Niigata Airport (KIJ) is one of the important airports on the Sea of Japan side, offering both domestic and international flights. It's located about 10km away from Niigata city and serves as an important hub for tourists and locals alike.
Several car rental companies operate at Niigata Airport, offering you the convenience of hopping into your chosen vehicle as soon as you land. You'll find counters for popular rental companies such as:
Just like UK, Japan drives on the left-hand side of the road! Clear road signs are in place and many are in English as well to assist you. However, be mindful that the speed limit in Japan is generally lower compared to the UK, stick to 60 km/h on general roads and 100 km/h on expressways unless otherwise stated.
Taking the Echigo Plains Route (Route 290) from the airport to Niigata city provides a mesmerising drive. You can also drive along the Agano River via Route 49 for some natural scenic beauty.
Fuel stations are dotted around the airport and Niigata city for easy refuelling. Few stations nearby include ENEOS Niigata Kameda and Idemitsu Niigata Higashi Store.
Being a coastal region, Niigata experiences a humid climate. It's known for its abundant snowfall in winter. So, if you're visiting during winter, do ensure your rented car is equipped with snow tyres.
While Niigata city is rich with attractions, do venture out to nearby cities such as Yuzawa, known for its hot springs and ski resorts, or the port city of Naoetsu. Your car rental is your ticket to explore these hidden gems!
The local currency is Japanese Yen (JPY). While credit cards are widely accepted, it's always handy to have some cash for small businesses or in areas less travelled. Using a credit card for your car rental payment usually includes basic insurance, it's recommended to check this with your rental company.
Enjoy your journey of exploring Niigata!
