Toyota Hiace 2.8 TRD Camper Custom (4-Bed)
Campervan, Camper, Automatic
The Hiace Cruising Cabin Custom is a high-quality compact camper, originally built by Toyota & dealer supplied when new, as a 4-berth camper. This is not an inferior conversion. We have improved it with a high-quality sound system, Widened the body & fitted Watanabe wheels & added a comfortable Recaro seat for the driver, for better long-distance comfort. Our staff have used this vehicle for touring with a family of 4, for up to 10 days at a time, in total comfort. In Japan, there is no need for in-built showers and smelly portable toilets, since all public facilities are clean and there are natural hot springs in most towns and villages.
Equipped with 2 large auxiliary batteries and two starter motor batteries, to reliably power & separately start the 2.8L Diesel engine, this vehicle offers excellent facilities for family touring in a compact, easy to drive package.
N.B. This vehicle is NOT intended, nor equipped for use in heavy winter weather. Please contact us for alternatives, in case you need a vehicle for such use (e.g. snowboarding).
Lots of other optional equipment also available, including other camping equipment - See Extras!

Bicycle Rack
If you're thinking of bringing your own bicycles, this solution is for you.
¥1,000
JPY - Per item per rental
Most airlines allow each passenger to bring an item of sports gear for a small fee. Bicycles are allowed if boxed (Check for conditions with your carrier before travelling).
If you’re a keen cyclist, you’ll probably be familiar with these versatile carriers. They're of excellent design and versatility.
Please note: You are responsible for making sure you travel safely.
It is very important to fasten your bike(s) to the carrier securely. Straps are included and we are able to supply thick, strong bungees too.




Snowboard / Ski Rack
Perfect for carrying your winter gear, safely & secured on the roof.
¥1,000
JPY - Per item per rental
If you’re planning on doing some winter sports as part of your trip, this kit makes good sense, so you avoid damaging or wetting the car's interior and avoid taking up interior space without necessity.
Accepts Snowboards or skis. Just add to your booking and we’ll make sure the equipment is attached to your vehicle before pickup.






Folding Bicycle with Bag
Good Quality and compact. Ideal for exploring & more fun!
¥1,000
JPY - Per item per rental
We like these, especially for exploring Tokyo and other cities such as Kyoto.
When considering foldable bicycles, we researched lots until we discovered these.
Like much of our range of other camping gear, these fold up compact but are well designed and built.
The twin-tube main section of the frame adds stiffness and strength. Fittings are of good quality and riding quality is good.
We didn’t cheap-out and go for the cheapest option, but chose decent bikes – that’ll serve you well.
We supply a lock, so you can ride and park with peace of mind and a quality tailored bag for storage when not in use.
Ride safe!






Heated Blanket
For those who like a pre-warmed bed. Even when camping!
¥1,000
JPY - Per item per rental
Although our sleeping bags are rated up to winter use, this is the cherry on the cake!
Having a warm bed awaiting you when at a campsite, or wherever you can access electrical power, is definite camping luxury.
Just put this under your cover sheet and leave it on for 30 minutes (adjustable temp) with your sleeping bag(s) opened and covering the bed - it’ll be toasty warm when you get into bed.


Exterior Table & Chairs / Luxury & Compact Option
For when you’re planning to cook & take your time to relax, whilst camping.
¥1,000
JPY - Per item per rental
When we go camping ourselves, we find these table and chairs are used daily. Ease of setting-up is important, so the choices we’ve selected are compact and comfortable, yet pack away in a few minutes.
For camping vehicles, you can choose the Luxury set. These include larger chairs and some of them even recline. There are beer holders too. Perfect to sit back & enjoy the evening together watching the sunset after a natural hot spring, as the charcoal in the BBQ takes time to get up to temperature.






Portable Camping Fan
In humid weather. Stay cool!
¥1,000
JPY - Per item per rental
Another compact solution. Just connect to mains or use with a portable power supply and have a cooling breeze whenever you want. Also great for warding off insects without the use of sprays or smoke, which can be hazardous or unwanted, when sleeping in compact spaces.


Nature Hike Portable Pressure Shower & Pop-up Canopy
Cool or hot shower - when exposed to sunshine. Compact, portable & useful for washing up too!
¥1,000
JPY - Per item per rental
If you like great ideas, you’ll like this cool & compact kit. For many, the allure of Japanese natural hot springs may make this choice redundant, but if you intend on going camping or hiking and want to have the ability to have a shower in privacy, we’ve got you covered!
Simply fill the collapsible water container, pump a few times to gain pressure, then use. Both the shower kit and canopy fold into compact bags, so these won’t take up too much of the car’s precious luggage space, either!






Ultra-Fine Fast-Drying Sports Camping Towel with Mesh Bag.
For people who don’t like musty smelly, heavy cotton towels when on a road trip, or camping.
¥1,000
JPY - Per item per rental
We offer these lightweight quick-drying synthetic Micro-Fiber towels as alternatives to heavier and slower drying cotton towels. They come in a neat little mesh bag too. 100mm x 30mm, they’re just big enough to dry yourself, whether inside the shower canopy, or taking a dip in the crystal clear waters of some of Fuji’s surrounding lakes.
They’re inexpensive, so we offer these as an inexpensive purchase to take with you after use. We offer several colours. Dark Blue Grey, Purple & Pink, so it’s easy to identify. Just pick your preferred colour when you arrive, or alternatively we’ll just put different coloured towels in the car for you & your crew.








