[Hokkaido] 53 days car trip in summer Hokkaido [Car camping travel vlog in Japan]
Nice to meet you. My name is Ozensan, I am Japanese.
This video is a vlog of my overnight car trip around Hokkaido, Japan in the summer of 2022.
We stayed overnight in a mini-car for 53 days.
It was my first long term solo trip, but I was able to relax and enjoy it.
I hope it will be useful for those who are planning to stay overnight in a car in Hokkaido in the future.
