Compact vehicles are ideal for car hire in Matsumoto, as they are suited to navigating the narrow, one-way streets. A compact vehicle will also serve you well on narrow roads like the R158, which stretches between Matsumoto and Hirayu. If you’re travelling in a large group or with a lot of luggage, then you may wish to consider upgrading to a mid-sized vehicle like a Toyota Corolla. This will give you extra storage space and leg room without making it difficult to traverse the narrow streets.
