Key Considerations for Your Rental
* Kei-Cars (Yellow Plate): These are small, fuel-efficient, and very common in Japan. They are perfect for narrow roads in rural areas but may feel underpowered on steep mountains.
* Luggage Space: Remember that Japanese cars are often smaller than what you might be used to. If you are traveling as a group, always choose a vehicle with more space than you think you need.
* Booking Tip: Always book in advance, especially if you are visiting during peak seasons like Cherry Blossom (Spring) or Autumn.
