The Japan RV Association is an industry organization dedicated to promoting the development of the RV industry and improving the infrastructure for overnight stays in RVs. In recent years, the association has been working in collaboration with local governments and related businesses to promote the use of RVs not only for tourism but also as a means of addressing regional challenges, such as disaster response.

Trends in RVs
According to data surveyed, compiled, and released by the Japan RV Association (JRVA), the number of recreational vehicles (RVs) in Japan—which has continued to rise since the survey began in 2005—surpassed 100,000 in 2016 and reached 173,000 by 2025, making "road trips" in RVs a growing trend. Furthermore, thanks to the recent boom in inbound tourism, rental RVs are being used not only by international visitors but also by many Japanese travelers, and "drive tourism" is becoming increasingly popular.

About RV Parks
In response to the growing demand for RV travel, the Japan RV Association (JRVA) has been certifying "RV Parks"—facilities where travelers can sleep comfortably and safely in their vehicles—since 2012. Since 2021, the number of RV Parks has been increasing at a rate of 100 per year. Currently, there are over 670 RV Parks nationwide, established at various facilities such as hot spring resorts, lodging facilities, roadside stations, and amusement parks, and their number continues to grow year by year.
