We Tried Van Life in JAPAN - Here's What Went Wrong (FULL TOUR MICRO K-Camper)

[@kingingit]

Who knew this was Japan?! 🤩 What's your favourite parts of our vlogs? (Just to make sure we're putting more of that in next time!) And who fancies a road trip through Japan?!

[@crystalmilvo5229]

Love your story telling and personality and jokes!! ♥️ Y'all are amazing!!

[@allan4054]

From watching when you were in New Zealand to now, as much as I loved them vlogs the quality now is cock on👌🏆

[@mmoshier08]

Love it all. Seeing the culture, seeing your adventures. Keep doing what you are doing!

[@in-steader2649]

It’s always fantastic! And I do!!!

[@victoriazwergmaus9813]

I am sick in bed! Was just waiting for youre video. So that after i cN go to sleep again! Feverish love from Switzerland

[@beoneofthemany]

Thanks so much! I'm a Black granny in Brooklyn, NYC with a son living in a suburb of Tokyo. (He's employed in the tech department at an annex of an American University in Japan. 1 year of teaching english after college has turned into 7.5 years of loving that country and now speaking Japanese fluently. Can you tell I'm kinda' proud?). Having grown up in this concrete urban jungle, my son has become a hiker and snow-boarder who has explored different parts of Japan, sending photos and videos thru social media of his discoveries. The culture and differing landscapes between the cities and rural areas are so interesting that I hope my next visit to see him in Japan includes renting a camper van like yours (with a bring along pee/poop bucket)! Would love to know your expenses at the end of the trip so I can properly save my duckets and plan a budget for about 3-4 weeks sometime next year. Again, thanks so much for your informative and super entertaining videos. Your talent for sharing joy and the creativity and time you put into filming and editing are truly amazing. I've been a subscriber for about 2 years now and I've even gone back to the beginning to watch all of them to date. You've allowed me to see and learn about the world thru your travels and I especially enjoyed India, Morocco and Viet Nam. I can't say thank you enough. Keep safe, stay well and best wishes to my favorite Van-lifers!

[@Castedlots]

You are just too cool!

[@Loobylooto2]

You sound lovely ! It’s wonderful to hear of your son branching out I hope you manage to go to Japan and live in a camper to see everything Van life seems to be quite expensive here in the UK due mainly to petrol and the cost of living crisis I’d love to hear you did it Best wishes 🎉

[@SKC_23]

Aimee is just absolutely hilarious. And the 2 of you together are just pure gold. Thanks so much for lifting my spirits today. Grief is just so hard and I'm really struggling. Thanks so much for working hard to get these videos up. People like me appreciate it sooo much 💜

[@CarinaPiersay]

@Maria CANCER I hope your treatment goes well. I’m very sorry for your diagnosis 💙

[@bobbie7355]

I have not left my house in 3 yrs. I'm 60 and my dear Mother is 81. I worked in public pre-covid. I kind of went back to work.. But i could not get over the mental health. Because people were killing us. My dear Mother is 81 and I am 60. Yay Pisces ❣️

[@coffeejab3381]

Sending you plenty of positive energy your way ☺

[@TEWAdventures]

Saying a prayer for ya!

[@barbraallbritton4222]

Sending you light and love and laughter really helps your immune system too. Huge hugs❤ I agree Aimee is absolutely hilarious and the two of them are pure gold.

[@jillsanto397]

I was laughing historically when Craig said “I just wanted to go for a swim, not fight a bear or wrestle a snake”. You guys are the best! Lucky you’re so adventurous with food. I was screwed when I went to Taiwan, there wasn’t much I would eat. Can’t wait for next week ❤

[@justingray4291]

I lost count of how many times I cracked up at Aimee's comedic timing. Such a crazy, fun experience to watch. Well done, you two.

[@addiebug]

You two are the most hilarious couple on KZbin. Your channel has brought much needed laughter to my life. I can't wait to see what you have in store for all of us next.

[@RoyandAimee]

This was so funny! Loved watching you guys make your way around Japan's countryside. We live in Japan and do van life - for easy and free parking spots, you want to look for 'roadside stations', they're called michi no eki in Japanese. You're allowed to legally park there overnight, there's toilets and during the day they usually sell local produce and snacks as well. Can't wait for part 2!

[@Silvie-nt8bu]

I just cant get enough of Aimee - she is such a treasure she makes me laugh so much. Sending love to my birth country Japan from Germany xxx

[@carmancloud]

You two could not be more adorable and the banter between you had me busting out laughing throughout. Awesome episode! 🙌

[@Kiwi91663]

I was dying at Aimee accent in the ad for Shortform... 🤣😂🤣... Love you guys!!!!

