一泊1800円の駐車場に住む家族。中古キャンピングカー東京車中生活5日間の記録

We’re living in a campervan in a big city. We’ve made various modifications to make our family comfortable. This is our first trip as a father and daughter. However, we’ve run into a series of problems. We load our family’s luggage and prepare to depart. We store my wife and daughter’s luggage in the remodeled rear space. Loading and preparation are complete. This is our first family trip in this newly remodeled “ZiL520.” The toilet is its best feature. It has a sliding lap pump. It can be easily stored and used as a multi-room. We replaced the sofa cover with vinyl leather. We also DIYed this table. The induction cooktop is built in. It’s flat. I tried using it by myself the other day, and the table was a little high. It’s the perfect height for using a computer. My daughter, Kupimi, is 4 years old, so I think it might be a little high. I put this high cushion in there and she sits here while eating. The rear bed is gone. I’ll sleep on this sofa. My daughter, Kupimi, and my wife, Kupiko, will sleep on this bunk bed. I was worried about the storage in the rear, but it fits in just fine. It’s the same as before. I put a compact household dishwasher there. This is the appliance corner. I keep a toaster, coffee maker, etc. there. My wife will use this small space as a dresser. I loaded our luggage on the other side. Part of the top bunk of the rear bed remains here. I put my luggage there. Below that is a toilet storage box from Laptop. You can’t store anything here, but it’s designed for storage like this. I put my wife and daughter’s luggage here. I also put some on the floor. There was a little space here, so I put my luggage there. I created a trash area behind this curtain. I made this out of cardboard from Amazon. It’s a box for empty cans. Below that is a box for general trash. I put odor-proof bags in there and collect trash there. I also made the bottom section myself. I clip the odor-proof bags and put them inside. I’ll explain why. The Wrap Pon uses a coagulant to solidify waste and heat-press the odor-preventing film to trap all odors. However, this “Wrap Pon Sunny” may not have a strong odor-preventing function. It started to smell after a while. This is also an odor-preventing bag. Double-wrapped bags were fine. Move used Wrap Pon bags here to trap odors. It all fits neatly like this. There was nothing here before. It was loaded with luggage. With the new Wrap Pon storage box, I was worried about whether my luggage would fit, but it loaded without any problems. This isn’t really a trip. Since Kupiko has business in Tokyo, my family and I will be living in our car in the city. Because it’s the holidays, we couldn’t make a reservation at an RV park. It’s unavoidable, since there aren’t many. I’m not sure whether hot springs and other places will accommodate such a large camper. It looks like we’ll be living in our car in the city, where conditions are quite harsh. This multi-room shower will be very useful. Here’s the filtration system. When the water runs out, we plan to filter the drainage tank so we can continue using it indefinitely. Will it work? Well, I’ll call my family and we’ll head out. Where are you going now? Hama Sushi. No. Tokyo GoGo! GoGo! Let’s go. Let ‘s go. Tokyo! Tokyo! Tokyo Go! Tokyo Go! GoGo ! GoGo! We’re on the highway. This time, we’ll go our separate ways for a moment. Tomorrow, Kupiko has some business in Tokyo. Meanwhile, Kupimi and I will hang out in Tokyo. A father-daughter trip is wonderful. It’s about 460km from Toyama Prefecture to Tokyo. It’s far. The travel time is about 8 hours. With breaks, it might be 9-10 hours. It’s the holidays right now, so we couldn’t get a reservation at any RV parks. Let’s sleep in a paid parking lot somewhere. The road noise became a lullaby, and Kupimi fell asleep quickly. We’ll increase the distance during this time. We’ll take a short break. How do you like the new table and new sofa? You helped us make them. They’re lovely. The atmosphere has changed. It’s wonderful. What about the sofa? The sofa isn’t very good. Isn’t it good? I worked hard on it, and it’s sad. I can remove it. Just watch. Let’s begin. It’s not good. You never praise it. Let’s fry some sausages or eggs here in the morning and eat them as is. It’s very nice. The rear has changed. Did you remove that board here? Yes. There’s a shelf. I put all my luggage here this time. There’s more storage space. It’s easier to get in now that the board is gone. Before, Kupimi couldn’t get over the board by herself. I had to carry her over like this, so it was difficult. But now she can get there by herself. It’s wonderful. There’s a toilet. The toilet has been renovated. Is it true? Do you want to see it? I’ll see it. It’s true. It opens from the outside. It ‘s wonderful. I had it removed . I think you’ll be