The Process Is Super Easy
Renting from Carnori Rent-a-Car is simple. Just add the Carnori Rent-a-Car Takarazuka shop on LINE. You can also do it by phone.
Enter the necessary information, such as your name, age, and phone number. The price changes depending on the vehicle class you want.
Head into the shop through the door marked “entrance”,
fill in the usual details like your name, address, phone number, and so on,
then just show your driver’s license and health insurance card. The whole process takes less than 30 minutes.
Before you leave, you’ll check the car for scratches together with the staff. It’s also reassuring to take your own photos, just in case.
They’ll carefully show you where the gas cap is and where the ETC card slot is, too.
You can rent one from 8,000 yen for one week (tax not included, Class A).

By the way, kei cars are really popular at the Takarazuka shop, and Class A and Class B vehicles apparently get booked up quickly. They say many people rent while waiting for their new car to be delivered.
There’s also something called damage waiver coverage. If you add it, your out-of-pocket costs can be reduced if something happens. Apparently 80 to 90% of customers add it, so it’s recommended.
The Staff Are Really Great
The Takarazuka shop has two staff members, and apparently they’re friends who started working at Carnori together.
Both of them are cheerful, and their customer service is really attentive. They explain everything about the car properly, so you can feel at ease.
There’s a Bakery Nearby That the Staff Highly Recommend
During the interview, we asked the staff, “Any recommendations around here?” and both of them answered immediately with this place:
Le Croissant!
Here it is on the map↓
It’s just a quick drive from Carnori’s Takarazuka shop. They also have parking.
Le Croissant is actually a chain with several locations in Osaka and Kobe, but the Takarazuka shop is apparently the staff’s favorite.
We Went Inside
The first thing we thought after walking in was:
The bread is huge!!
Everything is pretty big overall. And super affordable, too. There are lots of items in the 200-yen range. At this size, those prices are surprising.
Their signature item seems to be a croissant called Petit Cro, and apparently they’ve sold over 10,000 of them!
The baking times are posted, but by 3 p.m., almost everything was already sold out. That’s some serious popularity.
The Staff’s Top Pick: Freshly Baked Mentaiko France
And the one all the staff unanimously recommended was this↓
