Our Mission

In recent years, many international residents in Japan are striving to get their driver's licenses. However, language barriers and unfamiliar traffic rules pose significant challenges.

While Japan has raised licensing standards to improve safety, there are few support materials for non-Japanese speakers.


We truly hope to help those struggling in this situation.

We launched this site to provide international residents with high-quality traffic education equivalent to that of Japanese citizens, helping you drive safely and confidently.

Trick Questions

Common mistakes explained.

Q. Flashing RED light means "Slow Down"?

Answer: NO (Stop Completely)
A flashing red light means cars must Stop Completely at the stop line, check for safety, and then proceed. Many mistake it for "Slow Down", so be careful!

Q. "Oikoshi" vs "Oinuki"

Is there a lane change?
"Oikoshi" is changing lanes to pass a car in front. "Oinuki" is passing a car while staying in your own lane.
Important: Oikoshi (lane change pass) is PROHIBITED within 30m of an intersection, but Oinuki (pass without lane change) is allowed.

Avoid "Immediate Failures"

Mistakes that end the driving test instantly.

⚠️ Failure to Stop

"Rolling stops" are dangerous. At the stop line, press the brake until the tires stop rotating completely (0 km/h).
Counting "1, 2, 3" in your head is a good rhythm.

⚠️ Wheel Drop (Datsurin)

If you drive off the curb (S-curve or Crank) and continue, you fail immediately.
If you feel the drop, STOP immediately. Back up and try again. This is just a point deduction, not a failure. Do not force your way through!