very surprised. It’s wonderful, so just watch. Let’s begin. The toilet is gone. Isn’t it wonderful? This is the handle. It’s firmly attached to the bottom, so it’s easy to stand up by holding it. Please use the toilet here. Yes. It’s quicker to use this one than the toilet at the service area. Colds are going around right now. Please use this toilet whenever possible. Finished. How was it? It feels bigger than before. Did you move the toilet a little further back? It was easy to do. There’s also storage space for the coagulant. It’s very easy to use. The next question is whether Kupimi will be able to use the toilet. Let’s try it. I was worried about Kupimi, but I’m glad she was able to use it. Now we can head to Tokyo. We can head there. It’s getting dark, so let’s go. Let’s buy dinner at a service area or somewhere. No way. I want to eat in Tokyo. Now let’s head to Tokyo. Good luck. We’re setting off again. Are you going to Tokyo? I’m going to Tokyo. I might just keep going to Tokyo. This is still Niigata. Yes. That’s right. I’ve arrived in Tokyo. Finally, I’ve arrived. I’m awake. Yes. I worked hard while Kupimi was asleep. Let’s find a place to stay. The coin parking lots around here are quite small, making parking difficult. That’s why we’re heading towards the bay area. I lived in Tokyo for a while, so I know the area to some extent . You’re proud of yourself for knowing the area. Once you pass this Rainbow Bridge, you’ll be in Odaiba. It’s so beautiful. The night lights are stunning. These are skyscrapers. Did I mention this before? Odaiba is a popular date spot. There’s a large parking lot around here. I managed to park without a hitch. There are many coin parking lots around here with no roofs and no height restrictions. Buses and other vehicles also park there. The very edge of the lot was empty. I parked a little overhanging the edge. So the space next to it was quite empty. The station is close and easily accessible, so you could use this as your base and live in your car in Tokyo. Put up a shade to block out the view. Let’s cover our eyes. Thank you for the long drive. Thank you for the hard work. The night view is beautiful from the window. Have you ever been on a date in Odaiba? ? You said that earlier. Yes. Let’s have a drink first. Car camping. Thank you for the hard work. I ‘m calm now. I’m calm now. There were quite a few convenience stores on the way here. I didn’t buy anything this time. You can buy ingredients there and cook here. I had some rice balls at a service area along the way. So let’s just have a light midnight snack tonight. What’s that? I installed an outlet next to the table. You can also use USB. You can charge your smartphone. It’s convenient because you can use it without moving. What shall we do after this? Shall we take a shower? It’s already late. That’s true. It’s actually 1 a.m. Let’s go to bed. Let’s sleep and prepare for tomorrow. Let’s dry ourselves off with a sweat wipe. Yes. Do you want to sleep with three people? The bunk bed is a little wider, so let’s sleep with three people. It’s expanded. I think we can sleep three people now. Please go upstairs. How strong is it? Good evening. You’re here. You’re here. An old man is here. Who’s the old man? It looks like we can sleep three people. How’s it living in a car in Tokyo? I just saw the Skytree and Tokyo Tower. It was so beautiful. The night view is beautiful. The night view is shining . Tokyo is bright everywhere. I came from Toyama Prefecture today. It’s pitch black in Toyama Prefecture at night. Let’s use this as our base for a while. I think it’s better to leave the car parked. Conversely, we won’t be moving. Okay . Good day. Thank you. My daughter patted me on the head. Let’s have fun tomorrow too. I’ll close it. Good night. Good night . Good night. Day two of living in a car in Tokyo. Good morning. Good morning. How was the bunk bed? It was surprisingly good. But it was cramped. Was it really cramped? Yes.
That’s because you came in. When three people sleep together, each person feels cramped. Maybe sleeping with your head on this side and your legs on the other side would be good. Let’s try that today. Shall we sleep together again today? Yes.
