The roads in Japan are also much narrower and tend to be more congested than in the U.S., so be prepared for traffic delays, especially in and around big cities. The roads are also quite dusty, so use extra caution during rainy weather as these can be slippery. Japanese drivers are calm and courteous, but you will need to watch out for cyclists on more rural roads. The main toll road is the Okinawa Expressway, and you can either get an ETC card to pay for tolls from your car rental company or use the manual lane, where you pay directly to the attendant.
