Can I drive in Japan on my licence?

Bring three things.Your home licence, an International Driving Permit issued under the 1949 Geneva Convention, and your passport. Licences from Taiwan, Switzerland, Germany, France, Belgium and Monaco use an official Japanese translation instead of an IDP.

  • Home licence, original
  • 1949 Geneva Convention IDP
  • Passport

Taiwan · Switzerland · Germany · France · Belgium · Monaco: licence + official Japanese translation

IDPs in the 1926 or 1968 format are not valid in Japan.

ProofLicence rules (FAQ)

Where do we sleep at night?

For a proper night, an RV park or an auto-campsite.Michi-no-eki and SA/PA are rest areas. If you're tired, sleep in the van: resting there until morning is fine unless a sign says otherwise, because a rested driver is a safe one. Just don't set out chairs, open the awning or cook outside. Dreamax Connect lists the two apart.