I’m happy. It’s convenient because I don’t have to unfold the bed. While you’re putting on your makeup, I’ll go buy breakfast at the Lawson next door. Thank you. There was a convenience store nearby. But they didn’t sell eggs. I bought some sausages. Let’s grill them here and eat them. That’s great. It’s done. Let’s eat. Let’s eat. Which sausage would you like? Please take one that’s well-cooked. We’ll eat it in a sandwich. Is it a hot dog? Yes. That looks delicious. It’s hot. The sausage is delicious. My daughter has made her own version. She wrapped the sausage in ham. It’s my inherited traits. It’s done. It’s done. Ham and sausage. Is it delicious? Yes. I’m satisfied with this. There aren’t many vegetables today. Convenience stores in Tokyo don’t have many fresh produce. There are no raw eggs or vegetables. They usually sell cut vegetables, but they didn’t have any. You actually went out to buy eggs, but you didn’t have any, so you bought some extra sausages instead. “Eat while watching” these city buildings. I meant to say “eat while watching. ” What does “eat while watching” mean? Eating breakfast while watching the city is fun. The train is coming! Is the train here? I can see the train from here. My daughter can’t stand listening to her dad’s boring stories. Let’s take the monorail later today. Am I going too? Yes. YEAH!! Mommy has something to do today. Let’s go to the amusement park later, just the two of us. I went to the convenience store with Kupimi. Kupimi bought it for me. Thank you. It’s pudding. Can I eat this? Yes. Thank you. Thank you for the meal . Let’s put it in the dishwasher and get going. The humidity is currently 48%. When I woke up, it was 70%. Is that true? I opened the window and the humidity went down. Sleeping in a camper increases humidity, creating a space that’s conducive to dust mites. Ventilation is important. The dishwasher is done, so let’s go. Yes. That’s Bill. Bill. Is that beer? No, it’s not beer. This is the bag you bought me. It’s a mysterious mountain vegetable bag. But I like it. We’ll all go together to the station along the way. Look. There’s something. Now, I’ll say goodbye to Mom here. It’ll be sad to say goodbye. I’m off. Enjoy the amusement park. Goodbye . This is Asakusa. This is Asakusa. This is Hanayashiki. Hello. It was Kupimi’s first time at Hanayashiki, and she had a great time all day. It was a wonderful father-daughter trip. Meanwhile, Kupiko was in Ginza watching her favorite actor’s play. It’s time to head home (ZiL520). Thank you for your hard work. We’re back. Let’s go in. I wait for Kupiko to return in the car. We wash our hands and gargle, and then it’s snack time for us. Thank you for your hard work. Hanayashiki was fun. What was the most interesting part? I heard something. Mom ‘s back. Mom’s back. I’m home. I wondered if it was okay to park here. “You can’t sleep in your car here.” I thought it might be a police stop . How was Tokyo? There were a lot of people. I agree. I thought I knew, but it made me realize. Did you see a movie set in Tokyo? I went to see a play in Tokyo. Did you enjoy it? Yes. We did “oshikatsu.” It was fun. I let Kupimi do everything she wanted. We went there in the morning, so we were planning to pack up in the afternoon and go to the public bath, but she got so excited that she didn’t want to go home. I see. So we played until the very last minute. No. I want to go to a hot spring. But now she says hot springs are better. Kids are fickle, that’s normal. When you came home, didn’t you feel like you were really home? I agree. It’s nice to have a base. There was discounted sashimi at the nearby supermarket. It looks delicious. You like scallops. I love them. These are “Ken-chan Gyoza.” I’m craving gyoza. These are “Kupi-chan Gyoza.” They’re big. I bought them because I was attracted by their size. Finished. This is the Tokyo Wagamama Dream Set Meal. Car camping. They add a touch of elegance to this Tokyo night view. Can I take a gyoza? You weren’t listening. Let’s eat quickly. Sorry. Let’s eat. They ‘re big. They look like restaurant-style gyoza. The meat inside is tender. Now let’s have some sashimi. It’s delicious. It doesn’t feel like supermarket sashimi. It tastes like high-end restaurant sashimi. I thought these were somen noodles, but they have a hard texture. They’re daikon radish. You thought they were somen noodles? I see. These are daikon radish. You ate daikon radish. That’s impressive. The salmon is delicious. It’s delicious. The scallops are large. Very delicious. I’m happy. I can’t afford such luxury at home, but on occasions like these, I want to enjoy them. I agree. Let’s grill these oysters and eat them too. I’ll season them with Crazy Salt, which I bought at the supermarket. Let’s eat. It’s done. Let’s eat. They’re so delicious. Really? This might be an irresistible way to eat oysters for oyster lovers. They’re delicious. Would you like to try them? I tried them. They’re amazing. They’re kinda tasty. Are they kinda tasty? Doesn’t seafood smell when you grill it? I had a terrible experience before. Yes. It was when I grilled crab. Yes. It was summer, so I had the air conditioner on. Now I have it on full fan, so I think it’s fine. If the juice splashes, it will smell. But now I’ve taken precautions. I also got a sofa that can be wiped with water. So it’s fine. Yes. I’m thinking about something. It’s a pain to set up a tabletop range hood every time. So I’ll fix it here. I’m thinking of DIYing a tabletop range hood so I can install one. That’s fun. Then I can grill meat here. I’m planning something. You’re amazing. Thank you for the meal. I’ll clean up. I’ll put it in the dishwasher again. Let’s do it! Let’s do that. After that, let’s take a shower here. It didn’t go in well. When there are three of us, we really have to think about it. We’ll put this in the dishwasher and wash the rest by hand. There’s no point in using the dishwasher anymore. Will you wipe it down? Is that how you do it? Yes. Thank you. Let’s take a shower. Kupimi and I will go in together. After that, Kupiko can go in. Yes.
