Hi Peter

I don't know about Japan, but there are lots of dedicated poptop
conversions on Hiaces and Bongos here, with kitchen; these are
usually rental... even heard of a little Liteace with toilet! And
have seen 80s LandCruisers with camper conversions too... now THAT is
silly, but they were rental units.

I have not seen a van like mine (XLWB high-roof) converted, but these
would be the best... cavernous interior and no need of a poptop!

If you Google New Zealand you ought to find some rental sitew with
images of Hiaces, which are the only Japanese vans now being
converted... Transits & LT/Sprinter conversions have become popular
too, as well as the odd Fiat and Renault.
Some rental outfits:
