The number of rental cars on Yonaguni Island is very limited, so it is difficult to use a car without a reservation on the day of your visit.

We recommend that you make reservations as soon as you have decided on your travel dates.
Q. Can I drive a mini car or a car with a regular driver's license?
Yes, many car rental companies offer regular passenger cars, mainly kei cars. Since some of the roads on the island are narrow and hilly, light cars are popular because they are easy to maneuver.
