Pickup was a bit slow. I called ahead as I was arriving but needed to wait an extra 20 minutes for the shuttle to the rental office. Overall shuttle wait, drive to rental office, paperwork and pickup took 1~1.5 hours.

The wait time was longer than expected as the shop is not at the terminal and the shuttle bus is slow (need to wait for a few parties to go in one go)

The only issue is you have to find their shuttle van service to the pick up location. Regarding the rides I do not like the electronic rear mirror. Totally not use to it, sometimes the screen brightness gets dim and it’s very unsafe.

Good service. They didn’t have the car type we booked so they upgraded a bigger car for us.

I have to wait for a long time to get a car because there is one staff at counter service. The car exceeded my expectations, a lot of space for luggage and save oil.

I rented a car with my Australian driver's license, and it took an hour of repeated checks to confirm my eligibility. If you have a so-called international driver's license translated from Taobao, don't bother; you won't be able to rent a car.

HOWEVER, there was a huge problem. We booked a Mitsbushi Pajaero as we required a FULL SIZED 4WD with high clearance and 4WD. We received a Mazda CX8 which was large enough but not 4WD meaning that we could NOT go where we wanted and got stuck in the snow several times and us not having a full high high clearance 4WD ruined our trip. The car we were given was not equivalent.

Pick up was inflexible. My baggage was lost and I requested them to wait but they were not able to. In the end I came out 1 hour late as I needed time to settle the admin and they left. I had to go to the city to pick it up costing us a lot of inconvenience and money

- Customer service was very proactive in reaching out once the booking is confirmed. Along the way till the collection, there was regular touch point to finalise my booking to add snow tyres, etc rental etc - Pick up at Airport which is very helpful. They were in contact to help me locate them - No counter at the airport, handover was carried out at the carpark - Handover was in Tokyo at my hotel which is very convenient - Rather surprised and disappointed with the condition of the car. Rather old, lots of scratches and just look unappealing - Performance of the car was average. The car lacks power and it is especially challenging in Japan's hilly condition

Samurai Car Rental indeed live to the expectation. Great service,and hassle free. Their return process doesn't require you to return in full tank,which really a big advantage. New car as well,so you can be assured of the car condition is tip top.

The kind people at Samurai looked after us very well - of course it is only car hire but they were very efficient and our choice of car was just right - would definitely use them again.

Car service staff were very attentive. Even going so far as to provide snacks for the kids while waiting. Car was small due to my preference but everything else was on point. Although was hoping that I could have gotten the electronic card for toll ways but not too much of an issue for this.

Quick shuttle pickup from the airport but a bit of a struggle to communicate in English when requesting the shuttle. An older microvan car, mechanically in good condition. Drove 1600 Kms without any issues. Small cars are preferable in Japan if you want to drive on narrow local roads.

Like: The mountains with dense forests, the expressways that got us places in a reasonable time. The considerate drivers, no one toots or says angry things - they are too polite for that. ( Although I did get one toot in 14 days, a fair cop. I had to desperately cross three lanes to get to an exit before the lights changed. A big white car came out of nowhere tooted at me, we merged but didn't touch for a few seconds, I slowed down and he took off ahead. Phew!) The Japanese people are friendly everywhere in the country. The island of Hokkaido; it's less populated and it was great to see rice paddies, open fields and green hills. I loved going up into the mountains with our car and going through tree tunnels and seeing waterfalls. The 7/11 and Lawson stores; they had very good made up Japanese and Western meals and yummy sandwiches plus all the usual mini mart products. They have good carparks right outside the store. Having the car meant we could get to out of the way places, there was always hotel or guest house nearby. Mt Fuji, so good we had to stay there twice. The lakes nearby are lovely. Our car was a cross between a shopping trolley and a hairdryer but it was a nifty little car. Lots of interesting things to see - Rabbit Island, shrines on the top of mountains, gorges with rapids and waterfalls, Tokyo from the Tokyo Tower and lots, lots more.
Dislike: I read on Google that we couldn't get an ETC card but now I read that foreign visitors can get a 14 day Expressway Pass for 34000 yen. I am confused. Our car didn't have a device to signal the toll gates but could we have got one. An ETC card would have saved a lot of toll fees. On most of southern Honshu nearly every bit of the flat land has houses, factories and commercial buildings. Finally got to some open space north of Tokyo and saw rice paddies. Very few animals? No goats, sheep, chooks, ducks, pigs or birds. There were crows and a few ibis. Most animal farming seems to be done in huge sheds,
