If you want to rent a car for a short period of time, here is the low-down. There are a few car rental places around the Prefecture in the bigger cities and even in the smaller regional towns (check out the yellow Town Pages pgs.843-6 for West Toyama and pgs.867-70 for East Toyama). It is quite easy to rent a car. All you need to do is to take along your International Drivers License, normal license, hanko and alien registration card. For a big van or 4WD ringing ahead of time is advisable. For regular white-plate cars then you can go down on the day. Twenty-four hour rental is from around 6,000 for a 1300cc car and 12,000 for 7-man vehicles. Below is a simple table with some of the prices for cars available from Toyota Rentals and Mazda Rentals. The prices vary quite a bit and are also seasonal.<\/p>\n
