Highly recommended! You can't go wrong! First-time camp touring

When choosing a touring tent, weight and size are important. Since you'll be loading it onto your motorcycle, a compact one is ideal.
Also, a lightweight tent is more convenient, so I recommend choosing one that weighs between 3kg and 4kg. The tent's spaciousness is also crucial. When camping by motorcycle, you'll likely store your luggage inside the tent, so it's recommended to choose a tent larger than the stated capacity.
When going on a solo camping tour, it might be good to choose a 2-person tent or a 1-2 person tent instead of a 1-person tent. Now, one of the anxieties for camping beginners might be whether they can set up a tent at the campsite.
For such people, a pop-up tent is recommended.

You can easily set up the tent like a folding umbrella, so it's safe for beginners.

There are also freestanding and non-freestanding tents, so choose according to your intended use.

Freestanding tents stand on their own with poles, so they can be set up without staking pegs or poles into the ground.
They can even be set up on asphalt, making them convenient for setting up in places other than campsites. Non-freestanding tents are set up by staking pegs or poles into the ground or using guy lines.
It might be a bit challenging for beginners, but you'll get used to it with practice.
Since non-freestanding tents are often lighter than freestanding tents, they are more
recommended for touring.

Since it's a 2-person tent, you can use it spaciously for solo touring and camping.

The flysheet on the rear has a zipper, and opening it allows you to create a rear vestibule.

Camping tours are highly likely to encounter sudden rain, so waterproofing is greatly appreciated.

〇 There are campsites where no reservation is required and you can enter if there's space available, and
many campsites with good management systems often require advance reservations. To avoid arriving only to find you can't enter the campsite,
it's best to check beforehand if a reservation is needed. Also, during long holidays such as summer vacation or Golden Week,
most campsites tend to be fully booked, so it's recommended to check multiple campsites.

〇 It's also important to check for the presence of showers and toilets.

〇 And, when staying at a campsite during a motorcycle tour, it's crucial whether you can park your motorcycle next to your tent.

It can be quite difficult to leave your motorcycle in the parking lot and carry your luggage and gear. Many campsites have a considerable distance from the parking lot to the tent site, so it's best if you can park your motorcycle next to your tent.

It's very worrying to leave your beloved bike far away, isn't it? If you can keep it nearby, you can enjoy camping with peace of mind and cherish your time with your bike.

〇 It's important to research access to the campsite in advance. It's common for campsites to be in secluded areas, and some places are only visited by campsite users.

There are also many unpaved roads, so if you're going to a campsite on a non-off-road bike, you might have difficulty riding.
Checking with Google Maps beforehand should allow you to enjoy your touring camp with peace of mind.
