In this episode of the Right Hand Drive Guys Podcast, we dive into one of Japan’s most fascinating automotive subcultures — their love affair with vans and wagons. From the performance-packed Evo 9 Wagon to the ultra-luxurious Toyota Alphard and Vellfire, we explore why these practical rides have such a massive following in Japan.

We break down what makes JDM vans and wagons so special — the craftsmanship, comfort, styling, and over-the-top customization that turn everyday family cars into status symbols. Plus, we share which models we’d import in a heartbeat and how the van culture in Japan compares to what we see in the U.S.

🎙️ From track-ready wagons to VIP vans — discover why Japan does “family cars” better than anyone else.
