Don’t ever apologise for driving safely. Distraction causes many car crashes. Another great vlog.Thanks
Could you give a cost breakdown? Car rental, highway tolls, gas prices.
I would also like to know. I like paolo's videos but dude never answers questions.
Gas is well priced, highway tolls are really really high in Japan, its crazy
Toll and gas are not cheap... Last time I drove for 5 days from Tokyo to Nagoya and back (I actually went to Izu, crossed Ise wan). The toll rack up to close to 500USD, as I gun for private highway mostly and just don't care about price vs time.
meestaShin It’s just money. You can always make more of it.
In case this is still of interest one year later: Gas as per today is 135-142 Yen per liter regular. Toll fee depends highly on the area. Bridges are usually more expensive (e.g. from Kobe zu Shikoku), Ishikawa and tohoku was rather cheap. Car rental in Japan is not that special as anywhere else, so just make a sample quotation at rentalcars com
0:54 She is adorable.
trains are good for those who dont have driver's license even here in calgary it will make you think twice of getting a car if your single due to the cost of car insurance.
8:25 4880 yen is for toll fees.. assuming the rental fee is 7000 up plus gas (you have to fill before returning) maybe 3000 yen, the total may be about 15000 yen.
By train from Shinjuku to Hakone is about 4600 yen round trip. if you are going with a group of more than 4 people, it is worth.
For car rental, jazz type compact car, 7000 yen for 12 hours.
nissan-rentacar.com/english/vehicles-rates/
Basically, the toll fees between A to B is about the same as the quickest train route fare between A to B.
As far as I remember there are no toll fees at Izu. So you can go by train to Atami or Namazu and pickup car there. Did that, loved it.
Paolo , As a Japanese American. I just love all of your videos, we learn so much from all your videos about Japan!
just found your channel recently and great work, my man. You're on point with your words, always upbeat and positive. You let people into your world and it feels like we're there. You're Japan's hype man! I appreciate your videos, my dude. Im flying out in a couple months and have been going through your videos religiously on youtube to get the best advantage that I can.
Appreciate the channel and your hard work!

never will I ever rent a car in Tokyo or anywhere close. If you haven't spent few years in Japan you have a very good chance to get lost, get stuck in traffic, waste a lot of time, miss stuff, and instead of relaxing and enjoying trains and views - driving. Shikoku, Kyushu, maybe Hokkaido, Okinawa for sure, where trains are not covering most of the area and you need a lot of buses, that would be reasonable.
nah it is not that bad. Nowadays most cars have GPS navigation and if not you likely have google maps or similar on your phone. So getting lost is not a thing anymore. I agree with you that Tokyo is better by public transport (unless you are a small group of people that have difficulties to walk etc.).
I have driven in Japan. When I was 16 with a permit
I lost my focus to the rental office lady, hahahaha, sorry...
you got the fried pork... shocker :)
Hi Bro, I am going to do roadtrip from Tokyo-Fujikawaguchiko-Hakuba in early February. Do you think it's safe for me (or doable) to drive this route? I once drove in winter at Hokkaido few years back.
Hey, How much was the car rental?
How much did you spend? And did it fall cheaper than taking public transport?
I mean no offense, but this is EXACTLY why nobody trusts the wa (the kanji you see on the rental car license plates) plate drivers.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
When in Tokyo, do Tokyo drift.
😂😂😂
Please try again later...
$27 for a proper rental, not a rideshare. That's what Canadians pay for a lower quality rideshare. A rental in Canada more money less freedom.💩
He sniffels in front of Toyota camera with no mask on. I love Toyota.
I guess I have to start a Mechanic shop in Japan to service awesome Japanese people. Just need a letter from Japan...
You sure you always want to drive because the train on some occasions is kinda better then driving on the train you can do whatever you need and pick where you wanna sit and don’t trick people into thinking trains are useless because then they might stop using it resulting in train drivers running out of money and payments
Hey mate the fact that u couldn’t look at the camera whilst driving is a good thing, your eyes should always be on the road. You get points for driving safely but then you lose points for apologising when doing the right thing
i like ur monster university ost
Take local trains, are way better than driving and are less stressfull
Japan has the best public transportation in the world
i just saw this video after being in japan 3 months ago.... damn for a japanese without a jr pass car is the only way ... is far cheaper than taking a train!! cool to see and know !
I really enjoyed this video. Excellent job! The water, restaurant, cherry blossom trees and even driving into Tokyo at night was a really nice experience. 🌸🌸
I will never rent a car in Japan, use only public transportation
In Tokyo no one has got a car, I will never use a car in Japan
As many times as I have driven in Japan, at least once or twice while I am there, I will accidentally hit the wiper instead of the turn signal! It's good to see I am not alone at this!
Very grateful that you shot this video even though you weren't feeling well.
This is the worst video that you ever done in Japan
Don’t you have Japan Rail Pass
324yen a day? That’s like free!
