How do you get driving license in Japan?

Driving in Japan...

I would say it is another survival way in Japan, it is awesome that you can drive in Japan like on your own.

It is highly recommended for you guys who want to stay in Japan and have your own driving license here, neither car license nor motorcycle license. There are two ways to get your license, first, if you have your driving license in your country, you can just transfer or translate it into Japanese license. In this case, there are two condition, if your country license are internationally recognized you do not have to take test, you just need to translate it in Japanese license, but if your country are not recognized you should take another driving test here and then after you passed, you can get the license. There should be bold that the test it self is not easy, I am really telling you, at least you can pass after 2 or more test depend on your "ability" (take it seriously). Second, if you do not have your license in your country, you should have test in police driving station or something. There are two tests, first is written test and after you passed, you have got another second test, driving test (the hardest part of test in your entire life LOL :D, I said so because I made it after 8 times test with in almost 6 months, the test it self was taken once in two weeks). Anyway, after you passed those two tests you are not going to get your license hahahhahahahha. Another test should be done to make sure are you really can be trusted to drive in Japan. You should take another class and another driving test in driving school. The class that I took was emergency class, wow it was so interesting for me, I was thought how to help people on accident in this country. I recommend you to take license in Japan, not for your happy riding but for your experience how hard you will get it and how happy when you get it. After you did those classes, then you can get your driving license in Japan. Congratulation guys for you who did it, and if you have not passed the tests, good luck! we've been there guys hahahhahaha :D

Well, I have been living in Okinawa, Japan for three years and I just got my driving license last year on August. Now, I can go anywhere easily but it is strongly prohibited to drive under alcohol or drugs influences, not only endanger your self but also other people, so respect your license and other people.

I hope it can help you.
Good luck guys....
