Japan has railway systems that are world-renowned for their safety and punctuality, such as the bullet trains that connect cities across the country and sprawling subway systems, but to really experience Japan's regional areas and the true charm of Japan, traveling by car is the way to go! With famous tourist destinations like Okinawa and Hokkaido, Japan's regional areas are filled with the best the country has to offer, like onsen resorts, shrines and much more. Access to many of these destinations can be inconvenient, making renting a car a necessity. Renting a car allows you to make the most of your limited time in Japan and experience unforgettable Japanese scenery and culture. Jcation offers great deals on car rentals throughout Japan, tailed to your destination and travel needs.

Rent a car through Jcation
We have partnerships with major Japanese car rental companies such as Toyota Rent a Car, Nippon Rent-A-Car, Orix Rent a Car, Nissan Rent a Car and Sky Rent a Car, and the world-renowned Budget Rent a Car. This allows customers to compare plans in one place and easily book the best deals from trusted car rental companies.
Operating a car rental booking website since 2013, Jcation is able to offer low prices thanks to its previous sales records.
In addition, plans are available only as internet reservations to reduce operating costs, making them online exclusive and affordable.
Booking in advance with Jcation saves you both money and time, as booking on the day can be relatively expensive, and with a limited number of cars available, you may find no cars available to rent.
Since Jcation is operated by a Japanese travel company, a wide range of plans and inventory are available.
In order to ensure our customers rent with peace of mind, all car rental plans available on Jcation's website include the Collision Damage Waiver, covering you in the event of an accident.
Jcation serves customers from all over the world, operating in Japanese, English, traditional Chinese and Korean. The site can also display prices in 12 different currencies, including US dollar, Taiwan dollar and Korean Won, allowing customers to see the approximate prices in terms of the amount paid in Japanese yen, converted into the relevant currency.

Our travel service started in 2012 in Okinawa, by members of the Okinawa office who had no prior experience in the travel or tourism industry.
The following year, in 2013, we launched Okiraku, an Okinawa-focused travel website, and in 2018, we launched the national version, Tabiraku. Furthermore, in 2023, we underwent a rebranding with the name changed to Jcation in order to also cater to overseas visitors.
What started as a project based on a passion for Okinawa has developed into an endeavor to spread the charm of Japan domestically and globally and help increase the number of fans of Japan as a country.
Many people have at least once had an unexpected experience of not realizing the true charm of their hometown, only to realize its great qualities when they are away from it.
Traveling is a very precious time in one's life, as it can help one realize their own true identity, lead to new discoveries and growth, and deepen one's attachment to family and hometowns through the scenery, natural and cultural experiences and interactions with people that can only be encountered in the places visited.
We will continue to take on new challenges and seek to improve our services, always keeping in mind the values of "safe and secure" and "quality and trust", to make a trip provided by Jcation, a trip that may be a once-in-a-lifetime thing, a more special experience for our customers.
We take responsibility for a safe and secure service to ensure you enjoy your vacation.
For our car rental service, taking into consideration the unlikely occurrences of the customer, we have made it possible for all plans to include the Collision Damage Waiver in the price.

Jcation possesses its own listing criteria for the plans it offers. All companies, large or small, are carefully screened and selected to ensure customers can use our services with peace of mind.

We are continuously working to create plans that satisfy our customers in terms of cost-effectiveness. To minimize the time burden on customers, we are constantly making improvements to allow customers to book the plan they need in one simple process.
Three-way Satisfaction
(User - Partner - Jcation)
We aim for happiness and satisfaction for everyone involved.

We strive to add value and help solve issues in the tourism industry and contribute to the creation of local and sustainable tourism regions.
Our system is linked with car rental companies, meaning there are unique products and discount plans available. In some cases, Jcation has plans available when other sites have stopped selling them.
