"From HiAce to Snowboard Camper: My Journey Converting a Van into a Cabin on Wheels for Exploring Japan's Surf and Snow Culture"

Looking for a unique way to experience Japan's surf and snow scene? Consider converting a van into your very own snowboard camper. That's exactly what I did when I bought a used HiAce 200 DX 4WD Diesel and began the process of turning it into a cozy cabin on wheels.

In this video series, I'll take you through each step of the conversion process, from installing insulation and building custom storage solutions to creating a comfortable sleeping area and adding all the necessary amenities. Along the way, I'll also be practicing my Japanese language skills, making these videos a fun and interactive way to learn a new language while pursuing my passion for snowboarding.

So join me on my journey as I explore Japan's surf and snow culture from the comfort of my own snowboard camper. Whether you're an experienced van lifer or a first-time camper, you're sure to find plenty of inspiration and practical tips for turning your own van into a cozy cabin on wheels.
