Very nice indeed. How many days were you in Japan? Care to share your itinerary?
*
Trip duration was 10 days with the last day being wasted for our flight back.
We rented a car for the whole trip and my brother stays in Tokyo so the itinerary might look a bit hardcore but it was something like:

Day 01 - Arrive Narita early in the morning, straight to Nikko for the shrines etc
Day 02 - Went up to Okunikko and visited Chuzenjiko, Sainoko, Senjogahara etc
Day 03 - Went back down to Nikko and stopped by Kegon Falls before proceeding to Kirifuri, spent the night at Yunishigawa Onsen
Day 04 - Nasushiobara & Kinugawa Onsen then back to Tokyo for the night
Day 05 - Stopped by Otsuki to see Saruhashi on the way to Fuji Five Lakes, Oshino Hakkai, Fuji Sengen Jinja Shrine then Yamanakako for the Yuyake no Nagisa festival
Day 06 - Mt Fuji from Chureito Pagoda then headed off to Kofu to visit Shosenkyo, finished off the night at Kawaguchiko's maple corridor for the Momiji Matsuri Festival
Day 07 - Funatsu Tainai Lava tree molds before leaving Fuji Five Lakes back to Tokyo, Shibuya at night
Day 08 - Shibuya/Harajuku/Shinjuku
Day 09 - Asakusa & Akihabara
Day 10 - Sayonara

Your itinerary looks so much like a local who knows the best place in Japan from the back of your palm. Very different from the crowd. Thanks for sharIng as per someone's request!

No worries, always happy to share my travel plans.
Having a brother that has lived in Japan for the last 7 years definitely helps with the "off-the-beaten" track planning tongue.gif

hardly see anyone renting car for Tokyo trip, mostly for Hokkaido

mind to share the total damages for the car rental + fuel + the expensive highway tolls?

and how's the driving & parking in Tokyo metro? hmm.gif

I didn't rent it from Tokyo Metro.
Brother stays in Mizonokuchi so he rented it from the car rental he usually goes to.
IIRC, the base rental rate for a 7-seater was around 65,000 Yen for 4 full days.
Not sure about petrol and tolls, brother paid using his credit card hmm.gif

We had to drive into Tokyo Metro back to Mizonokuchi on our way back from Nikko and the roads were really damn confusing.
I wouldn't suggest driving around the main city areas for sure.
