More than sightseeing.
Experience the Shimanami your way.

Easy to explore, even on your first Shimanami trip.

Our Vans are easy to drive and park, making it simple to stop at sightseeing spots along the way.

If your 1949 Geneva Convention International Driving Permit has a Category B stamp, you can drive our rental Vans in Japan.

New to VanLife? No problem.

You don't need to be an experienced camper.

Our Vans come with practical gear to make your trip easy, comfortable, and fun — even if it's your first time.

Sightseeing, outdoor fun, and overnight stays.

Your trip doesn't have to end when the sightseeing does.

Swim in the sea, enjoy local food, take a break by the water, or stay overnight in your Van. Choose how you want to spend your time.

We'll help you enjoy the Shimanami your way.

Not just “Where should we go?”

We can also help with “How should we spend our time?”

From local spots to places to stop and relax, we're here to help you make the most of your Shimanami journey.

What stays with you after the journey?

The Shimanami Kaido has so many beautiful places to visit.

​

Of course, visiting famous sights is part of the fun.

 

But when you look back on a trip,
it's not always the famous places you remember most.

 

A quiet beach you happened to stop at.
A small local shop you found along the way.
A cup of coffee in the Van.
A moment of laughter with the people you traveled with.

 

Sometimes, these small moments become the memories you remember most from Japan.

 

We want to help you create those kinds of moments.

 

So that even after your journey is over,
you can look back and think,

 

“I'm glad we stopped there.”

 

And hopefully, a little piece of the Shimanami stays with you.
