Our very first night/trip on a campervan. So were having lots of question about sleeping in a carpark in japan. Well, first, we arrive in the road station after sundown, so was not about to see clearly what we drive by. The toilet is kept cleaned, no insects crawling around. No proper bathing facility but we make do with the handicapped toilet. The roadstation is also quite full as the restaurant at the road station was still opened. There were pizzas sellings and some one had a small pool for children to fish stuffs out of it.

At the roadside station Kanra, the mascot Kanra-chan will greet you. You can shop for agricultural specialties, souvenirs, and meals. They also sell Italian wine and olive oil imported directly from their sister city in Italy, and other items that can only be found here. It is also close to the three major parks: Mentai Park, Konnyaku Park, and Wild Kingdom Gunma Safari Park. You can also see the Matsui family residence from the Edo period for free. It is also nice to stroll around the Oda family Obata samurai residence and the atmosphere of the Edo period. The Kanra Town History and Folklore Museum is nearby, so you can deepen your knowledge.
