Why You Should Visit

JAF (Japan Automobile Federation) Osaka Branch opens its Hirano road service base to the public for the first time. See how a rescue call is handled from dispatch to the scene, watch crews demonstrate jump-starting a dead battery and unlocking a car with keys locked inside, and try operating parts of a tow truck. Spots are limited to 20 per session by lottery, and the event is aimed at people aged 13 to 40 curious about road service work or considering it as a career.
