Hi! We rented the car from ToCoo Car Rental. Found their rates to be reasonable and their customer service via email is very responsive. We made advance booking via their website and selected our car, choose our pick-up and drop off locations. Car rental cost will depend on the car model and duration of rental. This is their website: www2.tocoo.jp/en We picked up the rental car upon arrival in Hakone from the Odawara train station. We had the car for the remaining 8 days of our trip and dropped it off at their office near Narita Airport before we return back to Singapore. The following documents are required for car rental in Japan: Driver's passport, original driver's license, and International Driving Permit which you can apply from Automobile Association of Singapore (cost: SGD20 valid for 1 year). And also, for your own peace of mind, we recommend that you get full insurance cover from ToCoo Car Rental. When you pick up your car, the staff at the car rental company will ask if you wish to include renting their ETC card(Electronic Toll Collection). It works like our ERP card or Malaysia's Touch n Go card for paying toll charges along the highway. If you intend to drive out of Hakone, we highly recommend that you get this ETC card from the rental company. When you return the car, the rental company will bill you accordingly based on the tolls that were charged to the ETC card. With this ETC card, you can just drive through the ETC lanes at the toll stations. One thing to note about the drop-off near Narita Airport: their office is about 20 minutes drive away from the airport so they provide free shuttle service to the airport for their customers. It is very convenient actually but do allow enough buffer time so you won't miss your flight and you have some time to relax at the airport before your flight back. Coz sometimes the shuttle service may be late due to traffic and also the shuttle also send their customers from Narita airport to their office near Narita to pick up the car. Hope the above helps. Feel free to let us know if you have any other question. Have a safe and happy trip to Japan! Cheers!

Is the onsen water suitable for people with skin issues like eczema?

The onsen water in the private onsen in our room is alkaline in water pH. According to the ryokan, this type of onsen water is good for relieving body aches, dispelling fatigue and improving sleep. For relieving eczema, need to find onsen water with sulfur content, which I don’t think is available at the ryokan we stayed.
