Into the Great Wide Open: Ayagawa and Beyond

The beauty of Ayagawa is endearing but traveling beyond its borders is equally rewarding. Renting your own car gives you the flexibility to explore the surrounding cities at your own pace. Be it the romantic city of Ritsurin, known for its historical park, or the lively streets of Takamatsu, a zestful drive can take you to these places in no time.

On Road: Driving Norms and Rules

• Always keep your driving license handy while driving.
• In Japan, the legal driving age is 18; older than the UK's legal age, which is 17.
• Drink driving is strictly prohibited and is punishable by law.
• Avoid using your mobile phone while driving. If it's urgent, use hands-free.

Parking: Know Before You Go

In Japan, you need to prove you have a parking space before you can own a car. While in Ayagawa, parking is not a big issue, it’s always advisable to confirm parking facilities before you head to your destination.

Sights to See: From Cherry Blossoms to Temples

From the tranquil Shimanto River to the bustling Yosakoi dance festival, there is an abundance of sights in and around Ayagawa. Drive to the Chichibugahama Beach for a magical sunset or explore the historical Kotohira Shrine, there is something for everyone to indulge in.

Wrapping Up: Time, Currency, and Weather

Remember, Japan is 9 hours ahead of the UK. The currency used here is Yen (¥). Interestingly, Japan is more of a cash-based society than the UK, so it’s a good idea to keep some cash at hand.

Be prepared for the weather. The summers can be hot and humid, while winters see a fair amount of snowfall. It’s always wise to pack according to the season of your visit.
