There's always fun to be had in the summer, with many outdoor festivals like Summer Fest and Fuji Rock taking place.

If you are attending a music festival in Japan, please consider a campervan.

For example, Fuji Rock takes place over three days, so if you want to attend the entire event, you will need to make arrangements and find accommodation, such as camping or staying in a nearby hotel.

If you sleep in a camper van, you can stay comfortably without having to worry about booking a hotel.

In this article, we will introduce why a camper van is the perfect vehicle for attending outdoor festivals, and some recommended camper vans that you can rent from Carstay.

A campervan allows you to stay safe and secure!

No problem with strong sunlight or sudden downpours

A few years ago at Fuji Rock, the tent area turned into a pond due to torrential rain. Even if you are used to sleeping in a tent, setting up and tearing down in the rain can be very difficult.

With a campervan that is not affected by the weather, you can participate in the festival as soon as you arrive, and getting ready to go home is easy and hassle-free!

Another benefit is that you can change your clothes right near the festival venue even after sweating or getting wet in the rain. Being able to stand up and change clothes in the spacious interior of a camper is a big plus.

Depending on the vehicle, external power sources are available! Air conditioners and screen doors make sleeping comfortable.

When sleeping outdoors in a tent, you may encounter problems such as heat and insects. With a camper, you can use an air conditioner to beat the heat and a screen door to prevent insects from entering.

Some vehicles are also able to use electricity, so you can charge your smartphone, work on your PC, play games, and even use a hair dryer without any problems.

If you sleep in your car near the festival venue, you can travel to and from the venue smoothly. After enjoying the night, you can get a good night's sleep in your car and wake up fully prepared for the festival the next morning.

Fully equipped! A spacious and comfortable "cab-over camper"

For groups of 4 to 6 people or families, we recommend the "cab-over camper," which uses a Toyota Camroad as its base vehicle. The sleeping space inside the cab-over camper is separated, so each person can have their own personal space.

Simple cooking is possible inside the vehicle, and some vehicles even allow you to use home air conditioners if there is an external power source.

Choose a van conversion for ease of movement

For groups of 2-3 people or families, we recommend a "van conversion," which is a modified version of the interior of a van such as a Hiace. It is just as well equipped as a cab-over camper.

Compared to a cab-over camper, the vehicle height is lower and there are many parking spaces available, so the advantage is that the range of movement is wider. There is less wind pressure when driving on the highway, and the driving performance is excellent.

When you open the hatch door, you'll feel a sense of openness and it's sure to make for great photos!

Cost-effective! A lightweight camper perfect for small groups

For use by 1-2 people or with pets, the expressway tolls are low for vehicles registered as light vehicles. Because it is a light vehicle, it is easy to drive.

The interior space is smaller than other campervans, but the design makes effective use of the space, which is appealing. It gives off an exciting feeling, like a secret base.

Prepare items with consideration for whether you can spend your time outdoors comfortably.

Campervans are well equipped for sleeping and staying overnight, but if you are attending a festival you will likely be going outside so you need to be well prepared.

In addition to outdoor chairs, insect repellent spray, toiletries and amenities, you should also bring plenty of clothes to change into. It is also recommended to bring a lantern or flashlight in case you plan to spend the night outdoors.

Even though it's summer, it can get chilly in the mornings and evenings. It's a good idea to bring a cardigan or hoodie to wear on top.

In addition, prepare a portable power source, earplugs, sandals for traveling, and an emergency toilet if necessary. If you are bringing a dog, don't forget a pet toilet, lead, crate, and food and treats for a few days.

Even if the ground is a little muddy, it's reassuring to have something to put your belongings down on or sit down to take a break. If you plan on taking lots of photos and videos while you're there, you'll want to make sure your smartphone and camera are fully charged beforehand.

Rent a camper and enjoy an outdoor festival!

When you attend a festival, you'll be outside all day, which can be very physically exhausting, so you'll want to sleep comfortably as close to the venue as possible.

With a camper van, you can fully enjoy the open feeling of being outdoors and then sleep in a bed inside the vehicle, which is the ideal lifestyle.

Why not rent a camper van from Carstay and take part in a summer festival?
