Why is Hawaii Ideal for Driving Adventures?
Hawaii’s captivating landscapes and flexible routes are perfect for driving vacations. Here’s why:
- - Safe and Understandable Roads: Although Hawaii follows right-hand driving with left-hand steering—unlike Japan—simple road signs and light traffic outside urban areas create a safe environment for novice drivers.
- - Well-Maintained Road Conditions: The main roads are in excellent shape, allowing for a comfortable driving experience from urban to suburban areas.
- - Security: Tourist areas are safe and generally easy for Japanese visitors to navigate.
Freedom to Explore
With a rental car, travelers can explore a diverse range of attractions at their own pace:
- - From Waikiki, a mere 40-minute drive leads to the vast natural beauty of North Shore, famous for its surf spots.
- - Hana Highway on Maui stretches over 100 kilometers, featuring stunning waterfalls, tropical flora, and scenic coastlines.
- - Experience the vastness of nature on Big Island, where drives through Volcano National Park and Mauna Kea are among the highlights.
- - Kauai’s Waimea Canyon, dubbed the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific," is must-see and best accessed by car.
Cultural Adaptation for Drivers
- - Public Transport Limitations: Though tourist buses exist, their frequency can be limited, making rental cars a more flexible option.
- - High Rental Car Usage: Many tourists rely on rental cars, which supports the development of parking facilities and road improvements designed with tourists in mind.
- - Abundant Parking: Many shopping centers, beaches, and attractions are equipped with dedicated parking spaces.
A Welcoming Environment for Japanese Travelers
- - Japanese Language Support: Numerous hotels, tourist facilities, and airports offer services in Japanese.
- - No International Driver's Permit Needed: Japanese residents can easily use their local driver's licenses for rentals.
- - Reasonably Priced Fuel: While gas prices may be slightly higher than in mainland America, they are comparable to prices in Japan.
- - Navigation Options: Most rental cars come with GPS systems that are primarily in English, but a few companies also provide Japanese language options.