Right now, I have the FF heater on to heat the multi-room. It gets cold while showering. I thought it might be better to heat it up if we have children. Also, the floor was wet after the shower. I could wipe it down, but this time I’m going to leave it to dry naturally. If possible, please leave the toilet in now. Okay. We’ll turn the toilet into a shower room. Now there’s no toilet. They also made curtains. I’ll take these two and put them on this side. They’re waterproof. There’s one on this side too. Water won’t get on the wall anymore. That’s great. Well, I’m off . Let’s go. I feel refreshed. That’s good. Yes. That’s good. How was the shower? It was fun. Did you enjoy it? I’m happy. The toilet is gone. Yes. Isn’t that funny? ☆*:.｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆ Is it really that funny? The hot water is already half gone. Well, it’s actually a water tank for daily use. It’s less than half full, so if I take a shower tomorrow, I won’t have any water left. I have to use a filtration system to revive it. You’re “Uncle Filtration.” Yes. I’m “Uncle Filtration.” Who is that? I want it filtered too. It’s gone. Does that mean everything’s dirty? It’s gone. What is this? Is it from Hanayashiki? Yes. It’s a Hanayashiki free pass. I see. Did you shower while wearing this? It’s not easy to remove. It’s a pain because you need scissors. I thought you were still basking in the afterglow. I’m basking in the afterglow of the festival. Just like the people who still wear headbands after leaving Universal Studios Japan. We’re still basking in the afterglow of Hanayashiki. Let’s sleep together in a bunk bed tonight, the three of us. “Today too.” Yes. Let’s play together, all three of us. Do you want to play? Let’s set it upright. Let’s set it up. Let’s pull everything out. We’ll put this out here because we’ll be sleeping with three people. We don’t need this anymore, so we’ll move it. Here’s a trick I came up with yesterday. This is the mat I use when I sleep downstairs. It fits right in here. It’s perfect. Kupimi sleeps here, and Kupiko sleeps here. I’ll sleep here. “Stray Cat Gang Curry Rice. ” “This is Wanwan-chan’s curry shop.” “The Stray Cat Gang is watching.” “Meow, that’s how you make curry rice.” “It’s easy, it’s easy.” She fell asleep while reading a picture book. Yes. She’s too cute. Let’s go to sleep too. Yes. I ‘ll leave the window open a little. I’ll use the screen door. That’s because when I woke up yesterday morning, the humidity was 70%. Is it for ventilation? Yes. It’s a little cramped. An old man came. He said, “Here he comes.” Also, the cushion for his upper body is a little lower. The cushion feels weird. Only my waist is strangely raised. It’s a bit annoying. I’ll sleep like this tonight. It might be okay if I go as far as I can with my legs. Can I tilt my legs a bit? Please don’t come. How was your life in Tokyo this time? It was an interesting life, traveling by train during the day and returning to the camper van on the way back. It’s fun to live like this sometimes. Kupimi and I had loads of fun in Tokyo. I let her go wherever she wanted and granted all her wishes. I think she had a great time. I had a great time too. I think our bond has deepened. I’d like to do this again. When Kupiko goes out on errands, Kupimi and I tag along, and then we hang out separately. You guys followed me this time. Let’s go to bed. Okay. Good night. Good night. Day 3 of living in a car in Tokyo. Good morning. Good morning. The humidity is currently 52%. Not bad. Yesterday morning it was 70% . Kupimi is still sleeping. She’s taking over the bunk bed by herself. Did you sleep here last night? Yes. I slept soundly. I had no problem sleeping with the duvet tucked under my waist. I found it a bit cramped, after all. You always complain that it’s too cramped no matter where you sleep. If you sleep like this, your feet touch the floor, so you have to lie at an angle. That means Kupiko and Kupimi are cramped, too. It’s a pain to pull it out, lay the mat, and then put the sheets down. I think it would be best if you could pull it out in one motion and everything would come out. It’s about time to get up. Let’s go somewhere. Let’s have breakfast. Since we’re in Tokyo, let’s eat