leeds_skier 0 Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 Wow, thanks pie-eater I really needed to see that while i was eating my breakfast I would say we are 'normal' sized people, certainly not in the same league (or universe) as these ladies!

kokodoko 67 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I saw a couple of the car-danchi doods in the car park at furano last year. They would come and go. the bubble shaped van that is in car danchi 5 i think. Link to post Share on other sites

leeds_skier 0 Posted September 20, 2012 Author Share Posted September 20, 2012 Does anybody know if largish vehicles can get on the ferry to Hokkaido? Specifically a largish vehicle like the ones I posted photos of above. Also any ideas how much the ferry might cost? Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Yes, no problem. I take my LandCruiser every winter. With my wife, daughter and I it ends up being around 48,000 yen BUT that is with a private suite room cost included. AND.....low season. With out the suite room its quite a bit cheaper. Our return is during high season so it's 60,000 yen. So, try to stay away from peak Christmas and New years travel. Price also depends on where you leave from. If you go from Niigata it can be really cheap BUT it can be the most miserable 15 hours of your life if you hit foul weather which is a very good chance in the winter....I did the Niigata route once...NEVER..EVER again. Our favorite route is from Ooarai in Ibaraki. It's quite a bit more in cost and time but it's usually calm for most of the trip. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Is there not one between the top of Honshu and Hokkaido? Surely there is. Dunno if that's the route you were thinking but if u were driving it'd be a shame to miss out on Zao and the many other Tohoku resorts Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Good point Tubby....there are ports in Yamagata and Hachinohe in Aomori.......I've done those routes, too. Link to post Share on other sites
leeds_skier 0 Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 Hello all I wanted to re-start this thread as myself and friend are looking at finding a camping car for this winter once again. Unfortunately last year didn't happen in the end, but we have our flights to Japan for this year now, so no turning back I was hoping somebody might be able to help me locate a camping car rental company. I'm having zero luck so far finding anything suitable less than 1 million yen for 3 months. Anybody seen a camping car rental company about, that you can pass on their details to me please? Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 That's the 10,000 yen a day deal it looks like. Pretty tough to beat that. Man...if I was more enterprising I would buy a slightly used rig and rent it out for 8000 yen a day. ... I can get my wife to call around a bit for you. PM me your details.
