Inspiring. And there I was being a sucker taking public transport to the ski resorts. Next snowboarding trip, I think I'll rent one and drive there myself...

No worries guys - I'm humbled that I can be an inspiration. Japan - while not perfect - is an amazing country and I highly encourage those of you who haven't been there to check it sometime. In an 86, preferably 8)
Yeah, 23,000 yen for 12 hours. For fuel, it was only another 3,000 yen or so - I was shocked! I think the car got ~10L/100km with three adults in it through a mix of stop-start traffic, highway cruising and blasting up mountain passes. Quote:
I can't deny that I was considering this too. However, I think renting the 86 for a day is measurably cheaper! :P |

Awesome post and pictures thanks! I'm definitely making a trip to Japan at some point and somehow never considered the fact that I might be able to rent an 86 there...

I'm in Narita, and saw so many badass cars, including the 86, I walked by the dealership and there was a burnt orange one in the back with a plate ........86
and too many too in the PI with the same plate "86" Good job guys, that is "Love". I'm speechless |
