- Can we fit in this TINY Japanese Campervan?
We try a tiny Japanese Camper Van (Kei Wagon) to start off our Japan vanlife series. In this Japan travel video, we pick the smallest campervan we have ever seen, give a van tour and spend a night in this micro van.

⭐ About Travel Beans:
Welcome to the official Travel Beans RUclips channel! On this channel, you’ll find a variety of travel and vlog content, in which you’ll see us in places like Thailand, Japan, USA, Slovenia, and more.
In 2017 we left home with just £500 in our bank account and a dream to make a sustainable travel lifestyle happen! We are now living our dream as digital nomads and want to inspire you to create your own story, whatever it may be!
After 5 years of aimless, yet enjoyable, backpacking around the world we found ourselves in New York City battling with depression. At this point, we decided to go home and confront this problem head-on. After 6 tough months at home we decided to go away again, but this time with a goal in mind.. to turn travel into a lifestyle.
Our time spent battling depression has influenced our outlook on life dramatically! We are now traveling the world in search of what makes us happy. In our vlogs, we talk openly and honestly about our travel experiences, the digital nomad life and depression. We hope our videos can help to inspire you to create a life that makes you happy!

The way you two find joy and happiness in everything, the way Emma laughs at your silliness, how you two take everything in stride, is truly an inspiration to every couple. I simply adore and love how you two carry in together in life and your adventures. My wife and I find the same happiness together, and you just remind me of that every time I watch your videos. Love, love, love it! Thanks for being an inspiration to so many, and may you continue to find joy and happiness. Cheers from Canada.
Canadian, eh. You have a great chance. Yes, the Beans roll w the punches.
Can you imagine 2-1/2 americans whinging about that van.😄😄😄 Oh noooo! "But we don't have tiny camper vans in america, you must upgrade us to a Winnibago. Whada ya mean you don't have Winnabagos, everyone has Winnibagos." Ugh!
You two are more resilient than I. I think that that is just one step up from sleeping on the rocky ground.
2 and a half travel beans? Japan? Tiny camper van? (Grabs the popcorn)
I'm in!
😅👍❤
Best comment ever
Ha ha!! Right!! 😂❤🙌
I swear I saw a video where they put something up at the top and slept up there and it was one of these campers. I don't know how practical that really is though for you. This was fun and I'm so glad you have good humor about it.
Emma's laughter brings me great joy!!!
We love that you guys are taking rather sticky situations with a positive and funny way. Japan is a wonderful country and culture to explore! Btw, I think the reason why they have microwave is because a lot of the food items you can buy at the convenient stores can be heated. They actually have microwaves in the convenient store so you can heat your food that you bought there, Happy travels 🙂
I just love watching your videos! They are always entertaining and your chemistry/conversations/banter with each other is absolutely precious! ❤️
YES, ABSOLUTELY! They fit the bill, so to speak!!! And set a great example for tolerance to WHATEVER!!
That van is so tiny that I honestly don't know how you even spent one night in it. On the other hand, it is really cute.
I'm 50 now and had a van like that when I was 19 an older model of that van and myself and my now wife traveled all over Ireland in it and loved it the van was a Suzuki super carry van have a great trip beans
Unless I'm mistaken the last time you two were bored with nothing to do got you a Mini Bean! 🤣 I could easily camp in that van as I've done multiple nights in my Ford Escape on many occasions. I'm 5' 10" and barely fit but it works! Love laughing with you both, enjoy your travels.
If someone has not said it and/ you have not read it... the two panels go to the top part of the pop up. You are suppose to sleep up top and then you have your space down below for your stuff so you don't need to move your bags around so much. Hope that helps a little.
Wow that is compact living. Makes our VW seem like a palace 😂. Great video as always, enjoyed seeing van life in Japan 🇯🇵 the vending machine capital 😎
Emma, your baby bump is really showing now. Sooo cute.
Emma, you just look so very happy!
Lol, love that you two get a laugh out of your "self inflicted" campervan life in Japan. Honestly it looked like a tiny two person pup-tent that we all "camped" in the back yard as kids, but once it was all closed in with the curtains it looked cramped but cozy . Thank you for your awesome funny but beautiful vistas videos. Y'all are truly intrepid travelers tackling swarm flies, mice, break downs and now pregnancy while traveling. I truly hope that you will continue traveling after the baby is born because you two have been an inspiration to those of us that have the "what if" fear of traveling. You have literally shown some of the not great side of being a traveler that few if any are willing to be honest about like the pooping in a bucket, rodent problems and having to fumigate the van because of the flies. By showing us the real side not the fun h pretty side you've given us all a true view of what it's really like. Thank you so much for the honest parts of traveling, good, bad and the ugly. Happy trails and safe travels y'all!
Súper cute! I travelled to Turkiye after watching your episode, my mom and I followed almost all of your recommendations and we did not regret any of those! Thank you so much! Sending lots of love for the three of you!
