A rent-a-car travel plan from Narita Airport
Let's go!!!
Five lakes and Mt. Fuji we're coming!
Driving in Japan presents different challenges than in the
west. For starters, it's right hand drive.
So some people worry about how if driving in Japan will be
possible. Well it's no worry at all, it's easy to get the hand of it!
Once you have the essential points in mind,
(just 3-minutes are enough to get used to it~),
it's all smooth sailing after that.
After all Japan has very well kept roads and courteous drivers
Turn on the navigation and buckle up!

Quite a reasonable trip eh? Imagine splitting with a couple close friends.
When this car came out into the market,
it's calm appearance and "TOUGH GEAR" TV advertisement
got quite a bit of people worked up!
Nissan's representative SUV X-TRAIL
is a different cut from the first generation of models.
With it's sleek stylish good looks, the appearance of this
new generation is brand new and oh so handsome. lol
We had heard that Chinese monks brought it over it to Japan a long time ago.
Around the time of generals of Warring States (Sengoku) era,
"Takeda Shingen" was used as the main food supply!!!
That's why this has become such a famous dish in in the Koshu area of Yamanashi!
Stewed soup with pumpkin and veggies,
together with the chewy noodles
This is hotto!
Recommended menu: pumpkin hoto 1,150 yen
Oh the joys of buying stuff for a camping trip!
But this time, our main purpose is to enjoy the beauty of nature
So we'll stick with the bare minimum to make it true suvival.
Water and… liquor! (yeah that's right!)
Charcoal and firewood for BBQ!
Vegetables and meat … and instant noodles for emergency!
No hesitation!!!
And mosquito coils!
Although Lake Shoji is the smallest one among the Five Lakes,
it has the most beautiful scenery!!
Front row seats to Mt. Fuji.
Just 800 yen per person to enjoy this fantastic scenery!!

It doesn't matter how short or how long the ttrip is
there is plenty of good times to be had and piece of
mind that nothing will go wrong with your Nissan rental.
Also, when you do decide to rent a car,
we highly recommend the X-TRAIL!!
