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 service
To drive a vehicle in Japan – whether car, camper, motorcycle or scooter – you need an official Japanese translation of your national driver's license.
This applies to driving licenses from Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, France, Monaco and Taiwan .
Important: International driving licenses from these countries are not valid in Japan.
All categories listed on your valid national driving licence – from 50cc scooters to trucks – can be legally driven in Japan after receiving the translation.
Fast & affordable translation through us
We help you obtain the official translation easily and affordably.
All you need is:
your valid driver's license
a credit card
Flexible delivery
We will send you the completed translation to any address you specify – worldwide.
Alternatively, you can conveniently print them yourself in a 7/11 convenience store in Japan.
How do I get my translation?
When taking photos, you need to consider the following:

About Us
and how it came about
My wife Yuko and I, Jörg, started fulfilling our dream of owning our own small hotel in Okinawa in 2020. Two years later, we were able to open our "Little Swiss House" and welcome our first guests – at that time exclusively from Japan.
In 2025, I noticed that many of our guests from Germany and Switzerland were having difficulty obtaining a valid driver's license to rent a car here. Therefore, I decided to help them and offer this additional service.
