Japan is a leading manufacturer of innovative tiny vehicles. It was fun and amusing to see many dinky cars, trucks and rv's while we were touring around the country. I took a few photos of some of the more interesting ones.
The first couple photos below are Shigefume's cool roadster who caught up with us on the road on our first day of touring. He has a yen for fast cars, motorcycles, and kayaks.

These small vans are real popular and saw them everywhere
Cool Diahatsu roadster
We were surprised to see RV's in Japan. I parked my BF next to it for size comparison purposes. This is actually one of the larger ones we saw.
This really tiny motorhome is sooo cute and cool. It's not much bigger than my teardrop trailer. I wish I could bring it home.
Sufer dude's tiny van
I may be able to squeeze my BF in the bed of this truck?
Cool grill to this van
This small utility truck is very popular with the farmers
This is my favorite shooort bed truck. So short in fact that I would have to fold up the Bike Friday but so very cool. See funny front below.
Note location of steering wheel
Another cool little van
New retro looking coupe
Japanese version of a Smart Car (?)
Mini-Coopers are real popular here
I like the big window retro look to this older van. Rear view of same car below.

Hey Geno, cool pictures man. I really enjoyed the tiny RVs... I showed my visitors your tiny motorhome pics at my blog. I think we'll start seeing "rigs" like those in the U.S. soon! Later, Alex
