Well that depends where you’re going. Downtown Aomori, about 7 miles from Aomori Airport (AOJ), can be tricky to drive in. Make life easy by booking something small, fuel-efficient, and simple to handle. Having said that, Aomori is a good base to explore many of the bays in Japan. If your getaway is more about cruising down highways, then you may prefer something with a bit more comfort and legroom. How about a full-size car or a standard SUV?
