How Do I Refuel My Rental Car in Japan?
Most rental cars from AKJ use 'regular' (レギュラー) gasoline, typically dispensed from a red nozzle. At the gas station, you can request a full tank by saying 'mantan' (満タン). Self-service stations are common, with instructions available in English. You can pay by credit card at the pump or with cash inside. Always return the car with a full tank to avoid extra charges.

How Can I Avoid Hidden Costs When Renting a Car in Asahikawa?
To avoid unexpected charges when renting from AKJ, carefully review your insurance policy, including the optional Collision Damage Waiver (CDW). Always confirm the fuel policy—most are 'full-to-full'—and inquire about fees for extras like ETC cards, GPS, or winter tires. Document any pre-existing vehicle damage before you leave the lot to prevent being held responsible later.

Asahikawa Car Rental Guide

Essential driving tips and FAQ for self-drive travel in Hokkaido's second largest city

Can I drive in Asahikawa with my US driver's license, or do I need an International Driving Permit?
You'll need an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside your US license—your US license alone isn't valid in Japan. Get an IDP from AAA before departure (about $20). Without it, rental companies will refuse to hand over the keys. Also note: Japan requires you to carry both documents at all times while driving.
I grew up driving on the right side in the US. How scary is switching to left-hand traffic in Asahikawa?
Left-hand driving is the biggest adjustment for US drivers. The good news: Hokkaido drivers are disciplined and follow rules strictly, making it less chaotic than expected. Use the "seat reference point" method—keep your left膝盖 aligned with the driver's door seam to stay centered. Spend 10 minutes in a quiet parking lot before hitting main roads. Most tourists adapt within 24-48 hours.
I'm visiting in February. Will my rental car have winter tires, or do I need to request them?
Winter tires are legally mandatory on snow-covered roads in Hokkaido from December through March—many rental agencies install them automatically. However, always confirm when booking and again at pickup. Expect to pay 1,500-3,000 JPY ($10-20) per day extra for winter tires. Chains are sometimes required on mountain passes. Don't skip this: regular all-season tires are illegal and dangerous on icy roads.
How do I pay for toll roads? Do I need an ETC device, or can I use cash?
Most expressways accept both ETC and cash, but paying cash means stopping at toll booths, which causes delays. Rent an ETC card at the rental counter (usually 400-600 JPY/day, or sometimes free with certain companies). The Asahikawa-Monbetsu Expressway costs roughly 2,000-3,000 JPY to reach central Hokkaido. Without an ETC, you'll queue at toll gates during peak hours.
Asahikawa is famous for -25°C winters. What happens if I break down or get stuck in a snowstorm?
All rental companies provide 24-hour emergency roadside assistance—keep the company's contact number saved offline. In extreme cold, battery failure and flat tires are the most common issues. Stay with your car if stranded, run the engine 10 minutes every hour for heat, and clear snow from the exhaust pipe to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning. Rental agencies in Hokkaido are experienced with winter breakdowns.
