Top tips for renting a car in Hokkaido Prefecture

  • Driving in Hokkaido Prefecture is fun, but only if you keep it within the set traffic laws and regulations. Like other towns in Japan, the legal speed limits are 100km/h (62 mph) on expressways and 60km/h (37 mph) on normal roads. These speeds should always be observed, even if there is no traffic sign for speed regulation. When the road is marked “No Crossing,” do not cross, particularly where there is a solid line at the center.
  • Be careful when driving in off-road destinations in Hokkaido Prefecture; remember that some roads can be narrow and winding, and you are likely to encounter bridges or single-track roads that permit the passage of one vehicle at a time. Animals like deer and foxes are speed traps, jumping out of the road unexpectedly. To this end, drive slowly in rural Hokkaido Prefecture. Vehicles closest to the bridge and those going uphill have the right of way.
  • When driving in Hokkaido Prefecture, remember that every car occupant must wear seatbelts, whether sitting at the front or back. Children of the family should be in a child restraint system. If the kids are six or below, they must use an appropriate child safety seat, like a booster, directly proportional to body weight and height. These devices are available at various rental companies for a small fee.
  • Hokkaido Prefecture features several multi-level parking garages, making it easy and convenient to drop off your car before taking a stroll. Most tourist amenities and hotels provide free and safe parking between 6 pm and 6 am. Typically, most street parking in the town center is metered and charged hourly. For a hassle-free parking experience, motorists should consider using the parking app on their tablets or phones to locate the free lots within the town center.