[@jordandar1744]

Aimee doing the two sticks together to ward off the bears like in the Parent Trap was absolute GOLD! You are such a legend!! Loving this series. You two are so fun to watch.

[@sherribarstad6418]

Hi guys! If you thought that water was blue ... wait to jump the pond to Canada and take yourselves up the Icefield Parkway in AB, make sure to stop off at Peyto Lake... stunner!!

[@sheilashells]

Guys, the Travel Beans did a great little tour of Japan in a camper van a few months ago. They were using parking lots that had toilets.

[@deborahread6259]

Was just going to say the same

[@pamelaselway6669]

Just what I was going to say but their answer was really tiny.

[@vivienogden9916]

Also have a look at Grizzlynbear on KZbin, Steph and Leigh imported and drove their Landrover Defender with pop top all round Japan, lots of practical and useful info.

[@markhurning8051]

What they said 👆

[@marianaito1]

I live in Japan and campervan a lot. No need to pay campsites. There's so many free parking spaces in scenic places, often with toilets which will always be very clean. As someone mentioned above you can stop/ stay at Roadside stations ( michi no eki) . So many convenient stores here you can go in and use the toilets also. If you need to stock up for things for rented van, then go to one of the hundred yen shops like Daiso or Sierra. Don't worry about not having a bathroom because there are so many onsens and public baths available for a couple of pounds. I usually go to one of those in the evening and have a nice hot bath and then pack my van up somewhere nearby with a great view to wake up to

[@KaraandNate]

Just now finally starting your Japan van life series and OMG…..thanks for the reminder to “breath” 🫶🏻 🤣 did not stop laughing this whole ep! 🙌🏻

[@kingingit]

Haha no problem 🧘 glad you enjoyed it guys 😄❤️ you would’ve loved that mountain onsen!

[@barbraallbritton4222]

I laughed the whole way through too! Thanks Kara and Nate for helping me find these two ❤❤

[@ssjess2504]

That red hair looks GORGEOUS on you Aimee love. I had no idea Japan was like this. It's so interesting. Thank you for taking us along ❤

[@kingingit]

Thank you! We were completely shocked by it too - such a diverse place in the world - defo one for your bucket list!

[@arlenesolis024]

I know she amazing in red. Tres chic❤

[@lesliemddunham7430]

I’m right there with you girl. I get extremely anxious when there is no accessibility to a toilet or a bucket or a plastic bag or a McDonald’s cup or a Tupperware bowl and never ever be ashamed of the fact that there may come a day when you have to wipe your ass with a pair of mittens that don’t belong to you.✌️🏻

[@blakestafford1087]

Setting an alarm for 5:30am to watch the new video makes it all worth it!! 👌🏼👌🏼

[@kingingit]

Woaah Blake - where you from? (if it makes you feel better we have to post these at 3.30am here in Japan!!)

[@mattitheowl]

Craig's face when he ate the muesli-tea had me in stitches. Funniest video I've seen in a while, keep it up guys!

[@cliftonmccallum8660]

The little kindnesses that you show each other are what do it for me. Thanks, y'all!

[@ajc6208]

Loving this series already!! Aimee is so hilarious, I don’t think she realises 😂 the random beeping noises from the van got me every time.

[@donnaneeley9920]

My left side is hurting so bad from laughing watching you both!!! Love from Virginia US. I was helping my son crawl up the stairs to his bedroom and I was backing back down and missed the bottom step. Landed on my left side. He had brain surgery to remove a brain tumor!! Stay safe and God Bless!!

[@rahrhi]

Hey guys!!! Just wanted to say how amazing I think you both are, individually and together!!! I have been watching your videos for a few years and recently have gone back and started watching from the very beginning, I had watched a few but have fallen in love with you guys all over again (ew sop) but thank for bringing the biggest smile to my face (every video) and continuing to be so real! Love you guys and thanks for being you❤️ Rhiannon from Cardiff xxx

[@lorireid6206]

Found you guys and Eamon and Bec through Nate and Kara, love you all for all different reasons. Your sense of humour is truly epic. I love watching your videos late at night when I need a good chuckle while watching you explore some truly amazing places. Thank you for sharing your lives with us.

[@freddiearkell]

Been waiting all day for this video 😂 Can’t wait for this epic trip in Japan ! The next video can’t come quick enough 💕

[@kingingit]

WHoop! Thanks for watching Freddie! 💜

[@freddiearkell]

@@kingingit HONESTLY you make my Sunday’s so much better. You both put a huge smile on my face, especially when times are so tough right now

[@teresadopeysmum3268]

Philly & Keely just did a campervan tour of Japan. A couple of crazy Irish vanlifers...like you 2!

