Rental Cars in Yamagata
When asked what the single most difficult part of traveling here in the Japanese countryside is, our answer may surprise you. It is not the lack of English, nor the weather, or even the customs. It is transportation.
Public transportation options here in rural Japan require very precise and careful planning. Many bus lines only run a limited times per day and constantly change due to difficulties with a rapidly decreasing population.
Instead we are focused on helping international visitors utilize rental cars.
This is by far the best way to travel around the rural regions of Japan as they free you from strict scheduling and can help avoid logistical disasters if you miss your bus.
With wide open roads, no traffic, and very easy-going drivers, driving here in Yamagata is part of the enjoyment of visiting this region.
