Practical tips for driving in Japan
- Drive on the left. In Japan, people drive on the left side of the road, so pay attention when merging and at intersections.
- Speed limits are usually between 40 and 60 km/h. In urban areas, the limit is often lower than you are used to.
- Parking is often limited and expensive. Use parking garages and avoid illegal parking.
- Using mobile phones while driving is prohibited. Hands-free calling is permitted.
- Be alert for pedestrians and cyclists. They often have priority, especially at zebra crossings and in residential areas.
