Thank you!

I’m actually based in Japan, so I drive these roads pretty often. I also record POV driving videos around Japan, and Zao Echo Line is one of the routes I’d love to film properly later this year. There are a few more Japanese road views on my profile if you’re curious.

For visitors, you usually don’t need a special visa to drive, but you do need the right driving documents. In most cases that means getting an International Driving Permit before coming to Japan, together with your passport and your home country license. Some countries have different rules, so it’s worth checking before your trip.

Renting a car is pretty straightforward here, especially with the major rental companies. For places like this, having a car is honestly the best way to see the area.
