What Should I Know About Refueling a Rental Car in Japan?

Most rental agencies at GAJ require you to return the car with a full tank of gas. You must refuel at a station near the airport right before returning the vehicle and provide the receipt as proof. Most rental cars use 'Regular' gasoline. Japan has both full-service and self-service stations, so be prepared for either option.

Higashine Car Rental Guide

Essential driving tips for exploring Yamagata Prefecture's fruit country and mountain routes

Can I drive in Japan with my US driver's license alone, or do I need an International Driving Permit?

You need an International Driving Permit (IDP). Your US license alone is not valid for driving in Japan. Get an IDP from AAA before departure (about $20, valid for 1 year). The IDP must be accompanied by your original US license at all times. Without both documents, you face fines of up to ¥100,000 ($700) if stopped by police.

Is it safe to drive in Higashine during winter? Do I need snow tires?

Yes, but snow tires are mandatory on mountain roads from December through March. Higashine sits in a valley with occasional heavy snowfall. Most rental companies offer winter tires for ¥2,000-3,000/day. Chains are recommended for rural mountain routes to Zao or Gassan. Budget extra travel time—roads can be slippery and slower than GPS estimates.

How do I pay for toll roads in Japan? Is an ETC card worth it?

Cash or ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) card accepted at toll booths. An ETC card rental (¥330/day) pays off if you drive more than 100km on toll roads. Higashine to Sendai is about ¥2,400 in tolls one-way. Some booths are ETC-only, so an ETC card prevents being stranded. Ask your rental company to pre-install one.

I'm 23 years old. Will I be charged a young driver surcharge, and how much?

Likely yes. Most Japanese rental companies charge a young driver surcharge for drivers under 25, typically ¥1,100-2,200/day ($8-16). Age verification is strict—you'll need to present your IDP showing your birth date. Some specialty vehicles (sports cars, minivans) have higher age minimums of 25-26. Book early and compare policies across Toyota, Nissan, and Times rental agencies.

Japan drives on the left! As an American, what mistakes do locals see most?

Right-hand turns are the biggest hazard—look left first for oncoming traffic before proceeding. Americans often drift into the right lane on instinct. Also: stop completely before entering intersections (Japan has few stop signs but strict enforcement), and don't block crosswalks (pedestrians have absolute priority). Roundabouts exist but are rare. Expect tailgating on highways—maintain left lane for passing only.

What about gas stations? Are there attendants or is it self-service?

In Higashine and rural Yamagata, most gas stations are self-service. Full-service stations exist in cities but are pricier. Gas types are clearly labeled: レギュラー (regular) for most rentals, ハイオクタん (high octane) for premium. Current prices run ¥165-175/liter. Fill up before heading into mountain areas—stations are sparse in rural zones. Credit cards accepted at 99% of stations.
