First Time Trying Beach Bus Life

First time trying beach bus life in Japan. It's been 4 weeks since we left the bus DIY warehouse in Himeji and we have been making our way to Aomori Prefecture, the most northern prefecture on the island of Honshu, Japan.
In this video, we drive the final stretch of our Japan van life road trip and stop for the night in Niigata Prefecture and experience our first night of beach bus life.

WHO AM I? I’m Shota and I left Japan at the age of 19 and spent 9 years travelling and discovering the world. In early 2020, I returned to Japan with my Scottish girlfriend Ruth and we converted an old delivery van into a DIY camper van to live in full-time. We spent 18 months doing full-time van life in Japan and visited many incredible places off the beaten path. While on our van trip, we spontaneously purchased an ex-Japanese police bus we saw for sale and took on the challenge of converting it into our dream off-grid tiny home on wheels!
