Masato Goto is the CEO of Mobility Edition Inc., the Tokyo company behind Monthly GO, a licensed long-term car rental service. Running a rental fleet every day gives him a practical view of driving in Japan — rental contracts, ETC cards and tolls, parking, winter tyres and what really matters on a long trip. Outside work, he spends his free time on long-distance drives and travel across Japan and abroad, seeking out the onsen towns, mountain roads and rural corners that most itineraries skip. This guide shares that experience with travellers who want to see the deeper side of Japan by car.
