Question 1

What are the major attractions in Fukushima?

Accepted Answer

If your trip to Fukushima is all sorted out but your travel itinerary is a bit on the empty side, let us give you a helping hand.

Not far from the heart of the city, Nakano Fudoson is one attraction you might like to consider putting on your to-do list. Jorakuen and Jurokunuma Park are also nearby and worth taking the time to see.

Question 2

What are the best road trip destinations near Fukushima?

Accepted Answer

If you're after day-trip inspiration, we've got some ideas. Located 18 miles away, Shiroishi is worth jumping in the car for. Soak up the sights beginning with Zao Fox Village, Shiroishi Castle and Sumaru House. The locals will also probably point you in the direction of Inawashiro, 18 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, let it be Mount Bandai. (But we'd also recommend Akimoto Lake and Urabandai Ski Area.)

Question 3

What kind of rental car should I get for Fukushima?

Accepted Answer

Having your own car in Fukushima will give you the freedom to go wherever you like. Maybe you'd like to skip town, explore country lanes, and go where the wind blows. If that's the case, grab the keys to one of our full-size or mid-size SUVs and discover the bays in the area. If you just want to soak up the bright city lights, opt for something small. Dashing around heavy traffic and busy streets will be much less stressful with a mini or compact car.

Question 4

Should I get a luxury rental car in Fukushima?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes it's all about the journey, which makes finding the right car important. If you're planning an unforgettable road trip around Fukushima, a comfortable SUV could be the perfect solution. If you're looking for a fantastic bargain and plan on staying mostly in the city, a budget compact is hard to beat. All you need to do is choose what's going to be the best fit, load up the car, and rack up those miles.

Question 5

What side of the road do they drive on in Fukushima?

Accepted Answer

The left side of the road is where you'll be clocking up the miles in Fukushima. Take note that the controls of your rental car here, like the steering wheel and stick shift (if your car has manual transmission), will be on the opposite side of what you're used to.

Question 6

Is it difficult to park in Fukushima?

As the population of Fukushima is only 294,200, you shouldn't have too much trouble with traffic congestion. However, city center streets usually get busy before and after work hours, so you may want to avoid driving then.