What's the music in the beginning of the video? thanks!
7:28 unleash the beast
What car did you own in the United States?
Use only buses and trains in Japan
Great video :)! I wonder, how much did you have to pay for the toll roads in the end?
Hi mate Do you recommend a tourist rent a car or just use public transport to go around japan?Which one would u personally choose if it was ur first trip to Japan with no language skill?
If you're comfortable with your driving skills and have specific places you want to go, I definitely recommend it. Just as long as you have an international drivers license you can rent a car. If you're not confident, then train would be fine as you can get to most of the standard tourist destinations.
This trip is better by train
Hi Paolo, im visiting japan on 29 OCT-4NOV. Planning to drive from tokyo to osaka. Which routes would you recommend? Probably try the highway and off the highway for scenic.
Tokyo-mt fuji-osaka
Where did you hire you car and how much was it? Sorry if you mentioned it in the video
Hey Master Chef, Yeah it's Toyota rent-a-car in Shibuya. There are lots of rental places in Japan at most stations so it shouldn't be that hard to rent a car. Thanks for watching!
really enjoy that restaurant keep up the good work the waves bro the waves 😁
Rent a car for only ¥300+ awesome!
Hi Paolo. Why did you choosed Toyota car rent, why not others i.e. Noppon, Orix, Avis ? etc.
まいこさんだーーーーー！！！omg I'm your wife's fan I didn't know you two are married!
I like your new videos and video style. This was a bit too much borrowed from Casey Neistat. I love your day in the life of series!
Hey Paolo, Paulo here. Random question what's weather like during the month of March in Japan? Gonna be in Japan on March 12-26 with wifey and 7th month old baby.
Anybody notice this is same song from the Pixar "Monster's University" movie. Yeah I got a 6 year old. Love your videos Paolo!
Hello Hajimemashite! I came across your channel while watching random clips and yeah I like your creativity- thumbs up! I am interested to visit the "private" onsen you showed overlooking the beach and if you can share the location, i would greatly appreciate. Greetings from Kawasaki City.
Hey odyssei2015, Thanks for the kind words. Here's the link to the hotel Isaribi. goo.gl/hbYUXy
Talk to you again soon.
Ooooo, orangina!!!!
How much to rent
I know its been awhile and hopefully your still monitoring comments on this video but the video really helped me and my son decide that we wanted to try renting a car. I am concerned about driving on the left side. We are going to drive in Sado Island. Do you think its safe or easier to drive there?
what is your ethnicity curiously and were you born in the USA?
I did travel Japan by car. I'm a bit torn if it was a good deal. The gas cost was about right but the tolls cost were considerable. One intangible is parking which was $20 for 4 days in Kyoto (we stayed at a house near a small shrine) but the big cost was downtown Hiroshima to the point parking cost just as much as the hostel itself. Another cost was taking extra toll roads to get to a particular hotel. (travel sites are not strong on hotels off road). An thing to consider is just how much driving adds to fatigue and the which you touched on a little bit.
Douglas Holste Excuse me but could you tell me how much did renting a car per day cost you?
I apologize, I don't know how much that would be. I was visiting a friend who had her own car and we took that.
Ah! ok it's fine, thanks for replying :)
No problem. Good luck on your upcoming trip.
Rawa Lee It varies depending on the class of the car, peak or off peak seasons and additional items such as ‘child seat snow tyres’ needed by law. For 3 days rental Honda Fit 1300cc category at off peak season cost 23,000 Yen.
My surprise is that cost of that monster it's like 4 dollars in the United states
Watched on January 2021.
Srilankan in witch visa can get driving licence and srilankan can get driving licence in tourist visa how pls tell me bro
What's the company name? International driver license required? Rate+Insurance/Day? Toll-road?..cash/credit cards or coins? Pick up and drop-off location same/difference location???? so many critical information are left out! not a good review at all.
Kevin Le except this is not a review at all - in no place does the word “review” appear - its a little vignette to tell of the benefits of trying something different to the train
Why did you not have a mask on when you were renting the car?
Does anyone know why there are two prices on items in the shop? Like the Monster he was buying- big price 191 yen and below is 206 yen? Is it tax? How does it work for the foreigners? Thank you
Sandra Golubovskyte usually if there are two prices shown the higher one is with tax added. Makes it easier to total up before hitting the register. 👍
Hi Paolo. Thanks for the video about the benefits of having a car. Could you tell more about the actual process/ details about the rental process?
Parking Stations is like you have enter in a mall, that's amazing😮😮😮
Thanks for this video!
Hi Paolo, I love your videos. They are so informative and organized! I was thinking about renting a car in Tokyo for the experience. When would be the best times to drive the car? I understand that driving in Tokyo can be quite a nightmare. I see that you were from CA. How would you compare the Tokyo traffic to the traffic in LA? Thank you in advance :)
Tokyo streets are more tight and stressful.
Wow. So so so wonderful. Thank you!
