Last year, Giorgetto Giugiaro visited the Toy-Factory booth
"Living Legend Car Designer"
At last year's "Automobile Council 2025", Giorgetto Giugiaro, who designed the "LAIKA KREOS L 5009", visited Japan and came to the Toy-Factory exhibition booth.

Dedicated Camper Van Storage Facility "Riku no Marina" (Land Marina)
For those considering purchasing a camper van who have concerns such as "no storage space at home or nearby" or "want to store it in a secure environment", we offer a dedicated camper van motor pool facility called 'Riku no Marina'.
This facility utilizes the "motor pool system", a special exception for camper vans, which allows for obtaining a garage certificate even if the storage location is 2km or more away from home. This reduces concerns about storage space and provides an environment where you can start your camper van life with peace of mind.

Company Profile
Toy-Factory, headquartered in Kani City, Gifu Prefecture, is a camper van manufacturer that holds the top position in Japan for Hiace-based camper van production and is Asia's No. 1 in sales of FIAT DUCATO-based camper vans.
Our camper vans are equipped with various unique technologies, built without compromising the inherent safety of the vehicle guaranteed by the automobile manufacturer. From "high-insulation body construction" that suppresses temperature differences, which is an indicator of comfort for overnight stays in vehicles, to our camper vans' characteristic "aero windows", and the "Cool Comp System" equipped with a highly efficient solar power generation system jointly developed with a major electronics manufacturer and a household inverter cooler, our camper vans have adopted numerous features ahead of the industry to ensure comfortable overnight travel.
In addition to camper vans, we also manufacture special vehicles such as doctor cars and multi-purpose vehicles like MARU MOBI for local governments and organizations, tailored to the specific needs of each customer down to the smallest detail. In the 'Jounetsu Tairiku' program aired in the spring of 2021, Toy-Factory's manufacturing philosophy and passion for camper vans were featured, receiving a great response.
In September 2022, we signed an official dealer agreement with Stellantis Japan for Fiat Professional, and in 2023, we announced a new camper van based on the Fiat Ducato.
In 2025, we were awarded as the dealer with the highest sales of FIAT DUCATO in the Asia-Pacific region, including India, Asia, and Australia.
