If you have a question about Japan please ask me on my channel and I will try to answer it.

One of my viewers asked me, "Is it difficult to get a driver's license in Japan?". Okay, that depends on what country you're coming from. There's two categories. The first category there's countries like The United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Germany, and I'll leave a list of those countries in the description area of this video. If you're from one of those countries, all you have to do is go to the department of motor vehicles in your prefecture here in Japan and you simply just change your license from your countrie's license to a Japanese license. That's it, you're done, you're finished.

Okay, if you're not from one of those countries, then it is very difficult to get a driver's license. And unfortunately America is not in that first category . . .

LIST OF COUNTRIES THAT ARE EXEMPT FROM DRIVING TEST IN JAPAN:

Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, The Netherlands, The United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Taiwan and South Korea.
