My friend and I are traveling to Japan and wanted to rent a car to see some of the local sights, we thought the bus would work but with the weather delays and such it was a bit difficult and a lot longer commute. My best friend and I have very limited Japanese, we asked the hotel staff at our hotel if they would help us just to ask and see if one of the car companies around had cars available and they were very quick to say no. However, when we passed this hotel on our walk we decided to stop in and see if they might be able to point us in the right direction. And we were so grateful, the lady at the front desk today July 12th around noon helped us so much.
