Japan Driving Guide

🚗 Drive
Seventy plain-English entries: driving on the left, documents and the rental-counter flow, insurance options in plain English, everyday road rules (full stops, railroad crossings, no turn on red), expressways and toll gates, city and countryside driving, seasons, trouble and returning the car full-to-full.

🛑 Road Sign Decoder
The 36 signs and road markings that actually matter to a visiting driver — drawn as clear original illustrations, filterable by category, each with what it means and what to do.

🅿️ Parking Decoder
The kanji on every parking signboard (full, vacant, monthly, hourly, maximum charge), how flap lots and gate lots work, and why the tempting empty "monthly" lot is not for you.

⛽ Pump Decoder
The nationwide nozzle colors — red regular, yellow high-octane, green diesel — plus full-service phrases, the self-service walkthrough, and the kanji trap that puts diesel into kei cars.

✅ Pre-Drive Checklist
Twelve things sorted before you take the wheel — documents, child seats, ETC card, offline maps, cash — with progress saved on your device.

💬 Phrases
30 sentences for the rental counter, the gas station, parking machines, police stops and trouble — each with a full-screen version you can simply show.
