Italy
We had an amazing time in the ‘Taj Mahal’ – a 660cc Suzuki Every that had been converted, with a tent on top. Two weeks travelling around Kyushu was the highlight of our 6 weeks in Japan.
France
Nous avons adoré notre expérience avec Samurai Campers. Les vans sont petits, ce qui permet de se garer n’importe où facilement, et l’espace intérieur est très optimisé avec plusieurs petits rangements, et différents équipements selon le modèle choisi.
