About Tokyo

The city is famous for its safety, cleanliness, and efficient public transport, making it easy to explore.

Driving in Tokyo
Major car rental companies in Tokyo include Toyota Rent a Car, Nippon Rent-A-Car, and Times Car Rental. Daily rental costs typically range from 6,000 to 10,000 JPY, with weekly rates offering discounts. Drivers must have an International Driving Permit along with their home country license and be at least 18 years old, though some companies require drivers to be 20 or older. Roads are well-maintained but driving in central Tokyo can be challenging due to heavy traffic and complex road layouts. Parking is limited and expensive in central areas, often requiring use of paid parking lots. From a tourist perspective, renting a car in Tokyo is generally unnecessary due to the city’s excellent public transportation system and high traffic congestion. It is recommended only if planning to explore rural areas outside Tokyo.
