KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Kanazawa

  • Car hire in Kanazawa is a good option if you want your own independence to explore this beautiful city. The roads are well maintained and with a little bit of getting used to will be an easy way to travel to all the famous tourist destinations. A day road trip from Kanazawa to nearby Takiyama is generally possible in under 2 hours. This will be much more scenic than a bus and you can stop and enjoy the scenery along the route.
  • An airport close to Kanazawa is Komatsu Airport (KMQ), which is only about 28 km from the city centre of the city, and Toyama Kitokito Airport (TOY), which is around 51 km from the town. Depending on where you fly in, you can choose from a selection of car hire companies based at the airport. Komatsu Airport has options to hire from Times Car Rental, Orix Rental, Nissan Car Rentals, J-net Rent-a-Car and more, all located at the airport car hire reception desk.
  • The inner city roads in Kanazawa are well maintained but are very busy too. You will drive on the left-hand side of the road and remember that pedestrians have right of way. The road signs in the city are both in English and Japanese. If you don’t speak Japanese and would like to hire a GPS with your Kanazawa hire car, ask them to pre-set the device to give instructions in English. Ask your hire agent to give you a brief rundown before you take to the roads.
  • With any new city, there are unknown areas and roads to navigate which might take a bit of getting used to. The city roads can be busy and it may be difficult to find parking. There are a lot of buses, bicycles and pedestrians on the road, so you need to be extremely cautious. Make sure you understand the road signs and have some sort of Japanese translation app with you, in case of any confusion. People drive on the left-hand side of the road here, so this will be familiar. Make sure you ask the hire agency staff if there are any specific tips about driving you should take note of.
