Easy driving in Japan with drive-in-Japan
Do you want to rent a car in Japan? Here you can get your driving license quickly, easily and cheaply.
Our Services
To drive a vehicle (car, camper, motorcycle, etc.) in Japan, you need an official Japanese translation of your driver's license issued in Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, France, Monaco, or Taiwan. International driver's licenses from these countries are not valid in Japan!
You can then legally drive all categories of vehicles acquired on your valid driving license, from 50cc scooters to trucks.
We're happy to help you get this translation quickly and affordably. All you need is a valid driver's license and a credit card.
After uploading the photos, correctly filling out the form and paying with your credit card, I will then begin submitting the application directly to the Japan Automobile Federation (JAF) so that you will receive your driver's license on time.
No matter where you need it, we will send the translation to wherever you need it or you can print it yourself at the nearest 7/11 convenience store in Japan.
How do I get my translation?
When taking photos, you need to consider the following:
A clear photo of the front and back of your valid national driving license in JPG format
The following examples cannot be accepted (too far away, too close, blurry, etc.)
About Us
and how it came about
My wife Yuko and I (Jörg) started building our dream of our own small hotel in Okinawa in 2020. Two years later we were able to open our hotel "Little Swiss House" and welcome our first guests (at that time only from Japan).
In 2025, I realized that guests from Germany and Switzerland often have trouble getting a valid driver's license to rent a car, so I decided to help these people.
