{"id":19,"count":3,"description":"For visitors planning to spend several weeks or more in Japan, a different approach to car travel often makes more sense than booking a series of short-term rentals. Long stay guides in this section look at how longer, slower travel by car works in practice, from choosing between short-term and monthly rental arrangements to planning routes that don't require returning a car and picking up a new one every few days.\r\n\r\nA longer trip by car allows for a more relaxed pace, with time to explore regions in depth rather than moving quickly between highlights. It also suits travelers who are in Japan for reasons beyond a typical vacation, such as extended work assignments, remote work stays, or slow travel itineraries that combine multiple regions over several weeks.\r\n\r\nMonthly and long-term rental arrangements can simplify logistics for these kinds of trips, often working out more practical than repeatedly booking, returning, and re-renting a car through standard short-term rental channels. This section looks at the planning side of longer trips, including cost considerations, paperwork, and how to structure a route that makes the most of an extended stay in Japan.","link":"https:\/\/monthly-go.com\/en\/travel\/trip-type\/long-stay\/","name":"Long Stay","slug":"long-stay","taxonomy":"travel_type","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/monthly-go.com\/en\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/travel_type\/19","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/monthly-go.com\/en\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/travel_type"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/monthly-go.com\/en\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/travel_type"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/monthly-go.com\/en\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mg_travel?travel_type=19"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
