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

[@51941028]

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!

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.

[@aubotte]

Great video! It was really nice to follow along with you on your trip :)

[@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 🤩🤩🤩

[@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.

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

[@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!

[@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!👍

[@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!! 😻

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

[@roycebirnbaum6277]

That looks like an incredible time!

[@carolgerman2020]

Really enjoyed watching. Great trip

[@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. 🧇 🍌

[@williamwinsor7376]

That was worth time watching. Way worth.

[@maryohya9014]

Great video. Love it.

[@deanzaZZR]

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

[@PetervonGommJAPAN]

Thanks Christian!! :0)

[@adlibao76]

That wasabi reaction LOL!

[@harvestjp]

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

[@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)

[@WillyPark]

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

[@Lisforpeace71]

Fun with the family🎉

[@merrynpreston9446]

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

[@yamabushi_nate7825]

This was awesome, I like the fish

[@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.

[@nelstalgic7878]

You are the best Ultraman ✨

[@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.

[@denisehweertman6149]

nice video loved it

[@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!

[@tinamay1020]

Hi Mr. Peter, very nice Edo village! Awesome foods! Arigatogozaimasu!🙏🏻👍🏻

[@markemmanuelleveloria6235]

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

[@grumpyae86]

My kind of camping

[@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。

[@DanOnTheGo1]

very cool video :)

[@mariakeach4574]

Thanks for sharing 🤩❤️👏

[@robyn_roamz]

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)

[@ellobo4211]

Reminds me of jenolan caves in NSW Australia

[@suguhanona2323]

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

[@artagain8977]

“…what a tart” LOL!

[@adlibao76]

First time to ride a big banana hahaha :P

[@javoambrosi1413]

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

[@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.

[@DJ-nn6vg]

I want that PVG hat

[@10lauset]

Camping food was really roughing it. Cheers

[@ibelieveinjesus358]

Interesting. Oregon coast over here. Heceta Head Lighthouse.

[@HoldFastFilms]

Did you run into Jin Sakai anywhere?

[@PetervonGommJAPAN]

Sadly and luckily no!

[@aben5948]

This is like watching johns 2nd persona

[@mrstofu2]

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

[@PetervonGommJAPAN]

is it too late?

[@baskorotejo92]

mrs von gomm

[@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. 😞

[@LindaBeeEverywhere]

Oh WAsabi 😂🔥😭😢😓I love wasabi

[@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.

[@bogumilakofan6603]

And your kitty? where did he spent his holidays?

[@meganm1350]

Did the beetles survive?

[@PetervonGommJAPAN]

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