Located on the northernmost tip of Japan's Hokkaidō Island, the Wakkanai Airport serves as a gateway to the fascinating city of Wakkanai. This compact airport offers easy access to car rentals making it a perfect option for travellers aiming to explore the beauty of Hokkaidō on their own terms.
Upon arrival, you won't be stuck for options with car rental stations conveniently located within the airport complex. Feel Free Rent-A-Car and Wakkanai Rent-A-Car are the most popular providers, offering a range of vehicles to suit all needs - from compact hatchbacks to spacious SUVs.
Driving in Japan might feel a little different from the UK. The cars are right-hand drive and they drive on the left side of the road, just like back home! However, road signs are predominantly in Japanese, although key signs have English translation.
Wakkanai Airport is located nearly 10 km from the city center. The most direct route is via the 106 which is a seamless 20-minute drive. A taxi service is available, but having your own rental car gives you the freedom to explore more of what the region has to offer at your own pace.
Wakkanai experiences a cold temperate climate, quite a contrast from the generally mild climate of the UK. Winters are long and very cold with heavy snowfall, while summers are short and quite comfortable. Be sure to pack accordingly!
The currency used here is the Japanese Yen (JPY). Credit and debit cards are widely accepted, and ATMs are easy to locate within the airport and the city. Though it's always a good idea to keep some cash handy for smaller establishments.
The northernmost island of Japan, Hokkaidō, is a dream come true for nature lovers and adventurers. From visiting the nearby Rishiri Island, taking a hot spring bath in the Asahidake Onsen, to exploring the Soya Hills, there's something for everyone. And all are easily accessible by car!
Enjoy your very own adventure in Wakkanai with the freedom of your rental car. Safe travels!
