natsukashi

[@comontoshi]

Nakasendo YA! The High Road . . . ribbit. 😻👍👍

[@edcoronel9671]

This post is a leap in many levels compared to your other “low profile” post. It is a hint of what this channel is can become. It is both personal and has class. More power to your channel 🤩🤩🤩

[@raymondcenteno5835]

Nice! I know we were with you along the journey with the live streams, but it’s cool to see the full trip with the food and family.

[@PetervonGommJAPAN]

Thanks Ray!

[@almaoaxaca1134]

Awesome, incredible road trip., thank you. You did a great job editing this, had so much fun, thank you for taking us along. Especially during pandemic you and family bring a big smile and joy into my day. Ready for your next adventure.

[@mayraperezsostres5128]

I really enjoyed you and your family traveling around the old villages in Japan. 🤗 You made me laugh with the wasabi. 🤣🤣🤣🤣😎 Thank you.😆

[@WillyPark]

Enjoying this escape to Japan while Oregon burns to the ground, ugh........

[@GreetingsFromArrakis]

Awesome video, I would love going to a few of those places some day!

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

Living the Dream, How awesome is the food and those small Edo towns🙏 Thx Peter enjoyed that👍

[@tommygtr3571]

Thank you Family Von Gomm for making me smile!

[@paulccrimmins]

Aloha from Honolulu 🤙🤙its great fun watching your videos. You've got personality PVG just like John does and that's what makes a KZbin star. Also you've got a beautiful family. Please have your wife in more videos like Kanae and John do. Keep 'em coming!👍

[@JeremyToh]

We should have gotten this Van! So much better than our Hiace.

[@themontephone875]

Vid content excellent. Nice to see your whole family!

[@PetervonGommJAPAN]

Thanks Monte!

[@TOKYOSMITH]

I loved it. Thanks for sharing!

[@deanzaZZR]

Joji looks like Mom (and Dad) Lovely looking family having fun on the road.

[@btread8875]

If I had the extra money and could acclimate to driving on the other side of the road, I would definitely rent one for my future travels in Japan. Your video is a good sales pitch for that RV. :)

[@PetervonGommJAPAN]

it's pretty easy to acclimate to right-hand drive. Really. Once you are in traffic it becomes 2nd nature.

[@forestsnowfall]

Great video, PvG! Thanks for taking us all along during it with your streams as well. I love watching your misadventures in the mean streets of Tokyo but the Japanese countryside certainly has its charms. You have a wonderful family as well.

[@PetervonGommJAPAN]

Thank you Charles!! 😻

[@shirlnp]

This was so fun to watch!! We could do this more often!!

[@SkindoctorMd]

I Love this. You always do your vlogs with style

[@PetervonGommJAPAN]

thank you! :0)

[@themontephone875]

I’m definitely convinced to rent RV while visiting Japan Definitely will use your link/referral

[@briannotbryan3888]

After seeing all the live streams you can feel how different this feels and how much work you put into it; using all the different sounds and music and editing. Excellent trip report!👍 You got me interested into looking into an camper van for a different travel experience.🌄 Looking forward to you next trip. 🧇 🍌

[@roycebirnbaum6277]

That looks like an incredible time!

[@crystalkittykat3581]

Adorable family! 😀💜

[@williamwinsor7376]

That was worth time watching. Way worth.

[@MonkeyButtRides]

Great video! It is wonderful seeing Japan up close and personal like that. I have a friend in Japan, maybe one day I will get to visit and see some of the places in your video.

[@PetervonGommJAPAN]

Come on down Monkey Butt! That's my cat's nickname btw

[@REVIEWSONTHERUN]

Pretty cool RV and place.✌️

[@grumpyae86]

My kind of camping

[@maryohya9014]

Great video. Love it.

[@ellobo4211]

Reminds me of jenolan caves in NSW Australia

[@harvestjp]

I always feel jumpy whenever I see a video driving on the left hand side of the road, feels like crashing! hahahhaha

[@artagain8977]

“…what a tart” LOL!

[@markemmanuelleveloria6235]

I feel like im in the trip to, I enjoyed watching.

[@ramsessilent]

fantastic, love your idea of camping food! banana boat looked like a blast! roomer has it the best tooth fairy ever showed up! loved it and all the lives with it! thanks for the share! stay awesome !

[@PetervonGommJAPAN]

Cheers T! Yeah the Fairy indeed dropped some coin! :0)

[@silverbeachcurry]

Great job Peter! I hope to have the opportunity to do the same

[@yamabushi_nate7825]

This was awesome, I like the fish

[@mopspear]

kikujiro theme plays

[@merrynpreston9446]

Enjoyed your vid love the music too. Went to Takyama took me back. Thankyou.

[@naomiwatanabenyc]

The fish looks a lot like Rainbow Trout(ニジマス). Our mountain town also used to release them for Children’s Day fishing contest. They live in upper river stream. カナビラ って地方の呼びかたかもしれません。

[@denisehweertman6149]

nice video loved it

[@sandyschaffer3344]

Very Interesting. Really enjoyed it. Wow that grated Wasabi looked very good. Also nice PVG camper. Now I don't mind going camping if it's that way. Nice time with the family. Take care from Bethlehem Pa.

[@mariakeach4574]

Thanks for sharing 🤩❤️👏

[@DanOnTheGo1]

very cool video :)

[@robynrides]

Although I have seen all of your previous videos about your trip, it is great to see it all clipped and edited together. It almost makes me want to get a camper here in Australia. It does look so convenient but I'm not sure about dodgy camping ground ablutions blocks. Surely they have improved since I was a kid?

[@PetervonGommJAPAN]

I'd do some research maybe for Oz campgrounds ;0)

[@DJ-nn6vg]

I want that PVG hat

[@lofishorts8255]

Amazing desu

[@suguhanona2323]

Lol, Deer and Elk poop is called mountain muffins in Washington state.

[@adlibao76]

First time to ride a big banana hahaha :P

[@baskorotejo92]

mrs von gomm

[@10lauset]

Camping food was really roughing it. Cheers

[@aben5948]

This is like watching johns 2nd persona

[@javoambrosi1413]

Woooooow really nice everything, fantastic trip, greetings from Mexico City and Mexico full Country.

[@ibelieveinjesus358]

Interesting. Oregon coast over here. Heceta Head Lighthouse.

[@mrstofu2]

Love the history, he should’ve worked for the lifestyles of rich and famous

[@PetervonGommJAPAN]

is it too late?

[@LindaBeeEverywhere]

Oh WAsabi 😂🔥😭😢😓I love wasabi

[@katzlucas2701]

I was lucky enough to taste real wasabi and it is really gooooood. The wasabi imitations now are just bleeech 🤢 when you have tasted the real one. But it was expensive. 😞

[@3406Accert]

13:31 kid gets a tooth sucked out by a muffin ? Saves from going the dentist & tastes better to & you can thank nagano mountain muffin for the tooth job.

[@bogumilakofan6603]

And your kitty? where did he spent his holidays?

[@HoldFastFilms]

Did you run into Jin Sakai anywhere?

[@PetervonGommJAPAN]

Sadly and luckily no!

[@JAMMAJ-cq2bl]

😃😃❤🙏

[@ShadyGrove14]

Does Japan have national parks or state parks for camping and hiking?

[@PetervonGommJAPAN]

Lots of hiking in Japan. Check out Kamikochi, Shinetsu Trail, etc.

[@meganm1350]

Did the beetles survive?

[@PetervonGommJAPAN]

Sadly no. It was due to life span of a beetle not neglect! :-(
