STEP 1:
Although these driving itineraries are pretty complete such that even first-time visitors to Japan could use most of them, we would recommend that you save them for a subsequent visit after you have a better handle on Japanese culture and getting around there. We would also hope that you will have done some in depth pre-planning so you already know when you will be traveling, what prefecture(s) you plan to visit in Japan, and what things you like to see and do. There are many websites that will help you decide when and where you want to visit. When you are ready with that information, then you will be ready to use this site to find a suitable driving itinerary.
To help you find a suitable itinerary for your road trip, we have created several "filters" to narrow the number of itineraries you can choose from.
A) You can change the year of travel to a future year; the default is the current year.
B) You can change the month of travel (in the calendar year indicated); the default is "Any Month."
C) You can select one or more of your particular interest(s) in the selected itinerary(ies). You can indicate them in the circles below.
D) Click on the "Next Step" button at the bottom of the screen to move to Step 2.
