Renewal from a foreign license to a Japanese license is not easy.
https://asahisoken.jp/swich-license/
There are two tests for license renewal
The first is a written exam.
It is a simple test about Japanese traffic rules. It is in English.
Answer with ⚪︎ for correct and ✖︎ for incorrect.
You must pass this written exam to take the driving test.
The second is a driving test
It is conducted at the driving school.
It is a very difficult test.
This is because Japanese traffic rules are very strict even by global standards.
Many people take the exam twice or three times.
It is very unlikely that you will pass the test knowing nothing about it.
At the Asahi Driving School, we use the actual course used for the test and give lessons on the points to pay attention to in the driving test.
- Check around the car before boarding
- Check behind before opening the door
- Appropriate speed in the driving school
etc…
Original Manual