[@charlenechua6073]

Happy Sunday I saw Philly & Keely episode in travel to Japan on RV too Have a great time kinging it on great adventure

[@shopgirl1231]

That beeping at the beginning…I can totally relate. I’ve just returned from a trip to Portugal and I found myself yelling to the car ( more than once 🙄) , ‘why a are you beeping at me.’ 😂😂😂

[@stacybroussard3097]

Like the Van will respond 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 I feel you!

[@italianlifestyle7911]

You must be one of the most adventurous couples on KZbin

[@mishmoo77]

What I would change about your vlogs?? Hmmm...I would like them to be hours in length and daily! hahaha. Im obsessed, I can't get enough. Monday always seems like forever to come! Don't change a thing - its perfection!

[@SilverfoxJB]

The thing I love about you guys is no matter what happens you are chill. I stress terribly and that spoils things for myself and those around me. We return to the UK in a couple of weeks, our Van has been in storage for 9 months and all I can do is think about the issues ahead. I wish I could be more like you but at 61 it's a little too late. Thanks for always making me laugh.

[@libertys.1534]

Idk if Mav is still in Japan I think he is already back in the US but it would have been so fun to see y’all do some van life stuff together. I love his videos he buy tons of different kinds of sleeping vehicles and he is so down to earth. If y’all haven’t watched any of his videos y’all definitely should!

[@meredithbury9681]

We have been watching you guys every week for like a year and a half. That was by far the goofiest and most relatable episode we can remember. Your ability to remain authentic even in challenging times is really cool to see. Good shit you guys, cant wait for next weeks episode!

[@CookingAroundTheWorld]

I started watching you guys about 25 years ago - I think you were both at school, hijacking teachers cars. This 30 minute video went by in about 12 minutes. You guys are always so entertaining and weird in a good way, the time just flies by. Why one of you didn't hide a rubber snake in each others bed is beyond me lol. Take care guys and thanks for the laughs.

[@romlyn99]

26:05 - Pirikarai kyuri = spicy cucumber 26:15 - Yaki amaguri = roasted sweet chestnuts + seasame and amond maple flavored snack then some other good snacks

[@sayergaughan5788]

I just lost it 😂 laughing when Aimee hit the sticks together to ward if the bears and vipers. Absolutely hilarious! Thank you so much for being everyone enjoyable fantastic content. I just love watching you guys! ❤

[@mentalneil]

I'm sure "The Travel Beans" did a road trip in a smaller camper van in Japan, I just love watching you guys

[@Poet1952]

So did Philly and Keely. Thumbs up to all.

[@rosaleejo]

Half way through and I say out loud to myself, “I love these guys!” You never fail to make me smile and laugh. Something I need!

[@medge1980]

Did you notice the deer bowing? They have learnt this from the Japanese people thanking them - adorable!

[@sharoncochran8508]

You two have seemed especially joyful in the last few videos. I love it! Your laughter and happiness is contagious! Thank you!!!

[@Lyricvids72]

I love that you don’t let it waver you when things go wrong because I just couldn’t be in that situation of not knowing where to go to the toilet, where to park or even not m owing what your eating half the time

[@kathleenkulp240]

Honestly, I would camper van travel with you two anywhere, anytime! Your joy and sense of adventure are so contagious! You lift my spirits every time. And you inspire me to just go out and try things and enjoy the experience. Thank you so much for sharing with us❤❤

[@phillyandkeely]

Quality video guys 🥰🥰 loving seeing Japan through your eyes. Our favourite country, and vanlife is defo the best way to explore it. Excited to see where you go next.

[@tinareg1]

Always look forward to Sundays to see you guys, and of course Eamon and Bec then Kara and Nate on Saturdays. I love seeing the places you go and can’t wait to do some travelling with the hubby once our boys are done their schooling in 2 years. Time to start dreaming of where we’d like to begin.

[@jswizzle07]

same. my number one fav youtubers

[@nikkiwalsdorf7395]

You two are just the best! Found your page through watching kara and Nate and just fell in love with your videos. You’re both so funny, you show all the fun and interesting parts of a country but never shy away from tougher topics like mental health and the hiccups of travelling. Now I’m slowly making my way through all your videos. Keep doing what you’re doing cause it’s phenomenal! Lots of love from a New Zealand fan 😍🤩

[@t-bags1434]

She put her Crocs in SPORT MODE!!! BAHAHAHA I friggin LOVE u 2!! Epic 💩 Mate

[@tanialienert2728]

You guys are laughing and and holding hands all the time. You both look like you are having the best time! Love it.

