【Day 1】 Into the Winter Mountains! Experiencing KINTO's "Mobi-Camp" with the Land Cruiser

When you hear "winter camping," what kind of scenery comes to mind? Many of you probably picture the Land Cruiser conquering the vast deserts of the Middle East or tackling tough off-road trails in South America. But this time, I took my Land Cruiser on a special journey to experience the "beautiful winter of Japan."

A Day When More Than 1,000 Land Cruisers Gathered at Fuji Speedway

On Sunday, June 14, 2026, I attended LAND CRUISER FES JAPAN 2026 at Fuji Speedway in Japan.

The moment I arrived at the venue, I was greeted by an incredible sight: row after row of Land Cruisers, far more than I could count at a glance.
There were more than 1,000 vehicles in total, and the scene truly lived up to the title of one of the largest Land Cruiser events in Japan.

What impressed me even more was how far people had come.
Looking at the license plates, I could see that owners had traveled from all over Japan.
From the north to the south of the country, Land Cruiser fans gathered at Fuji Speedway for this one special day.
That alone showed just how meaningful this event was.

Land Cruiser Events in Japan: A Local's Guide (2026–2027)

In June 2026, 440 Land Cruiser 40s gathered at a campsite at the foot of Mt. Fuji. Cars from the 1960s to the 1980s — a sight most 40 Series fans around the world would love to see even in photos. Yet most of the world never knew it happened.

Things like this happen in Japan all year round. In the volcanic highlands of Mt. Aso, owners are preparing the 27th edition of their annual gathering. In Hokkaido, a Toyota dealership builds an off-road course out of snow. Almost all of it is announced only in Japanese — on organisers' Instagram accounts and regional dealership pages. It can be difficult to find, or verify, in English.

This guide, put together by the Japan-based team behind Toyota Community, currently covers 15 events, each with a link to its event page. We verify organiser information wherever available and clearly label listings whose official channels are still being confirmed. Updated monthly.
