After giving up the corporate life for one on the road, "campervangelist" Ikuma Nakagawa came to realize he wanted to help others experience the enlightenment his nomadic lifestyle brings.
To do this, he found an idyllic locale to set up a hub where like-minded travelers can enjoy the best of their four-wheeled accommodations.
In December 2019, Nakagawa, 41, opened the Inaka Backpacker House in rural Anamizu in Ishikawa Prefecture, dubbed Japan's first "livable" campervan facility.