I just love y'all. I thought that everyone knew that Japanese and Chinese people's stature is smaller than most others. Did y'all ask for measurements and amenities before booking. But at least y'all are positive about it all. Emma's laugh is everything, had me laughing along with her. Much love from the States.
You two are just hilarious! I absolutely adore your humor! And...that campervan....hahaha! It looks like one of those tiny matchbox toy cars. For some reason Gulliver's Travels comes to mind. LOL! Good thing you all have this on video, because no ones gonna believe THIS adventure! I can't wait for the day when your little travel bean is all grown up and you tell him "When i was pregnant with you, your dad and I went to Japan and traveled in a matchbox campervan". When he says "Yeah right", you can pull out the old video footage and say "Oh yeah, you don't believe us, take a look at this!" This should make one hilarious story to tell, and you have the video to prove it. Good thing Emma isn't nine months pregnant or you two will have to carry a can opener to get both of you out! 😁
Laughing along. Can’t wait to see the adventure
Oh my! Your little bean is really growing!
It looks so uncomfortable 😣 😅 but I just love that you find the fun and laugh 😂 believe me, a lot of us where laughing with you too 😅😂. Stay safe!!!
Ohh I do hope you did treat yourselves to at least one night in a more spacious accommodation! I don't know if we would do something that small and especailly in a foreign country! But huge upss to you for at least giving it a go - it would be a great way to travel with all you necesities available to you and being able to stop wherever you want!!! Keep warm, take care of yourselves & I so look forward to seeing more!!!! 🙂
Mini bean going to have a right giggle watching that one day😆😆😆
Epic scenary and interesting locations . Camper is very qant and adorable Alway love watching your adventures . Safe travel and God Bless always
I love your contagious laugh and positive attitude
Y’all are better than me & my hubby. Nope I would not attempt to sleep in that small space. Good for you guys🤗
Most of the food items for travelers is sold in 7-11's and vending machines over there, so the microwave is good for heating up vending machine food.. Love you both, good luck..
Damn, that's really a can of beans. Lovely how you keep laughing with the self inflicted hassle. Good luck to you both.
You have a great sense of humour! But sleeping well is crucial! Therefore I never would have chosen such a small rig.
You both barely fit me being German forget it. Love Emma’s laugh. Good to see lovely couple having fun.
Really amusing video love watching you guys your enthusiasm even in difficult circumstances is to be commended. I love the van as I am only 4ft 11 I would probably be ok in that little space and would love a little Japanese camper van .
Wishful thinking by the builder that a poptop would make something this small better. Only useful for getting dressed. It's still a nice little camper, a lot of the problems could be overcome with a little more time to rethink the way you normally do things.
Awwww baby beans bump!
I just know that you amateur experts would figure this out glad you did take care and enjoy your travels as you go thru experience with pregnancy we love your sharing with us boring people don’t ever give up on us you are great together
Two travel beans and a baked bean in that little van. You are brave. Well done and merry xmas.
Maybe the sink’s a bathtub. 😝 I’m pretty sure there’s a tablet or capsule there that you microwave and it turns into beddings. High tech!!! 😅
That was so much fun, guys! 😀
Literally 2 mins in and I'm like this is awesome I love y'all's spirit, and these videos. Can't wait for baby bean to join the trips!!!
You two (and a half) are hysterical! I am laughing with you! Only 5 more nights to go!
Cute design definitely well thought out it was only a foot longer
This laugh is contagious and so genuine 😁
Just your laughter is enough!
Your laughter is always so fun. Can’t wait to see the rest of your trip!
Great video!!! You need an air mattress and more blankets!
Oh my gosh...I have LOVED laughing along with you guys. ♥ If you can't laugh at yourself..what's the point?!
Hey Ohio Gizimus! You will never forget this trip! When you are both Old farts, you be looking back on life, laughing about being pregnant and staying in the tiny camper! It looks beautifully finished wood. But I can't imagine getting up frequently and running to the bathroom! God bless you! My wife and I traveled and stayed in Asaka for 2 weeks, stayed with american friends who were working there for a couple of years. Trip of a life time! So beautiful. I could not tell you where we went, but the people were so nice, and the country is beautiful. Everything was very expensive. Still great though! Thanks again for sharing this! God bless! AL & Diane from CT.
I would never sleep in that van!!! There are small spaces, and then there is that... too much faff for my liking move this here... move this there... Fingers crossed you get better night's sleep in coming nights. The views were amazing 👏 😍
I simply adore you both (soon to be three)!
😂😂🤣we thought we had a small van (ford Nugget). Looking forward to your Japanese adventures.
I don't think that's the number plate, it's the size range for the occupants. 2'3" - 5'9", ideal for you 👌🏻
Without being stereotypical, the Japanese and the Koreans have learned to utilize the most of space they have available. You just have to find it! All of these situations that you put yourself into merely add wonderful layers to your personalities!
That van's hilarious 😂
Love it. You both bring me so much joy.