locally. Toyosu Market is nearby. I think it was called Toyosu Outer Market. I think that’s what it was called. Is there such a thing? Yes. Do you know? It’s amazing. Let’s have breakfast and lunch here. Let’s do a little sightseeing in Tokyo and then head to Toyama Prefecture. Let’s spend the night in the car at a service or parking area tonight. We’re on our way home. Why? Don’t you want to go home? Will I go to kindergarten today and tomorrow? I won’t be going to kindergarten today or tomorrow. Is that true? (*ﾟ▽ﾟ*) Let’s go to Toyosu Market. Yes. Toyosu Senkyaku Banrai, a commercial facility that opened outside Tokyo’s Toyosu Market in February 2024, is home to approximately 70 stores offering authentic, genuine food from all over Japan. The exterior, reminiscent of the streets of Edo, gives you the feeling of traveling back in time, making anyone’s heart leap. Apparently , the free foot bath on the 8th floor of the hot spring building offers views of Mount Fuji on clear days. It’s amazing. There are plenty of other stores inside, too. There seems to be a food court on the 3rd floor, so let’s go there. Kupiko has a tuna seafood bowl for 3,600 yen. Really? I left it up to you and it would have been a disaster. I’ll have the tuna sushi for 2,600 yen. It’s expensive, but let’s splurge today. I thought I might get hungry, so I also bought some beef tendon stew. It’s lovely. It’s only 900 yen. It’s tender and delicious. I’ve never eaten such delicious red meat. Thank you for the meal. It was a wonderful place. It was delicious. Let’s enjoy Tokyo a little more. I’ll drive the car for now. Now let’s leave the coin parking lot. It was supposed to be 1,800 yen per night. So it should be 3,600 yen. But you never know what’s going to happen in Tokyo’s coin parking lots. Are there any traps? Yes. It’s hard to pay in a camper van, so can you get out and pay for me? Yes. It’s 3,600 yen. Okay. I’ll go ahead. You’re being noisy. Don’t leave me in Tokyo. The park we’re going to is pretty close. Since we’re here, let’s cross the bridge over the sea and enjoy the view. Do you want to go up here? Yes. It’s beautiful. That’s the building. It’s expensive. It’s expensive! Is it all Tokyo? It ‘s all Tokyo. It’s full. I wanted to park in this coin parking lot, but I can’t. Is there a space here? There is a space here. Let’s go. I’m glad I was able to park right on the edge. I just talked to the parking staff here. They said it was full until just now, but I’m glad it’s free now. Let’s go. Can I have you pay again when I leave the coin parking lot? Yes. Please don’t leave it here again. It’s 2,500 yen. That’s very expensive. It should be 400 yen. I think so too. Did you pay the large vehicle fee? Next time you come, please call me on the intercom. This car fits in the standard car space. Yes. Please ask for the standard car rate. All the parking lots in the park use this system. The height sensor detected it as being over 2.5 meters. I’m sorry. I wish I had noticed sooner. I’m sorry. Be careful. Goodbye. I thought it was expensive, but I figured it was normal in Tokyo. But it turns out I was being charged the large vehicle fee. It can’t be helped. I’m entering the highway from Ariake IC. I’ll drive another 500km. About 8 hours. It’ll probably take even longer since I’ll be taking breaks. Let’s sleep in the car on the way back. Good luck. Look. It’s Tokyo. Finally, I could see the Skytree. Really. I can see it. This is the Sakudaira parking area in Nagano Prefecture. The wind was strong. It was so shaky it was scary. I parked there because there was a highway oasis at the back. I’ll sleep in the car here and leave early tomorrow. I stopped at a service area on the way, but there weren’t many ingredients. I only had things that could be preserved. This is a souvenir cup noodle. This is a rice ball . These are udon and curry noodles I’ve been saving. It’s lovely. I want to eat this. Is it Cup Noodles Tonkotsu flavor? I want to eat this. Soybean meat from Ueda, Shinshu. I’ll have this with instant rice. It’s wonderful. It’s amazing. Let’s eat. It looks delicious. It has wood ear mushrooms in it. I want to mix it. Let ‘s eat. Let’s eat. Let’s eat. This is apparently meat made from soybeans. Thank you. It tastes like meat. I agree. It definitely makes me want rice. It’s sweet and spicy. I’m having pork bone ramen. It’s delicious. It’s similar to “Umakacchan.” I think it’s wrong to use other companies’ names. I agree. “This is a good enough set meal.” Yes. Since it’s the last night, I think something like this is good. The fact that we can eat right away is thanks to all the appliances. That’s true. Thanks for the meal. We’re running out of water for daily use. About a third left. It’s a pain. We’ll run out of water if we want to take a shower. Let’s use a filtration system. We have quite a lot of wastewater