May i know the songs list? Its pretty nice and i subscribed👍
A car story where the driver is afraid of driving.
I probably would never drive in Japan since you have to drive on the left side 😳 I can't get to use to it
Me neither. Can't wait to go though :)
Thanks for the video
Acts like it’s some long-ass road trip, I look it up on maps and it’s barely over two hours.
EdgeRunner i think it’s pretty unfair to judge by hours. You should use kilometer. I look it up and it’s about 122km from Tokyo to Izu. That’s not somewhere really far but not close either. For the same km in my country it’ll take 3.5 hours by taking the normal road and about 1.5 hours if I take the highway. Cutting down the travel time doesn’t change the fact how many kilometers we need to drive
Nice video! Thanks!
I DARE you to to go to akina
A very nice video, great visuals.
How to rent a car in Japan if one doesn't speak Japanese? Is it even possible?
Mark Johnson I rented a car in Japan 2 years back and it was quite easy, the website registration to book the car is all in English and when you arrive at the rental they will have an English speaking representative to help you through the process, terms n conditions are printed in English for you to read and agree to before u sign off
5:41 Son, put those keys back in your pocket, don't wave around with them over water.
how much the cost of rent car in Tokyo?
is this monsters inc theme music?
I and my friend are planing for a road trip in Japan. do you need to clean the interior and exterior of the car before returning?? reasons we ask is because we keep seeing this NOC thing on the rental sites. seems like about the return condition of the car? Thanks! Great video!!
In all of my personal rental experiences, I never had to clean the car before returning it.
Paolo fromTOKYO
Cheers! Good to know! The "English" in most of the rental sites are a little funny and hard to understand. Thanks for clarifying :)
life i cool in japan
I wish one day I have a chance to visit Japan. Alway enjoy watching your videos!
Hey Amy, Japan is an awesome place to visit. So many cool things to see and do. If you can, I definitely think you should come and experience it firsthand. Thanks for watching this video too! Talk to you again soon.
Thank you so much Paolo for replying my comment. Looking forward to see your next video!
De guzman? Im guessing filipino? Good job on your channel
Thanks for watching my videos krayzie_E soBreezy! Here's a link to more information about me www.tokyozebra.com/about Also, check out my earlier videos on my channel to watch my travels in the Philippines.
Ah your Fil-Am
So it was just a one day trip?
Do you need a japanese license or can any license from any country work?
International license is fine.
Must be Swiss 1949 international license
Cute
LOVELY JAPAN
Thanks : )
can I rent a skyline?
There is a company called Omoren and you can rent skylines, silvias, supras etc but prepare to pay a premium for them, especially R34 GTRs. Some branches also have Audi R8s and Lamborghini Gallardos if you're really keen.
Cool video bro. Keep it up, man!
Hey divineproprtion, good to see you again! Thanks for watching. I appreciate the support.
¥ 2700 gas
¥ 4880 car
Right?
Looks like. I'd be most thankful for the translation of that rental agreement at 8:25.
nah, highway toll.. to rent is more than 5.000
nice video... btw what kind of camera do you used ? thx
Hey Abbie Susanto, Thanks for watching. I mainly use a Canon 80d ( amzn.to/2jPQbWU ) with the kit lens or wide angle lens (amzn.to/2iV06eR). In some of the shots though, I used my GoPro Hero 5 or DJI Mavic Pro Drone ( amzn.to/2mM6LrH ). For a complete list, feel free to check the video description. I hope that helps and hope to talk to you again.
Thank you..
Btw can u show us how u create the footages when u make a clip. Many thanks:)
Hey Abbie Susanto, happy to help, but what do you mean how to create the footage? Can you explain in more detail?
what i mean is how you can make this vlog. like the position of the gopro even you already go inside the car but the gopro still recording outside the car. or you coming back to grab the gopro :) thanks
Hey Abbie, Yes - that is exactly what I do! haha. having a gorilla tripod helps to get the right angles. See my gear list in the comment section for the exact make/model.
What is etc card?
its to pay for the tolls
Yeah I would not drive in Japan, let alone Tokyo. I am from germany and we drive on the right side of the road. Once I visited Scotland and on the day we arrived there was a durby in Edinburgh, it was night time and it was raining like hell. Right at the airport there was a three-laned round about. That was pretty difficult for a start :D
俺もお前が好きだ！
Thanks dude!
Nice work!
Thanks Kyle! I appreciate the feedback. Talk to you again next time.
You and your girlfriend are soo cool together :)
Thanks Randia! I'll let Maiko know. Talk to you again soon.
7:21 How much? I caught the 51 at the end of it, but what was the rest?
it was 251 yen lol, sad that nobody answer your comment
Paolo, what is your skate board? I really want one!
Hi Luke, here's my review of my Leiftech board. th-cam.com/video/ZJFK_DYH6rI/w-d-xo.html - Check out the comments before you buy.
