If you're 18 and above, you can rent a car in Oikata. Take note that rental providers will charge an additional fee if you're a young driver, which is meant to cover the higher accident or damage risk involved.

Thoroughly read the terms and conditions before you book to avoid any problems when it's time to collect the keys.

The main requirements are your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of alternative coverage if you choose to opt out. Be sure to check your policy requirements to avoid any hassles.
What side of the road do you drive on in Oikata?
If you're renting a car in Oikata or planning a big road trip in Japan, remember that you'll be driving on the left side of the road. Also, the steering wheel and some controls will be on a different side to what you're used to in the U.S. This may take a while to get the hang of, so take things slow to begin with.
