βHey guys we are planning to rent a vehicle in Narita or Tokyo on January. Do accept Canadian international license? This our first time driving a right hand vehicle lolβ
Absolutely, renting a car in Japan can be a fantastic way to see the sights at your own pace! But to drive here with a Canadian license, youβll need to grab an International Driving Permit before you arrive. Once youβre here, just a heads up: cars in Japan drive on the left, and controls are often flipped which can take a bit of getting used to. Always be vigilant about the road signs and rules, like completing full stops at stop signsβitβs crucial! Also, if youβre venturing into the mountains during winter, remember to equip your vehicle with snow chains. Safe travels!