from daily use right now, so we’ll filter it. Then we’ll add fine bubbles and it will be clean. Shall we use that for showers? Do we also filter the water we use to brush our teeth? Yes. All the water from the dishwasher and the last shower. Don’t you think it’s a little unpleasant? You don’t? I know it gets clean because you’ve done it a few times. But it does get clean. I know that. Because I don’t like the water that old men use to brush their teeth. I don’t like it either. Sure, it’s fine if you’re cleaning the drainage of a dishwasher or shower. But I’m a little reluctant to clean the water used to brush your teeth and reuse it. So let’s stop here. Is that okay? Yes. Thank you. Apparently there’s a hot spring here. Really? Yes. How lucky. What time is it open until? It’s 10 PM. It’s 9 PM now. Let’s go. Let’s go ! Let’s hurry! We were running out of time. Yes. We were really running out of time. Since we were running out of time , we’ll dry our hair in the “ZiL520.” Let’s have a non-alcoholic drink and toast. Car camping. (*≧∀≦*) I’m glad you laughed. We barely made it to the bath . I’m glad we made it just in time. I usually enjoy the soothing sensations of a hot spring, but I didn’t have time. It felt like a quick rinse. Yes. I’m glad there’s a hair dryer here. I didn’t have time to dry my hair, so I’m glad I could do it here. It was the middle of the night, so I couldn’t see anything, but I heard the view is great from here. I’m looking forward to tomorrow morning. I agree. But there’s a problem. This is a habitat for Asiatic black bears. When I returned from the hot springs, they were all gone. I ‘m scared if something were to happen. But I think I’ll be okay in the car. I’m scared if a bear comes out. Are you scared if a bear comes out? I’ll be fine because I have my dad. I have bear spray ready just in case. That’s great. My dad is strong. After your break, brush your teeth and go to bed. It says “Stop.” Is it the film? Yes. I need to change it now. I brought spare film just in case. I don’t change it very often, so I tend to forget how to do it. I ‘ll follow the instructions. First, remove the toilet seat and film guide. Insert this spare film roll. Insert it with the arrow pointing up. Remove the film ties. Remove the four parts. Put the film guide back. Lift the outside of the film. Hold it and push it down. Take the special jig here and fit it in here and push it in. Let’s say you’ve installed a toilet seat. Press the power switch on this display for two seconds to initially press it. Remove the completed seal. Now it’s ready to use. My daughter fell asleep here. So cute. She played a lot today. You two can sleep there tonight. I’ll sleep below. It’s better to have a bunk bed just for two people. Kupiko and Kupimi, or me and Kupimi. Or Kupiko and Kupio. Don’t come. I’d like a system that can be deployed quickly with one touch. I’d like a system where the sheets come with it when you pull it out so you can sleep. When I left Tokyo just now, the road on the other side was extremely congested. The traffic was horrible. I’ve never seen traffic like this in the Hokuriku region. The Shuto Expressway was also extremely congested. The gaps between cars were very narrow. A camper van isn’t suitable for Tokyo. Today we were “travelers” today. We said things like, “That’s Tokyo Tower!” and “That’s the building!” We said all of that today. Tomorrow we’ll get up early and head home. On the way, let’s go to a place I’ve always wanted to go. Jade Coast. Yes. You can collect jade on the border between Niigata and Toyama prefectures. Let’s pick some jade. Yes. Let’s drive safely to the end tomorrow and have fun. Yes. Good night. Good night. Day 4 of living in the car. This is Mom’s bread. Good morning. Let’s eat some bread before we go. It was very cold this morning. The lowest outside temperature was a whopping 3°C. It’s cold. It seems to have dropped to 8.5°C inside the car. It was cold, so I turned on the FF heater. It’s now up to 24°C. But the humidity is a whopping 39%. It’s low. It makes me cough. The FF heater. “Oh, my gosh, it’s hot.” Next, I need a humidifier. I agree. If I had a humidifier, the humidity would increase and I wouldn’t cough. Do you get it? Yes. You definitely didn’t. Let’s eat. Car camping. It’s delicious. It’s delicious. Thank you. That was great. This is bread they were selling at a service area. There was a delicious-looking bakery in a service area. The bread was big. I’ve never seen it lined up like this before. This corner is nice. I agree. I like that place. Let’s leave after eating this. Where are we going? We’re going to the beach. YEAH!! We’re going to mine for a gemstone called jade. Thank you for the meal. Look at this. Apparently there was a 48km traffic jam in Saitama Prefecture yesterday. Was it bad enough to warrant a breaking news