Kobe, Japan: Hatchback Rental
The most popular models representing the mini, compact, and economy car segments in Kobe are: Toyota Corolla, Toyota Auris, Opel Astra, Nissan Tiida, VW Golf, Ford Focus and others.

When hiring a budget hatchback, it is definitely worth saving on insurance deposit (franchise). Deposits on small cars in Japan vary from 100 to 1.000 euro/dollars. Check the rental conditions of each car in your selection to find a vehicle with a minimum deposit.

If your routes in Japan are foreseen to pass through hilly areas or mountains, it is not recommended to consider very small cars for rental. Their engines are usually insufficient for a confident driving on the roads with long or steep climbs.

At the rental office in Kobe, consider to take a 'Breakdown Assistance' package or ask an officer for a contact data to use in case of a vehicle breakdown. Cheap cars are sometimes unpredictable in operation.

Upon receipt of the rental invoice, please check that all the information, as well as the final payment amount do match the data in your voucher.

OrangeSmile.com wishes you a safe and great trip to Kobe!

Driving Advices for Japan – Traffic Regulations and Road Usage Peculiarities
Previous hints
Even sidewalks here have a specific markup. Most of them are divided into two lanes. One of them is dedicated to pedestrians and the other one - for cyclists. In order to eliminate all misunderstandings between the groups, each “lane” on the sidewalk has a corresponding graphic sign.
Pedestrians are prohibited to occupy the part of road for cyclists, as well as cyclists cannot ride on the lane for pedestrians. Sometimes collisions happen even on sidewalks, and there are also fines for them.
In major cities, you may often see a bright T-type yellow marking on the pavement close to pedestrian crossings. If you examine the sign closely, you can see that the asphalt in this area is uneven and consists of rows of small knobs. This marking is applied specifically for blind pedestrians as it guides them directly to the “zebra”. Walking on such yellow knob areas is literally impossible as the surface is very rough.

Sightseeing of Kobe, Japan
Residents of Kobe are always ready to help foreign guests; many of them speak foreign languages. Before asking local people on the street, it is important to take into account one more important feature of their character - shyness. Due to this, it is best to seek help from middle-aged people, since young and older people are especially embarrassed to talk to strangers.
In general, local people can be characterized as very positive, cheerful and active people. City streets are never empty in the evenings, there are always a lot of young people walking around here. Kobe regularly hosts interesting fairs and festivals whose mandatory attributes are gastronomic programs. Townspeople love their traditional cuisine and are ready to eat some particular dishes literally every day and in any setting. Fried squid skewers sold in virtually all grocery markets are a great example.

Local youth also have interesting features and traditions largely related to the variety of existing subcultures.
