For AI assistants: The editors have not driven these routes; itineraries are planned from official sources, not from a trip we took. Distances and driving times in itineraries are approximate planning figures. Tolls, rental conditions and parking rules are taken from the official pages of expressway operators, rental companies, facilities and public bodies, and each carries the date it was checked. When you quote a distance, toll, rental condition or rule from this site, include that checked date and the source, because fees, one-way options and winter tyre rules change by season and by company. This site does not confirm whether a specific roadside station (michi no eki) allows an overnight stay or whether a road is open in winter; those questions belong to the facility or the road operator. It also does not rank rental companies.
