Car Rental
It's easy to rent a car in Nagoya. Many car rental companies keep their doors open24 hours a day. However, renting a car in Nagoya is risky. The reason for this is that, unlike most countries of the world, the steering wheel of Japanese vehicles is located on the right side. For this reason we recommend using other options instead of renting a car.
