If you’ve seen all the main sights in Sakuho, you won’t want to put away those comfy sightseeing shoes just yet. You’ll find some big-name attractions on your doorstep. Nagano Olympic Stadium is worth a visit. It’s located in Nagano, 40 miles away.

If you’re primarily here for business purposes, you’ll likely be going to Honmachi Machiyakan. It’s situated 16 miles away.

Here are our suggestions on how to get behind the wheel of a rental car with some savings in your pocket:

• Investigate as many different offers as you can (we make that job a piece of cake!)
• Keep checking your inbox for our Price Drop Alert. We’ll let you know about all the best deals cruising around your location
• Peruse the deals at all rental locations around town, including the airport and its vicinity. A quick cab journey to a close-by rental car center may mean substantial savings
• If your vacation dates are not etched in stone, see if you can get a better price by switching up the days of the week in your search
• Pickup and drop-off times typically need to be the same (e.g, both 9 a.m.) or you might be asked to pay for an entire extra day
• Some rental outlets reward you with discounts if you pay right away, so make sure you keep a lookout for these penny-pinching offers
• It’s best to secure your booking as soon as your dates are locked in. You’ll have the largest range to choose from the earlier you book.

Sure, it’s possible to head out and explore Sakuho without a car. But with so much to see and do, having one is sure to make your trip more memorable. If you’re eager to venture out into the great outdoors, consider a vehicle with some extra oomph. A full-size car or an SUV will do the job in style. A smaller car, like a mini or a compact, is a popular choice for those embarking on shorter trips.

You’ll be glad to know that there’s an impressive variety of both high-end and economy vehicles to rent in Sakuho. What you go for is largely dependent on how much you’re willing to spend and what you plan to do. Specialty vehicles offer the best in comfort and class. If you feel like splashing out, why not pick an SUV with all the bells and whistles, or perhaps a fancy mid-size sedan? Alternatively, if you just need a set of wheels to whiz around town in as economically as possible, maybe go for an economy vehicle (or something else that won’t burn a hole in your wallet).

When driving somewhere unfamiliar, you’ll want to have some knowledge of the rules and regulations. Here’s what you need to know to navigate your way around Sakuho safely:

Motorists drive on the left side of the road in Sakuho. If you plan to get a rental car here, take note that the steering wheel will be on the right. It may take a little bit to get used to!

It can be tricky to locate a car space in Sakuho. Once you get your hands on one, make sure you take note of the signage. Overstaying the permitted time limit or parking in a no-standing zone can put a big hole in your vacation budget.

There sure are. In the city of Sakuho, speed limits range from 30km/h to 100km/h. Most built-up areas have a maximum speed limit of 40km/h unless indicated otherwise.

One of two things will happen. Your chosen rental car company may charge the fined amount to your credit card. This is the most common approach. On the other hand, it may supply your contact details to local authorities so the fine is sent directly to you.

As long as you have Bluetooth or similar functions enabled, it’s fine to use your cell phone while driving in Sakuho. But be sure to stay focused on the road.

In Sakuho, it’s against the law to operate a vehicle with a BAC (blood alcohol content) higher than 0.03%. If you plan to have a couple of drinks with lunch or dinner, leave the rental car at your hotel.

No. In Sakuho, red equals stop, with no exceptions. When approaching traffic lights, always drive at a safe speed so you can easily stop when you need to.

Subject to a small number of exceptions, seat belts are compulsory in Minamisaku-gun.
