for free then the above locations are a great place to start. If you are willing to rough it a bit, it\u2019s definitely possible to travel all around Japan and not pay for staying overnight!\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are looking for a more comfortable experience, there are of course paid options available such as RV parks and paid camp sites which offer more luxury. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are usually showers, garbage bins, toilets with washlets and electricity hook-ups available at paid campsites. Since we travel full-time in our van, we choose not to stay at paid campsites since this expense would really eat into our monthly budget.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
