Cheap Rental Cars Kyoto

Kyoto, Japan, is an experience like no other, with a 1,000-year-old history as the imperial capital. It stands in sharp contrast to high-tech Tokyo, with abundant cherry blossom trees, peaceful koi ponds, and zen gardens everywhere you go throughout the city. Kyoto has a large population, but it has one of the most peaceful atmospheres you'll ever find in a city. Exploring artisan markets and seeing shopkeepers among the tea shops takes you back to pre-modern Japan.

Driving in and Around Kyoto

After you land from a flight to Osaka, you take either an airport limousine bus or a direct express train to Kyoto, which is about 30 miles from the airport. You pass by the Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine on your way in with your Kyoto car rental. When you get a Kyoto car rental, you can branch out from the historic city into the surrounding countryside. Nantan has many small villages that look like they haven't changed for hundreds of years. It's a serene area, with the Ruri River Valley Natural Park letting you get in touch with Japan's flora and fauna.

Hot springs and hiking trails await you in Takatsuki. When you're done exploring the outdoors, visit the Imashirotsuka Ancient Museum to learn about the history and archaeology of the area. Takatsuki is a smaller town taking you away from more tourist-centric areas, so you get a better idea of authentic Japanese life. Rent a car in Kyoto to get to these gems.
