No. In Japan, public restrooms are everywhere, and public parking lots and loading stations often have restrooms, and they are very clean. If you need to use the restroom while traveling, you can stop at a convenience store or service parking lot to use a clean restroom. You will have no difficulty finding a convenience store or such a location.
It’s a great place for a campervan road trip in all seasons. April, with its beautiful cherry blossoms, is warm and pleasant; May, October, and November are especially pleasant in the car, with temperatures neither too high nor too low. In May, October, and November, temperatures are neither too high nor too low, so you will feel especially comfortable in your car. In particular, November is my personal favorite time of year because of the relatively large number of sunny days and beautiful autumn foliage. In summer, you can enjoy the natural coolness of the mountains at high altitudes. However, since the temperature does not drop even at night in summer, be careful where you go, such as staying at campgrounds near high elevation areas.
In Japan, children under six must use a child restraint sysytem, and it’s recommended for those up to 140cm in height.
KUGA vehicles do not have rear seats, so please install these child seats on the passenger seat.
Consequently, the passenger seat airbag will not deploy.
ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) is the system which is used to record expressway tolls automatically.
TAB Japan rents out ETC cards at a low rate of 500 yen per card. When you return the card, you will be asked to confirm and pay the usage fee using the ETC card system.
By using an ETC card, you can use toll roads at a discount depending on the time of day and route.
