Moving Inn’s New Chitose Airport location is a Hokkaido campervan rental base just minutes from the airport by car.

What is Moving Inn? An Obihiro-based hospitality company enters campervan rental

Moving Inn is a company that has operated accommodation facilities based in Obihiro, Hokkaido. With a proven track record of welcoming domestic and international travelers through hotel and glamping operations, staff are well-versed in English and Chinese communication. A hospitality company that truly understands what travelers need launched campervan rentals at New Chitose Airport in June 2026 — that is what fundamentally sets Moving Inn apart from other rental companies.

Beyond simply renting out vehicles, the company operates under the concept of “delivering the appeal of Hokkaido from the very start of your journey.” If you run into any issues, you can consult via LINE, SMS, or phone, with full support available throughout your trip.

English- and Chinese-speaking staff — a reassuring rental company for inbound travelers

For international travelers wanting to rent a campervan in Hokkaido, the first barrier is language. If explanations about how to use the vehicle, insurance details, and emergency contact procedures cannot be given in your own language, anxiety sets in before the trip even begins.

Drawing on years of experience welcoming international guests at its Obihiro accommodations, Moving Inn provides staff fluent in English and Chinese. Beyond in-person explanations at the counter, trip support via LINE, SMS, and phone is also available in English and Chinese, so you can reach out easily if anything comes up on the road. “I could actually understand the vehicle explanation,” “I felt safe knowing I could contact them anytime” — experiences like these are why travelers choose Moving Inn.

“Not sure where to go?” — Travel pros help you plan your Hokkaido route

Hokkaido is vast. Eastern, Northern, Central, Southern — deciding which area to visit and how many nights you need can be daunting for first-timers.

Moving Inn’s staff have spent years in the hospitality industry in Obihiro, hearing from travelers about where they were moved and what surprised them. “If you have 5 days, this route is best,” “If you have kids, this area is great” — staff with real on-the-ground experience will help plan an itinerary suited to your trip.

Getting local insights you won’t find in any guidebook is another Moving Inn advantage. Even before booking, or just to talk about your trip, feel free to reach out.

The confidence that comes from Obihiro & Tokachi hospitality experience

Moving Inn is more than a rental company. It has operated accommodation facilities in the Obihiro and Tokachi area, welcoming guests from Taiwan, Hong Kong, mainland China, Europe, North America, and beyond. Staff who know firsthand what international travelers struggle with and what delights them are at the campervan rental counter — that is the source of reassurance no other rental company can match. If you plan to explore Moving Inn’s home region of Tokachi by campervan, check out our 2-night 3-day route linking Shikaribetsu Lake and Tokachigawa Onsen.

If anything comes up during your trip, reach out via LINE, SMS, or phone at any time. No question is too small. Making sure you enjoy your journey is Moving Inn’s job.

FAQ

Can I rent with an international driver’s license?

In Japan, international driver’s licenses issued by Geneva Convention member countries are valid. Please confirm the details with Moving Inn at the time of booking.

This applies only to licenses from Geneva Convention member states and territories. A Taiwanese license isn’t covered — it requires the original license plus a Japanese translation, as do licenses from Switzerland, Germany, France, Belgium, and Monaco (valid for one year after arrival in Japan). A license issued in mainland China isn’t valid for driving in Japan at all (Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, on Geneva Convention signatory countries, confirmed July 30, 2026). See our guide to required documents by nationality for the full picture.

Can communication be done in English or Chinese?

Yes. Moving Inn has extensive experience hosting international travelers at its Obihiro accommodations and can handle inquiries and explanations in both English and Chinese. Pre-booking inquiries are very welcome.

Is it available in winter?

The Cresson Journey comes standard with an FF heater and is designed for winter overnight stays. However, Hokkaido winters involve heavy snow and icy roads, so we recommend consulting Moving Inn in advance about your driving experience and travel timing.

How far is it from New Chitose Airport?

The location is just a few minutes by car from New Chitose Airport. Detailed access information will be provided at the time of booking.

Can I bring my pet?

Pets are allowed in the Cresson Journey and EURO BOX models. As long as your pet stays in a cage, there is no extra fee (confirmed directly with the operator, August 4, 2026). If you are considering a campervan trip with a cat or other pet, our Hokkaido Campervan Travel Guide with Cats may also be helpful.
