Saigoku Kaidō: 5-day campervan (Yamasaki→Chōfu)

5 days, 4 nights ・ ≈757 km ・ 18h 58m driving (estimated)

Saigoku Kaidō (579 km): 15 days on foot in the Edo period, 10 by express horse — 5 days by campervan, passing all 52 post towns. Overnight stops are only michi-no-eki and RV parks we checked for 24-hour toilets and no "no overnight parking" signs. One-way trip: confirm drop-off at another branch with the rental company first.
