Frequently asked questions

What are the major attractions in Uwajima?
If your trip to Uwajima is all booked but your travel itinerary is a bit on the empty side, let us give you a helping hand.Near the city center, Uwajima Castle is one spot to consider putting on your to-do list. Mishima Shrine and Uwajima City Date Museum are also a stone's throw away and worth a detour.
What are the best road trip destinations near Uwajima?
With some great road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it'd be much more difficult to soak up all that Ozu, 25 miles away, has to offer. Ozu Castle, Garyu Sanso and Kamihaga Residence and Wax Museum alone make the drive out worthwhile. Locals will also likely point you in the direction of Kita-gun, 30 miles away. If you can only see one thing here, make sure it's Kamihaga Residence and Wax Museum. (But we'd also highly recommend Yokaichi Old Town and Museum of Commerce & Domestic Life.)
What kind of rental car should I get for Uwajima?
Sure, you can get around Uwajima without a rental car. But with loads to see here, having one would certainly make your trip more convenient and fun. If you're eager to head out of the city and into some nature, book a rental car with a bit of power. A full-size or mid-size SUV will get you to the area's bays in roomy comfort. Prefer to spend a lot of your time right in the city? An economical, small car is a wise choice. Driving around busy streets and squeezing into tight parking spots will be a snap with one of these.
Should I get a luxury rental car in Uwajima?
You'll be glad to know that there's a broad range of both economy and high-end rentals in Uwajima. What you end up going for depends on your funds and what you're hoping to do. Prestige vehicles are hard to beat if you're all about mod cons and comfort. If you feel like splashing out, why not go for a fully kitted-out SUV, or perhaps a stylish mid-sized vehicle? Alternatively, if you just need something to get from A to B as cheaply as possible, stick with a no-frills compact vehicle (or something else that won't burn a hole in your pocket).
What side of the road do they drive on in Uwajima?
In Uwajima, you'll be driving on the left side of the road. This means the steering wheel is on the right-hand side. If you've rented a manual transmission car, get used to shifting gears with your left hand.
Is it difficult to park in Uwajima?
Grabbing a car space in Uwajima isn't always a breeze. That's why many visitors look for a hotel that comes with a parking lot. When leaving the car around the city, make sure you check the signage. Overstaying the maximum time limit could result in a substantial fine.
Does Uwajima have peak-hour traffic?
As with many cities, roads get busier in the morning and afternoon rush hours. However, thanks to its smaller population of around 59,000, traffic gridlock isn't much of an issue in Uwajima.
Are there speed limits in Uwajima?
While navigating through the streets of Uwajima, keep in mind that the speed limits range from 30km/h to 100km/h. Most residential zones are 40km/h unless posted otherwise.
What happens if I get a speeding fine while driving a rental car in Ehime Prefecture?
One of two things will happen. Your chosen car rental company may charge the amount stated on the fine to your credit card. This is the more common practice. Or it may give your contact details to the relevant local authority so the fine is issued directly to you.
Is it illegal to use a cell phone while driving in Uwajima?
As in many places, regular cell phone usage is not allowed while operating a vehicle in Uwajima. However, an exception applies for hands-free or Bluetooth functions. Just ensure you stay focused on the road.
What are the rules around drink driving in Uwajima?
The legal BAC (blood alcohol content) limit while operating a vehicle in Uwajima is 0.03%. If you're planning a big night on the town, leave the car behind and organize another way of getting home instead.
Is turning on a red light allowed in Uwajima?
It's prohibited to turn on a red light in Uwajima. If you encounter one, enjoy a mindful moment or two until the light changes to green.
Are seat belts compulsory in Ehime Prefecture?
They sure are. However, there are exceptions for vehicles run by public transportation networks.
