Grab your bags, exit the arrivals hall at Okayama Airport (OKJ), and collect your rental car. Which one you motor off in depends on where you want to go. If you’ll be mainly driving in downtown Okayama, around 9 miles from the terminal, select something small and zippy. A compact car that’s easy to handle will be perfect for navigating those busy city streets. But with almost endless things to see, like the splendid bays of the region, you’ll probably be racking up a few miles. A larger vehicle, like a full-size car or an SUV, will make longer road trips a pleasure.
