Rules may vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you choose a rental supplier.
What side of the road do you drive on in Shinjuku Golden Gai?
Unlike the U.S, people in Shinjuku Golden Gai drive on the left-hand side of the road. Having the driver's seat and some other controls on the opposite side can also take a bit of getting used to. Take a moment to familiarise yourself with the vehicle and its quirks before getting on the road.
