In the latter half of this trip, I rented a car with an amazing car navigation system. It was so great and useful that I could enjoy the trip without loosing my way at all. I didn't have to stop my car to read a map. All I had to do instead was setting my destination on the system by entering the name or the address of the city, the phone number of the hotel or just pointing out the goal on the map. Then the competent navigator automatically found the best route in a second and guided me with a voice navigation such as "In 500 meters, second left turn" or "right turn ahead." I though it was better than a human navigator because it never complains at me if I failed to turn. A quarrel between a driver and a navigator often occurs because of miscommunication, but this system never goes against the driver. If you can't read Japanese at all and you have to drive in Japan, it would be a good idea to rent a car with this navigation system because it has English language mode.
