Solo Overnight in a Japanese RV (in japan) 

last chance to buy the japan drop on Mavmadeit.com! we will be stopping orders for these designs tomorrow at 12pm EST! get em while you can

I'm sorry I couldn't speak well because I was nervous! Thanks Mav! Your trip to Japan makes me feel very happy.😊

This Japan arc is my favorite so far.

Man, I have always enjoyed Mav's content, but this Japan series is another a whole new level! I hope he explores some more international locations in the future, we mostly only see videos of truck camping in North America, so it's super neat to see the international perspective.

You should be the model for kindness, respect and appreciation to everyone around the world! No matter where you are, what you are doing or who you are meeting, all those traits are conveyed in your videos! It's so easy to be a person of good will while sharing your experiences with others! Thank you for being you and sharing your experiences with us! You're just AWESOME! 🙂

This series has really brought your channel to a whole new level. It's so great to see how enthusiastic you are to try new things and meet new people. Safe to say that we're all really proud of you Mav!

The kindness and generosity by the Japanese people is unlike anything I've ever seen. It's beautiful. This series has been incredible. Those monkeys were adorable. The scenery was amazing. Just wonderful. As someone who will probably never see Japan in person (I'm afraid of planes) these videos are a little glimpse of what it would be like.

These videos are literally making me want to go do this so bad! This is like a dream of mine coming to fruition thru you! The Japanese people are so hospitable and kind!

This is such an interesting series, and really makes me really curious to experience camping in the mountains around the world. Getting to embrace true Japanese culture while having the comfort and benefits of traveling in a tiny home. Thanks for the content.

Even with the language barrier they still invited you. Everyone is so nice in japan

Mavさん、日本に来てくれて、たくさん楽しんでくれて有難う😆💕✨ Mavさんの目を通して、まるで自分が旅をしているかのようにわくわくしました。健康に気をつけて安全な旅を😉👍️🎶

From the time you spent in Canada with Steve Wallis to this stint in Japan, you have made this channel so much more than it had been--in it had already been awesome. Well done, Mav.

This has to be some of the highest quality content I’ve seen on RU-vid. This Japanese arc has been incredible and Im so excited to see future adventures

That is so awesome they invited you! It means a lot! This Japanese adventure is a game changer and glad you shared it with us!

That's the closest look at Japan I've ever seen. It is so beautiful and I'd love to visit one of these days. The food really looks good too. Thanks for taking us along. The RV looks good, comfortable, and covers your needs.

Thank you for going to Japan! Your travels are so special and you really are a citizen diplomat for America. Well done, Mav, well done. Dōmo arigatōgozaimasu! 🎎🎌⛩

I don’t want this series to end this is awesome

I've got a lot respect for Japanese people. They're very resilient. Especially after watching the 2011 earthquake and tsunami and remembering it like it was yesterday, but for them to bounce back so fast is incredible.

This is the Mav video that I have been waiting for! I've been a Moriko subscriber for some time now, and Mav of course. I think it's so cool that you two randomly met each other at a campground in Japan. What a small world!

Can we all admit that this is the best trip yet? We get to see Japan through Mavs eyes and we get a new merch line 😎

Hey mav. I’m having some rough times with my old dog. Probably having his last day tomorrow 2/13. Just wanted to say your video gave me a good distraction for 20 minutes. Thank you.

I had a pretty bad day but seeing a MAV video go live made my day better! Thank you for taking us along on this journey!

The life you lead is so admirable Mav. Your adventures are things people dream of doing. I’m grateful that you take us along with you! Thank you!!

Great series Mav. It is so cool to see others in another country and culture enjoying the same interest.

I love how almost every cat you see in videos from Japan do the "I'm comfortable being around you squint" to whoever is filming, it shows how well they are treated over there. I know here back home if you see a random cat out and about 90% of the time they will bolt if you even think about walking towards them.. sad because I want to pet the kittys, it's the 10% I love the most

Mav throwing out a late night video for us right after the super bowl. What a great way to finish the weekend before bed!!

Mav, your videos in Japan are awesome and bring back great memories! I'm half Japanese and my Mom passed 2 years ago but these videos remind me of her and when I grew up in Japan 55 years ago! Thanks Mav!

I think these are some of my favorite videos you've ever done, Mav. Thank you so much. Really, really special. 🙂

Sooo much to take in on this video WOW! Ancient structures/temples and stone work is incredible to say the least. Mav, You make new friends regardless of where you go because you are open and polite and an all-around nice guy. It is wonderful how the Japanese people treat you as well, especially the campground owners/hosts. TY for sharing with us.

Wow what're the odds I'm getting ready for bed and mav uploads. That was awesome, Japan is so beautiful to see.