report? I was glancing at this out of the corner. Yes. I went in the opposite direction from this. I guess a lot of people were heading back to Tokyo for the holidays. I see. There’s a lot of condensation. I’ll turn on the defroster! The beautiful mountain you can see in front of you is Akadake. It’s one of the Yatsugatake mountains. The mountains you can see on the right are the Northern Alps. I see. Once you cross that, you’ll be in Toyama Prefecture. The ground is sloping here. That’s why I put in a staircase-like thing called a car ramp. Please wait a moment. Let’s go. That’s surprising. What happened? I forgot. What happened? I’m scared. I forgot to remove the car ramp. I see. I’m so surprised. I forgot to remove the car ramp. Let’s pull ourselves together and get going. We’ve arrived. The ocean is right in front of us and it’s so beautiful. There are people there already. Are they all looking for jade? This is where we got off right after entering the highway. That’s a roadside station. Apparently they sell a set called a pebble search kit here, which includes a case to put your stones in. You can also buy shovels and other things. Is this the set? Yes. It’s 550 yen. Is this free? You can borrow it for free. Is this bucket free? Yes. Let’s go with this. Did you find anything good? Yes. Did you find anything good? Did you find anything? It’s beautiful !!!! This is the worst. I’m wet. This is the worst. I’m wet. You’re wet. I’m soaking wet. I’ll wash my shoes and feet with the “ZiL520.” Understood. A warrior named Uncle has returned. Are those pajamas? Yes. I took a shower in the “ZIL520.” Really? I wore pajamas because I didn’t have any pants. There are so many of them. I collected some stones that I thought were beautiful, but they’re probably not jade. Were you silently collecting them by yourself? Yes.
Look at this. This is a recommended stone. It looks like raw liver. It certainly does. What is this? I think it’s a seashell. It’s beautiful. Seashells are very beautiful. It’s dangerous! Let’s return the rental item. Yes. They have jade for sale. Yes. This is good. Yes. I found the jade I couldn’t find after an hour of searching. I never thought I’d be out and about in pajamas so much. Pajama Uncle has appeared. Yes. My Tokyo car life is over. It’s over. Yes. Four days went by quickly. Did you live in Tokyo before? Yes. Why? Actually, I used to be in a band and moved to Tokyo with dreams. Did you want to be a star? Yes. All the band members in the Showa era went to Tokyo. It was a time before the Internet, so to become a professional, you had to go to Tokyo, get seen by an agency at a live house, and make your professional debut. I moved to Tokyo with friends hoping to form a band and become a professional. However, rent is high in Tokyo, so I had to work a lot. So at first, I worked hard at part-time jobs. After working hard at a lot of part-time jobs, one day I was given the keys to the store. Then I was offered a full-time position. Before I knew it, I was working part-time jobs all the time. It was putting the cart before the horse. We didn’t even perform a single live show. Why not? You wanted to go professional, so why? I used to go to live shows a lot. Please perform a live show. My friend and I wondered what we were doing there. Our fleeting youthful dreams were shattered. So you didn’t perform a single live show or even audition? Yes. So you didn’t even send any recordings to agencies? Yes. I did a lot of things, like writing songs and practicing guitar, but I had to work a lot of part-time jobs to make rent. That’s the kind of city Tokyo is. Yes. Rent and prices are expensive. It’s a bittersweet, sweet memory for me. Which one was it? I had memories like that. How was living in a car in Tokyo? It was fun. Was it fun? It was great. I was actually planning to go alone by Shinkansen, but it was fun that we all went together. I was planning to pay for my own Shinkansen ticket, but I saved that money, so that was a relief. You helped me financially. Yes. I saved on Shinkansen and hotel fees, so I used that money to buy some goods. This was my first time in Tokyo in a while. I stayed near the ocean. When I went to the convenience store, there were no eggs at all. Maybe it’s because I’m in a coastal area. It doesn’t feel like a very residential area. No convenience store sold eggs. The supermarket didn’t have any eggs either. It felt like a select shop. But the location was good. The station was close. I think things like this are nice every once in a while. Yes. I brought a water bottle for Kupi Beauty this time. This is great. I usually bring a regular water bottle on a day trip. But when I’m staying overnight, I use a water bottle. If I bring a regular water bottle, I can’t wash it when I’m sleeping in the car. It saves water. This is all I need to wash. I thought