[@LUVNYLA]

OMG... XD I can't stop laughing. Aimee says, "Who's idea was this?" Craig says, "Well, I only wanted to go swimming. Not battle a Bear or Rattle a Snake." Lololloolllll Hilarious !! XD I had to pause the video just to laugh because I couldn't see you. I could only hear you. Lol I also loved the part where you two were cooking together on the first night. So cute and heartwarming, how you two relate with each other. Love you guys !!

[@juliawhite39]

You two are friggin hilarious. Love it all! I completely lost it when you put the Crocs in Sport Mode. Classic!

[@Albariver20]

Just here to say I wish Aimee was my best friend😂 like legit, I just love her!!

[@theseanandrew]

You guys have become a pretty comforting part of my week! I've been LOVING the Japan videos and I'm really looking forward to more- to be honest, though, I would also lose my mind over deer bowing to me to get a treat.

[@morganca42]

I had the best laugh during my cardio workout this morning watching y’all 🤣🤣 Thanks for the good laughs and can’t wait to see the next vlog adventure! ❤️

[@ExpatNatt]

Brilliant! Great video guys. Very entertaining!❤

What an adorable camper! I'm surprised there wasn't some sort of ingenious space saving toilet!

[@ellenblakley]

What a fun road trip.

[@emilecousineau1464]

Oh my gosh, we never kaughed so much. .almost wet myself hihi. You guys are awesome. Camping in a big van like yours does not seam to be easy. "The BEANS did it in a mini van and parked in streets etc. Looking forward to part 2 of Japan. The scenery was beautiful. Good luck. Love your videos. The oldies from Québec, Canada. Happy trails.

Love the chemistry between you two! Also love how you don’t glamorize everything about RVing! It’s great to see people doing normal stuff in an rv. I loved seeing all the sites in your video! Awesome job!

[@MegganWatkins]

I honestly think this is my favourite Kinging It video OF ALL TIME. So many good laughs! You guys are the best!

[@CarinaPiersay]

The two of you are hilarious! When I watch your videos I’m smiling through most of it and often laughing out loud 😂! “Don’t forget to breath.” Aimee your hair in the baseball cap was adorable. Craig you are always a good sport. “It’s ‘deer’ but that’s ok, Aim.” I could go on and on. What was the shower and toilet situation at the last campground? Did they let you use the toilet at the Family Mart? I’m with Aimee. I get nervous if I don’t have access to a toilet. The less access you have, the more you need to go. Safe travels from Southern California 🌴💛

[@gwynethglas-brown9171]

Omg my Ribs are Hurting with Laughter 😂 you both really Do bring so much joy & Laughter in your Travels And share with us 💕.Your Enthusiasm challenges you give your selfs that shopping was certainly one of them 😅 I think you be Glad to find something else to eat 😜.

Absolutely loved this adventure, you mad pair! Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Love that little camper van you have, such a great use of space inside, but agree it needs a loo built in!

[@susanharper6474]

I just can't go without watching you guys. Your so funny I love it..

[@angiemooney873]

I’ve been watching for years and you never fail to brighten my day. I laughed til the tears ran over your “cooking segment”. Loved your Norway adventure and hope you can get back to complete the trip soon. It’s one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited . I was during the month of May so much warmer. When you make it to the US and Canada this year or next , make sure to come to the Pacific Northwest. So much beauty and wildlife to enjoy. Can’t wait to see more of your Japan adventures. Safe travels !

[@nunelse]

Comedy friggin gold you two! Thank you for making me literally cry with laughter. I look forward to following your adventures more than any Netflix series. And just discovered your podcast series and managed to scare myself stupid driving home late on a right stormy night while listening to your poltergeist episode. Love ya both.

[@jeannerountree952]

I just about needed that P bucket listening to the both of you with your b breath cups, and eating tea with your cereal. I am wondering if they even realized their mistake when making the cups. Spelling mistakes happen all the time but it seems like you should not make those mistakes when you’re selling items. this episode ranks at one of your top ones. I especially love when you do your own commercials.

[@ogjitterbug1883]

Hey hey kids, I just love love you both , you make me smile and laugh.

Aww the van is so cute and dinky ❤ Love how you guys were ‘making do’ with the kitchen situation, hilarious 😆 Loved this video and am loving this video series. Keep up the good work 👍🏻

[@christip20]

That was hilarious! You’re right about the campers there, I watch one channel called RYU Camping & they show up in cars with all these “bags” that have cots, pots & pans, lanterns, sleeping bags, huge tent, wood, wood stove, gas cylinders and gas stove. It’s amazing to see the difference in equipment, it’s better quality than American gear in most respects but I noticed that so far none of these tents have floors in them, but they’re still very comfortable and cozy looking. (You guy’s would probably recognize some of the food or the packages of it)
