Holders of Swiss, German, French, Belgian, Monaco and Taiwanese licenses must carry the “Japanese translation” at the same time as the original of the relevant license. In Germany you can contact ADAC to organise the translation.

Anyone with driver’s license issued in a country other than the above, please carry your international driver’s license based on the 1949 Geneva Road Convention. It is valid for one year from the date of issue. More info here.
Everyone must also carry their passport.

Please do not forget to bring both your original driver’s license and international driving permit with you. (A copy or data of either are not valid for you to drive in Japan.)

Yes, a credit card is required for all rentals. We do accept Visa or MasterCard Credit Cards and it must be in the name of the primary driver (this can be changed on pick-up if needed).

The minimum rental days vary on seasonality – anywhere between 4 to 10 days depending on when you would like to travel.

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 April, May, September October, and November, temperatures are neither too high nor too low, so you will feel especially comfortable in your car. In particular, September to November is best 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.

Baby seat (From 6 months -4 years): Must be secured in a baby seat on passenger seat. Baby must be older than 6 months.

Booster seat (up to 140cm): Must be secured in a booster seat.

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.

Only credit cards are accepted for booking deposit ; balances can be paid by credit card or cash. Credit card payments are subject to a 3.6% credit card fee.

You have choices from three types of insurance. We strongly recommend that you purchase Protection Plus, which costs 3,000 yen per day, because you never know what might happen when driving on Japan’s narrow and unfamiliar roads.

Yes, you can definitely enjoy traveling in a campervan during the summer! Summer offers beautiful scenery and plenty of outdoor activities. Just be mindful of the heat, especially at lower elevations, and consider staying at higher altitude campgrounds for cooler temperatures.
Popular tourist destinations like Kyoto, Osaka, and Hiroshima can be very hot, so we do not recommend them during the summer. Instead, consider visiting the Tohoku region, Hokkaido, or the Japanese Alps, where you can enjoy cooler and more comfortable weather while experiencing the stunning natural scenery of Japan.
