Nippon Rent-A-Car

Car rental can be a great way to get around Japan and Myoko. Japan has an amazing highway system and great roads making it a perfect place to navigate via car.

Myoko has many buses that can take you to all the popular resort areas and tourist spots but the flexibility of your own vehicle allows you to visit any place at any time. There are also some areas that buses don’t go past that you can only reach by car.

We recommend using Nippon Rent-A-Car. They have hundreds of locations all over the country making it very easy to pick up and drop of your vehicle. They also have a huge selection of vehicles, so you can be sure to find something that suits your requirements.

Nippon Rent-A-Car have an office at Nagano Station and also Joetsu Myoko Station. If you are traveling first to Myoko via bullet train, this can be a great place to pick up your car.

Winter Car Rentals

DO NOT COME TO MYOKO WITH OUT SNOW TYRES

If you are planning to rent a car during winter in Myoko it is very important that you follow this information.

You will need a car equipped with snow tyres. This is not optional but a total necessity. You must have winter tyres on your rental car. If not, you will find you are unable to drive in Myoko and you may even have a dangerous accident.

Snow tyres are an optional extra when booking your car. If you are collecting your car from Narita/Tokyo and other areas except those mentioned below it will cost 2,160 yen per day or 3,240yen depending on car class.

If you are collecting your car from a snowy area such as as Niigata, Nagano, Tohoku, Hokkaido etc the snow tyres are free of charge in the winter season.

We also highly recommend a 4WD car during winter. In some cases, a 2WD is okay but if you are staying in Akakura area as most people are a 4WD is highly recommended.

There is an additional charge of 1,650yen per day for 4WD. 4WD and snow tyres are limited so please be sure to book in advance.
