TOKYO -- The record numbers of overseas visitors to Japan are bringing an unwanted problem -- rising rental car accidents.
On Sept. 22, Zhou Borun, 30, a self-employed businessman from Beijing, rented a Nissan Serena minivan at a Nippon Rent-A-Car outlet near Haneda Airport in Tokyo. He, his wife, daughter and both sets of parents had just arrived in Japan, fresh off a four-hour flight.
