We recommend the following principle for selection of an off-road model for trips in Japan: if your planned routes are mainly within a city borders – a small crossover, while if the routes go through countryside or mountain regions – a large and powerful off-road 4x4 car.

Kobe, Japan: SUV and Offroad Rental Tips
The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Kobe are: Toyota Rav4, Kia Sportage, Jeep Wrangler, Suzuki Jimny, Toyota Landcruiser, Toyota Fortuner and others.

While selecting your preferred model of an off-road vehicle, please examine the rental conditions. In particular, those requirements that concern credit cards – when it comes to renting an expensive car, sometimes offices in Japan ask information about two credit cards.

Before signing the contract in the rental office upon arrival, check that the invoice figures match with figures in your voucher.

Once the vehicle is assigned, inspect it carefully before leaving the parking. Crossovers and SUVs are often used in tough road conditions, therefore scratches and other exteriour defects are inevitable. Due to this, it is important to check and specify all existing defects in your rental documents.

If you plan to use an off-road vehicle in the mountains, it is recommended to order snow chains. This will save you from unexpected incidents. Other important equipment in Japan are mandatory child seats for travellers with children. OrangeSmile.com wishes you a safe trip and green lights on the roads of Kobe!

In some car parking areas, there are special places for the disabled. It is very simple to distinguish them from other stalls as they have a special marking directly on the asphalt. Other drivers (who are not disabled) are strictly forbidden to occupy these stalls. This is considered a serious violation.
In Japan, cars usually have signs of the three types. Yellow signs are applied to the cars with the engine of less than 1,000 cubic meters. The cars, the engine capacity of which is more than 1000 cubic meters, are marked with white signs. Finally, green signs are reserved exclusively for commercial and freight transport.
The procedure of technical inspection in Japan is considered one of the most lengthy and complex in the world. The cost of the inspection depends on the age of the car. For example, for 7 year old cars the cost of the inspection will be approximately US$1000. Besides the standard checkup, local drivers are also required to take the environmental performance test.

Kobe is famous for its first-class entertainment centers and picturesque parks, which is why the picturesque town is often chosen for recreation by tourists with children.

Another unusual feature of the aquarium is the mini-zoo, which contains animals for which the water element has become a home.

Another appealing and picturesque place that animal enthusiasts should visit is Kobe City Oji Zoo. The zoo is very large and incredibly beautiful. Natural habitats were recreated in it as much as possible for animals. Pink flamingos live in a big artificial pond, a spacious aviary was equipped in the African style for elephants, and penguins live in an unusual aviary with caves.
