New Year’s morning has that crisp, sharp feeling in the air, doesn’t it? It feels a little special. And when you’re going out to see the first sunrise of the year,
the combo of “waking up early” + “being cold” + “public transportation still being limited” means that having a car makes things so much easier.
That’s when we want you to remember Carnori Rent-a-Car Hyogo Nishinomiya, a familiar name here on Nishitsu. It’s right near Hanshin-Kokudo Station, and the longer you rent, the better the price gets.

The year-end and New Year period tends to get busy, so even if you’re not planning to rent right away, it’s a good idea to first add them on LINE so you can check availability whenever you need to.
Now, on to the main topic!
