In Japan, a kind of roadside station is everywhere on the road. A roadside station sells local special food and vegetables.
So, it is good to take a rest while driving.
Other driving tips
Procuring food and drink
When you are hungry, the irritated traffic jams have doubled. If you buy food with
a mindset and hold a candy party in the car, it will be a fun time. In addition, let's buy a sleep-awake gum together.
Toilet early
We recommend taking a break every hour if possible and going to the bathroom each time. In particular, children often come to the last minute, so I want to take them as soon as possible. If you
have a small child, it is safe to have a portable toilet in case of emergency.
Easy refueling
Running out of gas on a highway is a poor maintenance and violates the Road Traffic Law (2 points, in the case of ordinary cars, a fine of 9000 yen). In addition to that, it will cause further
congestion, so be sure to refuel at the next SA / PA when the remaining amount is less than half. Traffic violation dot com
Let's buy in the supermarket or use restaurant chains
Convenience store food is usually high priced rather than super market.
So, if you visit Japan, let's go to the super market for Japan's special food in local areas.
Especially for local areas, you can sometimes find discount chain super market stores everywhere.
By making use of this, you could save money for travelling.
Learning security level beforehand
Be sure to check the destination and security
information. From a global perspective, Japan is safe and it is possible for women to walk alone at night, but there are also dangerous areas.
Stay away from low-light areas, low-traffic areas, and extremely dark places. Please be careful about the downtown area with many sex shops.
You can get some information by searching for "place name + security" on the net.
The areas introduced in the guidebook are relatively safe. Also, the area with many shopping spots is safe because there are many people passing by.
When choosing a hotel, be sure to make a choice when considering safety.
Knowing Japan's rule for eating
Japan's restaurant water is for free.
Oshibori (wet towel) is served free in Japan.
Tatami mat in a restaurant room, you can't get on with shoes on.
In Izakaya, you have to order drinks firstly before eating.
You can't bring outside food in a restaurant without food court.
No culture for tipping in Japan.
Before travel, establish traveling plan perfectly
Before visiting Japan, let's search place you want to visit through
internet or Japan's guide book.
The safe plan is like 1 day with 3-4 traveling spots in just 1
area.
Moving among far destinatons in just 1 day is not
recommended.
Japan's road congestion is sometimes happening. so you will get rid
of your traveling time.
I think it is best to pick up destinations you want visit and Japan's area.
Be careful of too cheap hotel
If you are traveling alone, you want to keep costs as low as
possible. However, be careful of hotels that are too cheap compared to the market price. Due to poor location, old facilities, thin walls, etc., you
may not be able to stay comfortably. Be sure to check the reviews on the site.
If you are traveling alone, we recommend chain business hotels. It is convenient for one person to stay alone, and since the services are substantial, it is
useful when traveling alone.
Japanese trait
Japanese do not like to be shy and keep their eyes on each
other
There are many types of bows, such as one that squeezes only
the head, one that bends a little, and one that lowers its head to about 90 degrees.
If you are in trouble in town, they will kindly help
you.
As many people cannot speak English, sometimes people refuse to take taxis or stay at
hotels.
English is not available to Japanese bus drivers, so it is not recommended as a means of
transportation