Fun to watch. Glad it is you and not me. LOL
Cards: super tiny, and potentially many games. 😊
Wimps? Are you kidding? I can't believe you stayed the whole night - I would have been googling nearby hotels before midnight!
Yes, I would stay in this van. I’am small so it would work for me. I would buy a foam mattress.
Brilliant episode. Sending love to you all ❤
😅 that's great! Love how you guys are having a great time laughing through the situation.
We have actually slept in quite a bit worse. 🤦♀️ Self-inflicted, of course. 🙈
It was very tiny. No instruction manual? But at least you can laugh about it 🤣 Also waking up to that view had to be nice.
Nope, no chance of staying in that little half loaf 😁
What about a Smart fortwo camper? I built Gluteus Minus for my son. He lives in it at events he works at.
Laugh out loud funny watching you two try to fit in there. No, I would have baled and looked for a hotel. Of course, having been to Japan, I don't think I would have rented the campervan - I'm over 6 foot.
when you made the bed with the panels,just wondering the table at the end of the bed was had supposed to be part of it.
The official model name of the microvan that you rented in Japan is the Suzuki Every. Do you guys happen to know what year it is?
We are laughing WITH you.
I actually love the van,,,And man it is so tiny! But that being said I watched a video of some of the apartments that they live in AND pay big money for ,,,Some were about the same size at that van! Lol
Yay looks a lot of fun. Haha
Well that was interesting
Oh my goodness! That's way too small!!! I hope you manage to get much needed sleep even though that first night wasn't ideal. Also, if the heater isn't working, can you get another van? Not ideal.
I love how much fun you are having in your misery!😂
Your both doing better than I would lol
I laugh the whole video....😂😮😅
It's like a bean tin😜
We live in the Philippines and have that van
We love it
His name is Sammy after the guy we got him from
Just found you via the Newby,s and omg y made me laugh……
I’m only 5’3 don’t know if I could handle that. I’m pretty sure my husband wouldn’t at all. He’s not much of a camper but I could come up with something to handle it.
Great video Beans.
Did you deliberately rent such a small van and if so, why?
Really...such a laugh though.
John.
@whatsappme2313
Hi there again,
What you got?
Have you tried to move the front seats all the way to front?
I can't stop laughing!
It’s sooo small!
The Japanese countryside all over the country is infinitely better than any of the cities.... I lived in Iwate-ken in Northern Japan for four years after college (2000-2004) overlooking the Sanriku Coast. If you get a chance to see the north another time, it's absolutely stunning. Almost a whole different Japanese culture (they also have their own dialects).
Are you sure that table top doesn't become part of the bed base too?
oh this is going to be funny.. i traveled in Japan many years ago and i am a large man and found that i had issue with beds and hotel rooms so god help you all. best of luck, ask for Gaijin size items. BTW hotels are about that thin for the beds.. get some extra padding you can use it in the van and the rooms if you stay in one.
I think it was an lcd screen rather than plasma
Funniest video you have made. Cant wait to see the next one, keep the negatives in it as it makes it funny.
I wouldn't park there! Godzilla could come right out that water and crush you!🤪🤪
I see a hotel in your near future 😂
Get down to Osaka, Kobe especially. I lived in that area 18 years. I can hook you hope with a great host who can show you the best of Kobe. KOBE BEEF!
Maybe one can sleep on the rooftop tent?
Average height of a man in Japan is 5' 7". American man it's 5'9" so it's not THAT different and yet everything in Japan is made for 5' people for some reason. lol I think I would have seen how far the front seats reclined and just slept in those. If they recline and you put the luggage at your feet, you might be able to make a decent enough bed. SO interesting though to see how other countries do things. I would guess the microwave is for ramen or heating water.
Your attitude toward the whole experience with the tiny van is exemplary. I only hope that by the end of this Japan trip you are still laughing! By the way, I think you said in the beginning that the van could sleep up to four???? Where for God's sake do the other two sleep? Sitting up in the front I guess. smh
What is in the cabinet over your head?
Nice 👍 best of luck 👍
I am from Karachi Pakistan 🇵🇰❤️
That looks horrific ! That mattress is a joke, it must be sooooo uncomfortable !! I suspect you will be in a Hotel sooner than planned ! Good luck ! J
I guess you'd say this little camper van was "full of beans" - Love your adventures and you always make me laugh!
That was unexpected on so many levels :D Rarely I laugh so loud watching videos, thank you for that, I needed it! Love you both. Take it easy, though. The little Beanie needs comfort!
It's heaven..I've been to Japan 7 times ...my hubby passed away 5 years ago but we had such a laugh....be happy and enjoy your time together ❤️..Japan will make you feel like a better person...they are so friendly and the food is great 👍 xxx
😂😂😂 you guys are hilarious and you always keep smiling…I’d be cranky with no sleep or heat and add being pregnant to that I know I’d bite someone. 😂
You guys are sooooooooo funny and FUN to watch. Happy travels in Japan, can't wait for the next video :)
