The Great Outdoors

Japan is for nature lovers!

When Japan is mentioned, many people first think of the huge metropolis of Tokyo. And while there is a LOT to see and do just in Tokyo, there is also a very different Japan to experience outside of it. Whether you want to take in the famous Japanese gardens, do a bit of camping around stunning Lake Shikotsu on Hokkaido, hike Mt. Fuji, or play with the bunny rabbits on Okunoshima, you can fill many vacations in Japan with the great outdoors.

How about camping gear made in Japan? Like the ONLY sleeping bag on the market with a built-in mosquito net, tents that pack up super small, cooking and heating items, clothing you can wear all year round, and more cool stuff.