this was perfect for sleeping in the car. This time, three of us slept in a bunk bed. It was my first time sleeping in one. I was able to sleep. I found it a little cramped. Those were my words. I usually sleep on the sofa. The bunk bed was convenient because I could just sleep without doing anything. I agree. Even when the electricity got down to 80% or 75%, it quickly filled up thanks to the on-board charging and solar panels. We never had any problems with electricity. We have a surplus of electricity this time of year. We could use it forever, just like at home. We installed a hygrometer this time of year. It’s made a big difference. When we woke up after the three of us slept, the humidity had risen sharply. It had risen to 70%. It was soaking wet. How was this sofa? Kupimi just spilled tea on it. Kupimi just spilled tea on it. Just wipe it off and it’s gone. Before, it would soak right up. This one is smooth, so it’s convenient. The color of this new cover matches. It feels more subdued than the old one. It’s fun when you make a sofa cover yourself. You definitely develop an attachment to it because you made it yourself. This time of year, I made this table. How was it? It was so good I almost forgot it was handmade. This is also interesting. Being able to grill and eat the dumplings right here felt like camping, and it was fun. The gyoza were delicious. How was the height? I thought it was a little high. It was totally fine. Kupimi ate without any problems. The table is a little bigger than before. That’s also good. I agree. A wider table is definitely better. Was the height okay? I couldn’t reach it, so I spilled it. You ate without any problems. What do you think of the sliding storage in the renovated toilet, which was the main feature of this project? It was great. I didn’t expect it to be this good. It was a great renovation. I agree. If you wanted both a shower and a toilet, you’d need two rooms. But since you only need one room, it was a pretty innovative renovation. Yes. I’m glad I did it. “Camper Service” also created a space to store everything, including the coagulant. That was great. I agree. I thought it was a hassle to know where to put the bags after using the Wrap-Pon. ​​I thought so the first time I used it. I’d like to have a system that eliminates odors with just one action. Apparently they have trash cans for baby diapers and cat litter boxes. I’ll look for something like that. That’s great. Another thing that bothers me is that when I try to use the toilet after a shower, the floor is wet. It ‘s not dry, so I have to clean it. It’s obvious, but I thought it was a disadvantage. There’s still clothes left on the floor. If you go to sleep after a shower, I thought it would be convenient because it’s dry the next day. It just means you can use the toilet first. Yes. What did you think? My family and I tried it for the first time this time. We had the board on the floor here removed. Yes. It was difficult to cross before. Now it’s easier to cross over there, and access to the rear is better. I agree. We used this space as storage for the family. What do you think? It’s convenient because you can store things here. Yes. I also keep a small tote bag in this small space. I like this. We created this large box for toilet storage. However, there were no disadvantages at all. In fact, it’s improved. This was also done by the president of “Camper Service.” When you said “Camper Service,” you were speaking in Osaka dialect. What was it like? Try saying it. “Camper service.” Earlier, he said “Camper service.” It’s a very Osaka dialect. “Camper service. ” “Camper service” is funny. “Camper service.” We’ve made this into a trash can space. There is a large trash can below and a trash can for cans above. This was surprisingly difficult to use. I see. If I put a trash can for empty cans on top, I’d have to take them out every time. That’s something I need to think about. I wanted it to be possible to put cans and general trash separately from the top. And you didn’t like the filtration system. That was unexpectedly refreshing. I didn’t really mind it. As a woman, I agree. Even though the water you spit out while brushing your teeth is filtered and clean, I’m a little hesitant. I don’t like the water I spit out either. So let’s just throw away the water you spit out while brushing your teeth. I think it’s fine if you don’t filter that water. Is it okay to filter and reuse the water your family uses for showers? I guess it depends on the person, but I’m okay with that. Okay. Let’s do that. Let’s improve that and go somewhere as a family again. Yes. Next time, it would be nice to go on a temple stamp tour. I’d like to do that. I’m interested. By the way, I didn’t find any jade this time. Yes. Just your pants and shoes got wet this time. I’m swaying back and forth.
