観光客と外国人のための完全ガイド。あなたがJapanで運転する前に、道路のルール、制限速度、および重要な情報を学ぶ。
あなたはJapanで運転できますか？
ライセンス取得元
有効期間: Valid for up to 1 year from date of entry into Japan (not from IDP issue date)
重要なお知らせ
Japan ONLY accepts International Driving Permits issued under the 1949 Geneva Convention. IDPs from the 1968 Vienna Convention are NOT valid. Countries like Belgium, France, Germany, Switzerland, Monaco, and Taiwan have separate bilateral agreements — drivers from these countries need an official Japanese translation of their license instead of an IDP. The IDP must be in the standard booklet format.

Japan has extensive toll expressways operated by NEXCO. The ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) system offers discounts of up to 30% compared to cash payments. Rental cars usually come with ETC card readers. Late-night discounts (midnight to 4 AM) of 30% apply on most expressways.
駐車場
ラインカラー
駐車場のヒント
- Use coin parking lots (コインパーキング) — barriers lock your car in place and you pay at a machine when leaving
- Many convenience stores and shopping centers offer free parking for customers
- In major cities like Tokyo and Osaka, parking enforcement is very strict — illegally parked cars are ticketed within minutes
- Never double-park — strictly enforced
平均コスト: ¥200–600/hour in city centers; ¥1,500–3,000/day in urban parking garages; cheaper in rural areas
観光客が犯しがちな間違い
- 1Forgetting to drive on the LEFT side of the road — Japan drives on the left, which is disorienting for visitors from right-hand traffic countries
- 2Bringing an IDP based on the 1968 Vienna Convention — Japan only accepts IDPs issued under the 1949 Geneva Convention
- 3Ignoring strict parking laws — parking on the street without a designated space can result in fines and your car being towed
- 4Running yellow/red lights — Japanese drivers are very rule-abiding and enforcement is strict
- 5Not stopping completely at railroad crossings (mandatory in Japan)
