I spent a day on the road with a Japanese truck driver to experience the world of Dekotora, short for Decoration Truck. These flashy big rigs, covered in neon lights and bold artwork, exploded in popularity during the 70s and 80s and became even more famous through the Truck Yaro film series. The plan for this trip was simple. Drive south, make a few stops to refuel and rest, and end the day in Toyama where we would spend the night inside the truck. Early the next morning, we would continue toward Noto, an eighteen hour journey in total.
Kazuya, the driver I am riding with, is a member of Utamaro kai, a nationwide Dekotora group with chapters all over Japan and his own based in Iwate. Along the way, we planned to meet other chapters heading to the same destination. Together, they would volunteer and serve hot meals to the people in Noto who were recently affected by a major earthquake.
Every Dekotora truck is one of a kind, built from the trucker’s imagination. Parts are custom made and artwork is painted by specialists. Owners believe no design is ever complete, that each truck is always evolving. Many buy older models for their nostalgic feel and maintain them for decades, keeping the golden era of Dekotora alive.
