Driving Lessons for Foreign License Conversion
These practical driving lessons are for drivers who plan to convert a regular car license obtained overseas into a Japanese driver’s license. Traffic rules, road signs, safety checks, and driving manners in Japan may differ from those in other countries.
At Musashisakai Driving School, you can practice the basic driving skills and traffic rules needed to drive safely in Japan while getting used to Japanese road conditions.
Please Confirm Before Applying
Foreign license conversion procedures and required tests vary depending on the country or region where your driver’s license was issued. In some cases, the driving skills test may be waived. In other cases, you may need to take the driving skills test.
Before starting the foreign license conversion process, we recommend checking the required procedures and test details with a driver’s license center or other relevant authority.
