Driving Precautions
Update date: November 1, 2024
In Japan, traffic moves on the left side, and most rental cars have right-hand drive. Please pay close attention to road signs.
In Japan, driving under the influence of alcohol is not just a traffic violation but a “crime.” If caught driving under the influence, it may adversely affect your visa application or renewal process. Even if you have consumed a small amount of alcohol, never drive a motorcycle or car. Additionally, it is prohibited to knowingly allow someone who will be driving to consume alcohol, encourage or persuade someone to drive under the influence, or ride in a vehicle operated by a driver under the influence of alcohol.
