I always liked hiking, snowboarding, camping and other such outdoor activities, so when we had the birth of our child and grew larger as a family, I decided to purchase a camper van to spend some time on weekends as a family. I felt drawn to the "design performance" of camper vans from Toy-Factory. Features like "safety" and "security" I feel are given, so considering that safety is given, I felt Toy-Factory offered exceptional design. I did not have to compare products from various companies that made camper vans but I had already made up my mind that "if we were to purchase a camper van, we should buy from Toy-Factory".

We travel at least once a month as a family. We go to campsites and a variety of other places when we travel. A good thing about a camper van is that it allows you to "suddenly go on a trip". Ordinarily traveling requires preparation and one would need to book accommodations in advance and the like, but with a camper van we can just go on a whim, like "the weather is good today, so let's just go out there for a trip!"  It is also not a problem to change our mind on our destination and we do not arrive at any particular accommodation but just stay overnight at a roadside tourist stop. That sort of flexibility is an advantage.

The way we have fun with camping is by relaxing (laugh). I just love sitting back and watching how they enjoy themselves. Children find a variety of ways to have fun in the great outdoors and that makes it interesting. My wife often cooks and I love eating cheerfully together. I feel that camping gives us relaxing, calming and enriching flow of time.

That would be our trip to Hokkaido. When children were on their summer vacation we took a ferry from Tsuruga in Fukui Prefecture and went as far as Tomakomai and toured around Hokkaido over about eight days. It was very beautiful and we like to travel there again as a family.

I have loved the ocean and the mountains since I was single but it pretty much became exclusively mountains when we got children. I love mountain climbing and snowboarding. We try to go snowboarding at least once during each season. Of course, we take our camper van from Toy-Factory when we go to the mountains, and the cold proofing feature comes in handy and we are comfortable even when we go on cold mountains.

It is an expensive purchase, but I do not believe anyone would regret buying a camper van. There is so much more to be gained from it. For me, we travel more as a family and that increased our memories as a family and our bond strengthened because we purchased a camper van. I believe that such memories and experiences cannot be traded for anything else.