I was so surprised when you "arrived" in Japan. I lived there for a year back in 19**. I love Japan and am glad you are having a great time. Thanks for sharing it with us!!!

This is hq content, meeting other campers not speaking a common language, it's very easy to withdraw to your own sphere, im saying that as an scandinavian, we don't interact much if we don't need to, I've never been to Japan, but the Japanese ppl I've met, it has been smooth sailing, on the point, happy and respectful. And if we have had the time to understand eachother it's been such a joy, communicating without smalltalk. ♡♡♡

I love getting your notifications and watching the latest videos. It’s become routine. So much so I was just thinking about needing another video and here you are, thanks for your content Mav!

I follow quite a few RU-vidrs who live in Japan but are not from Japan! I'm obsessed with Japan! With your travels in Japan, I get two for the price of one! I'm so excited to see the rest of this series!

I’m so impressed with you! Awesome job and so fun to watch, can’t wait for next week!❤👍

Wow. The park is amazing! I've only ever seen the famous pictures of them. Thank you Mav for going and giving us a live view of them! I wish I could go and enjoy Japan! Such a beautiful country!

Awesome series! So glad your having the time of your life in Japan my friend. 🙏🏻

Japan is absolutely on my bucket list. Such an incredible welcoming and generous people !

I hope you make it to Oasaka but Shingu would totally be up your alley. Small fishing town. Japanese Surfers. Beautiful Shinto Shines and culture. They do a Fire fest as well called Oto Fire Festival. Loving this series Mav. Thanks for this.

Ita amazing that technology allows people to communicate like that. Your phone basically allowed you to make friends and hangout and I think that's neat. If I ever go to Japan your trip helped me realize maybe the culture barrier wouldn't really be as much of a problem as I thought.

Ngl I like the Japan arc pretty well. It's amazing to see first hand documentation of your travels man. Kinda make me wanna try those meals you cook too

Great video! What an amazing experience. The scenery the people you meet pretty much everything.

These videos are so awesome. Just as you figured, the wooden boards are called Ema. You write down a wish for yourself or friends or family and leave it there to hang. Glad you are having a good time in Japan!

Appreciate you taking us on this journey with you! Japan seems like such a beautiful place, I would love to go someday!

Absolutely Love Japan the people are so welcoming and kind, such a clean safe place to visit. Have tons of fun MAV 😊

It hurts my soul everytime he says "arigato mas" with so much confidence 😓😩

Thanks Mav for your wonderful Vlogs of Japan 🇯🇵 brings back fond memories when I was there in 2012… such a fantastic country with amazing food, and awesome camper vans too!

Japan looks like such an efficient clean place to live. Thanks for taking us along Mav!

Loving the context in so many ways and on do many levels!! You're an inspiration Mav.

Once again, thanks for sharing Mav. Your adventure is a combination of the solo times and interaction with people along the way. Being appreciative of the local culture. Very cool.

You put so much effort into your videos. It’s impressive. This is such an interesting series from your trip to Japan.

Mav thank you so much for sharing your trip. The monkey park all I can say is aww! How adorable the babies are, the temple so beautiful! It was breathtaking. The scenery so awesome! I love this! The couple who ran the camping site or ground seemed so appreciative when you told them thank you such a nice couple.

Thanks for sharing this adventure with all of us!! Safe travels!

This has been my favorite travel video. Ty for the journey.

This has been awesome! Thank you! I admire your fearless sense of adventure. I could never ever go so far out of my comfort zone solo. I've really enjoyed getting to travel vicariously through you. ♥️

Happy to see you travelling abroad and really enjoying your experience and the people, keep spreading positivity to people like you do man it’s much appreciated!

Loving this series so much! Thanks for bringing us along!

Ngl, I've been so excited for you Japan video drops. I have loved seeing how you're enjoying the Japanese countryside. I love the cities, but the countryside is somewhere so much more special. On to next Sunday 🥰

I’m so glad you’ve been able to accomplish the things you have & get to see the things you see!! ❤️❤️

Ah yeah. Love it when you post man, you really do make my day better, and inspire me to get out there. Seeing you do this Japan series is really awesome, and probably my favorite one you have done. Thanks Mav!❤

Waking up to new Mav videos gives me peace before going to work. Knowing that I could drop everything and do this if I really wanted is so cool.

Hubby and I are so excited to see your video today 😍 ❤️ we have been waiting patiently on your new adventures in Japan. We served in the Marine Corps and was stationed in Japan for several years and we truly loved it. We love how you are so humble about keeping their traditions and very respectful to their culture ❤️ 🙏 outstanding job Mav.... keep having fun and staying safe. We love you ❤️ 😍

Love the videos and seeing you go and explore the world and other cultures is so cool. Thanks for all the great content Mav have a blessed rest of your time in Japan!