Suaoki Multi-Purpose Solar USB Lantern, Flashlight & Charger
The coolest little source of light & more - we’ve come across! Not for rent – but for you to take home!
¥1,000
JPY - Per item per rental
You’ll love this clever little Solar power light and USB charger for your phone. It’s small, expands to make a lantern, or can be used as a flash-light. It charges either via a USB power source (our cars are each equipped with one) or from sunlight. Can be used to charge a phone, when you connect to the integrated USB socket. It's got 3 light modes and will usually easily last through the night. Get one for each of you. It's something you'll want for this & other outdoor adventures in future.












20m Electrical Extension Reel
With 4 x 100V 50Hz Sockets & 20m range, whenever you find yourself on a campsite, you'll have power.
¥1,000
JPY - Per item per rental
Great for all electrical extras including a heated blanket(s), portable fridge, etc. If you're using one of our Hiace Campers, you’ll be able to charge the auxiliary battery whilst living aboard. Also when combined with a Suaoki Power supply, you’ll be able to charge it – and in turn all your USB and other powered goods too.
Compact Portable Power Supply
100v 60Hz, USB sockets, 12V & 2 sources of light. Charges from the car or when connected to mains.
¥1,000
JPY - Per item per rental
Great for charging your smartphones, Internet LAN, powering laptops & providing power for electrical goods. Easy to charge whilst on the go, simply by plugging into the car's lighter socket. When you need light, 2 powerful beams can be used. For outdoor adventures, we also recommend USB chargeable lights, which we offer for you to take home after use.








Exterior Table & Chairs
For when you’re planning to cook & take your time to relax, whilst camping.
¥1,000
JPY - Per item per rental
When we go camping ourselves, we find these table and chairs are used daily. Ease of setting-up is important, so the choices we’ve selected are compact and comfortable, yet pack away in a few minutes.
For camping vehicles, you can choose the Luxury set. These include larger chairs and some of them even recline. There are beer holders too. Perfect to sit back & enjoy the evening together watching the sunset after a natural hot spring, as the charcoal in the BBQ takes time to get up to temperature.


Crockery & Cutlery Set (for up to 6 people)
Here again, camping kits often leave much to be desired. Not with our kit.
¥1,000
JPY - Per item per rental
Floppy plastic plates and weak cutlery that bends at the mere sight of a well-done steak just won’t cut it!
Our kit includes stronger (& robust) hard plastic plates, cups, glasses and assorted cutlery, as a set for up to 6 people, just in case you find some campers along the way you want to invite over for a barbie and a few beers.
Never know, you meet all sorts of people on the road whilst touring Japan! Please return all in the same clean condition as supplied. Thanks!


Cooking Set
What’s included? A: Everything but the stove, but there is a sink!
¥1,000
JPY - Per item per rental
In our experience, cooking sets for camping are usually pretty shoddy & basic in quality, made of aluminum (flakes of which are not good for human consumption!), or both! At Jomon, we refuse to offer our customers what we’d dislike using ourselves. So instead, we’ve created a comprehensive kit, using more robust (stainless steel) but compact alternative pans incl. a strainer and kettle, a 20L fresh-water tank with pump operated dispenser, plastic bowl, a chopping board, can opener, decent cutting knives, a lighter, aluminum foil and even a small box for condiments and a washing-up kit. All we ask is that you return all in the same clean condition as supplied, OK!




Quilted Sheet, 2 Single Compact Sleeping Bags & 2 Pillow / Covers
Sleep soundly in the fresh air and peace of the countryside.
¥1,000
JPY - Per item per rental
All except our convertible sportscars are either campers, or vehicles that have sufficient trunk space to also carry a camping set, which you can tailor to your preferred spec, so you can truly enjoy freedom whilst exploring Japan. With say, one of our hatchback sports models we wouldn't recommend sleeping inside, but you can bring your tent, etc. if preferred. Most won't want to bring bulky bedding though, so we offer comfortable seasonally suited sleeping gear, freshly washed and ready for your use. This set includes a Quilted Sheet, 2 Single Sleeping bags + 2 pillows & cases.

2 x Self-Inflating Single Air Mattresses
Resting comfortably is important during your road trip.
¥1,000
JPY - Per item per rental
These mattresses are intended for use when camping, or if your chosen vehicle won’t accommodate say two teenagers who may sometimes prefer to have their own accommodation! Simply open the lid, allow each mattress to inflate and close. To store, just reopen the lid, roll tightly and refit.
Please Note: Jomon’s Hiace Campers and Roof Tent equipped vehicles don’t need these for normal capacity, as either there’s already integrated mattress(es), or one is also included with the package where there’s not sufficient cushioning.


Self-Inflating Double Air Mattress
Resting comfortably is important during your road trip.
¥1,000
JPY - Per item per rental
These are intended for use when camping; for example, if your chosen vehicle won't accommodate you both. Simply open the lid, allow the mattress to inflate and close. To store, just reopen the lid, roll tightly and refit.
Please Note: Jomon’s Hiace Campers and Roof Tent equipped vehicles don’t need these for normal capacity, as either there’s already integrated mattress(es), or one is also included with the package where there’s not sufficient cushioning.

¥1,000
JPY - Per item per rental
Jomon will provide you with a belt-positioned booster seat to be used in the back seat, for children who have outgrown an infant seat. The belt-positioned booster seat must be used in seating positions equipped with lap and shoulder belts. Children weighing 33-80lbs (15-36 Kg) should use these seats. Please book in advance of arrival to ensure availability.


Portable BBQ (incl. one box Charcoal & lighters)
If you like the outdoors, you’ll love the food you can find in Japan & grill over red hot coals.
¥1,000
JPY - Per item per rental
We researched long and hard to find this compact solution. Stainless Steel construction, so it’s easy to clean with (supplied) scrubbing pad, folds up into a flat pack, so it takes up minimal space!
