Hire a car when you arrive in Kumamoto and start to explore the city and surrounds. Drive around 1h 30min to Mount Aso, Japan’s largest active volcano, for some hiking and sightseeing. Another good option, also about 1h 30min drive away, is the town of Kurokawa Onsen, one of the hot spring towns in Japan. This town is around 20 km north of Mount Aso and is easily reached with a Kumamoto car hire.
Aso Kumamoto Airport (KMJ) has several local car hire companies represented on site, such as Toyota Rent-a-Lease and Times Car Rental. In order to pick up your car hire in Kumamoto, you should go to the reception desk in the domestic terminal, on the first floor, just to the left of the arrivals exit. From there, you can call the car hire company of your choice. The company will send a free shuttle to the airport to collect you and take you to your hire vehicle.
If you have a Kumamoto car hire, it is worth familiarising yourself with some of the rules of the road before you set out. The signposts are all in Japanese, and while some are bilingual or have pictures on them, this can still be daunting. When driving on an expressway, note that the right-hand lane is only to be used for passing slower cars; you should move back to the left as soon as you have finished overtaking or you may risk a fine. It is also important to note that pedestrians always have right of way.
While there are some expressways in Kumamoto, there are also a lot of very narrow roads; these can have deep, narrow gutters along the roadside, which can be damaging to your car should you drive too close to them. These gutters are sometimes hidden under vegetation, so they can be difficult to see. In terms of rush hour, traffic tends to be heavier between 08:00 and 09:00 in the morning, while the evening rush can last around 2 hours between 18:00 and 20:00.