I absolutely love how you can adapt to ANY situation and make it your own in an awesome way . And you thrive on knowledge . I look forward to seeing where you go next . Thank you for great knowledge , cool travels , and a fantastic channel !

I am LOVING this series Mav!!!🙌🏼 added Japan to my list of places I’d like to travel to someday.

This is just so amazing!!!!! Thank you for taking us along with you!!!

Awesome! So cool you met new friends there, Moriko's little sleeper van setup was cool, maybe you can meet up with her again :) Cheers bud!

Thank you for sharing such experiences I long to experience myself. Cheers Mav!

been loving the japan content by far my favorite series

Love this adventure Mav. Thanks for such amazing content.

I’m struggling right now and have been waiting to see this notification pop up. I’m struggling to be happy by myself right now and you’ve been my role model for a while now, it makes me hopeful to see you happy by yourself, for yourself. Thank you Mav❤️

Mav, Japan has been on my bucket list my entire life. Your adventure has just made me want to go even more. Great trip and travelogue!

This has been a joy, thanks Mav

I LOVE that there are vending machines everywhere so people can stay hydrated! Loving the Japan content. Bringing back so many memories of visiting over there! ❤

you are such a great ambassador for america. we should all be as open to new experiences and new people as you are. thanks for sharing yourself with us.

Incredible content. I love Japan. You don't have any trouble assimilating into the culture. Eager to learn and just enjoying ppl and I think they enjoy you. A great experience. I think this is one of your best series. Thanks for bring us along for this ride.😊

This 50 something year old is loving these Japan videos. I found you during lock-down in 2020 and have been following since then. While I enjoy your fishing videos, I most like your road trips. You do an outstanding job of making the viewers feel like they are traveling with you. You just talk along like we are sitting beside you. I love that! I also love that you include some of the walking around or driving around. Many RU-vidrs just show the start and then the destination. The journey is so interesting so don’t ever cut that out. Happy travels!! 🙏🏼

Man Mav, loving this. Hope you had a blast in Japan and I can't wait to go myself.

So happy for you I’ve watched this channel grow so big couldn’t be more happy

To make the gyoza: Heat a tablespoon if oil and add the gyoza when it's hit. Fry them for awhile - about 2 minutrs- 6until they are brown on the bottom, then add water to go about 1/4 way up the gyoza. Cover the pan and cook until the water has evaporated and the skin is soft, a few minutes.This will cook the inside of the dumpling. Uncover the pan when the water has evaporated and cook a couple more minutes to crisp the bottom. If using frozen gyoza, do a second round of water after the first batch has evaporated. Make a dipping sauce of soy sauce, rice vinegar and hot sauce or chili oil.

Love this series. It's cool to see a different side of Japan. Most videos focus on the inner city. Thanks!

Loving this Japan series, amazing food, friendly people

I'm so jealous man. Japan is such a dope place to visit. Can't wait until I can go back.

Love your Japanese adventure! It’s amazing. And my friend in Okinawa is watching too and explaining things to me! It’s wonderful you’re expanding your journeys! Love your channel as always. Much love from Canada 💞

I really like the subtitles/translations, not only for the Japanese food but also for Temperatures. It really helps to so the °C to get how cold it is out there

Awesome video! I live in Japan, been here for most of the past 25 + years and have never explored like this. Keep the videos coming!

Japan is such a beautiful place and I'm glad you're enjoying it as much as you are

Thank you MAV for always been such a great inspiration. Your videos and your personality bring cheers in many lives

Sweet tour Mav, thanks for sharing.

You seem more comfortable with the driving now. You are always warm and friendly to those you meet. You are a good guy Mav.

They seem like really nice people, have never thought about visiting until I saw this, thanks MAV. Keep on truckin, we love the content!

Thanks Mav, really enjoying this!

Love this series Mav! Travel is such an educational experience, broadening one's horizons and understanding of different cultures. We also love your US camping adventures too! Keep on truckin'! Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

I follow Moriko’s channel and it’s so amazing you guys have crossed paths 😊

What amazing people you have met on this beautiful journey!

Amazing series, with majestic views, experiences abound, memories and friends made. So happy you have shared with us, Japan is on my list and I may not get there. So happy and proud for you Mav !! 😃👊

You have such an adventurous spirit! It’s a beautiful thing….it takes a lot of courage to travel by yourself to a far away country that you don’t know the language or anyone. Japan is very safe though. Enjoy your time…definitely a trip of a lifetime. I feel this trip has renewed some joy within your soul. Thank you

I look forward to these videos every week love the content dude

Loving the videos Mav 👍 be safe and have fun 🙌
