Also bring along a credit card with room for the security hold. If extra requirements apply, your booking will list them.
Familiarise yourself with your rental. Set up your seat and mirrors, find the lights and blinkers, and get used to how it handles before you set off. And remember to stick to the left side of the road in Japan.
