VELTRA tours & activities, fun things to do

Our amazing trip to Nikko with a camper for 36 hours

We got tired of hotel visits and decided to stay mobile this time. We opted for renting a camping car, this time to Nikko. After booking a Nissan Carbby through Veltra a nice lady from the rental car company called to confirm the details. My English isn't good enough so we agreed on corresponding via email. On the day of our adventure we were explained all the details and functionality of a nice and clean camper. It comes with everything you need but make sure to bring your own bed sheets, blankets and pillows. Plus necessary cooking utensils. Basically anything you'd need for a regular camping trip. And don't forget your ETC card if you're planning on using the highway. The car was surprisingly smooth to drive. It was a rainy day so we made a few stops along our way. We turned up the heater and cooked a few easy meals. A small cooker with a gas cartridge is being supplied by the company. It was cozy and we were happy to stay inside while watching TV during our breaks. Once arrived at Nikko, we enjoyed sightseeing, visiting temples and hopping into hot springs. It was nice to know that wherever we parked our car, we could find shelter from the rain, cook an easy meal or just relax in one of the spacious beds. During the night it got cold (November​ - April) but the extra heating system kept us warm. That's a major plus for all female travellers. Returning the van was smooth too. While we were transferring our belongings back to our car, a staff member inspected the camper for any damages and forgotten items. After such a sweet experience, staying flexible during travel, I'd say this should be on your to-do list if money is of no concern or when travelling with 6+ people around Japan.
