Hello Everyone!
I am planning on visiting Japan in the month of late September/early October and I have 2 small queries regarding the same. Would really appreciate your help!
Basically, I have planned of renting a car from Tokyo and drive to Izu, stay and enjoy there for 2 days and then early morning leave to Kawaguchiko and submit the car at Kawaguchiko.
Now, my queries are-
1. Which place will be the best to rent the car from?
I have planned to leave from Tokyo on weekday, considering the negative opinions I have heard about Tokyo's traffic. I plan to leave as early as possible.
Now, as much as would not like to go far from my stay in Tokyo(Edogawa Ku) for renting a car, I want to avoid the avoidable city traffic too.
So, which place do you think would be best suitable for my case? Will really help if you can share some insights!
2. Are there any generic suggestions/tips regarding my Tokyo-Izu-Izu-Kawaguchiko car ride?
Like which route to avoid/prefer? How can I minimize cost or any other generic trips which can help?
I plan to drop the car at Fujikawaguchiko station by noon and book a hotel there for the rest of day!
I know it will be a little costlier to drop car at a different point but I think it is worth it for my itinerary.
Also, I am considering Toyota rentals from now since it seems to be the most popular and cheapest option (?)
Looking forward to your suggestions.
Thanks in advance!
