Converting a foreign driver's license in Japan can be challenging, especially when it comes to the driving skill test. Even experienced drivers may struggle because passing the test is not only about knowing how to drive-it also requires demonstrating specific safety checks and driving procedures consistently.
This course is designed to help you understand those procedures clearly and prepare for the Japanese driving skill test through focused, step-by-step lessons.
Learn the Safety Checks and Driving Procedures Expected During the Japanese Driving Skill Test
In this course, you will
-Learn when and how to perform the 3-point and 6-point safety checks.
-Understand the correct procedures for turning at intersections and changing lanes.
-Learn how to approach and pass road obstacles safely.
-Practice the procedures for the Crank and S-Curve.

This course focuses on the details that can be easy to overlook during the Japanese driving skill test.
I created this course after going through the foreign license conversion process myself. Although I had more than 25 years of driving experience, it took me seven attempts to pass the Japanese driving skill test.
After each unsuccessful attempt, I received feedback from Japanese examiners about the specific points I had missed. Over time, I realized that driving experience alone was not enough. I needed to understand exactly which safety checks and procedures were expected and perform them consistently.
That experience became the foundation of this course.
Instead of presenting many rules at once, the course is organized into short, focused lessons. Each lesson concentrates on a specific driving situation or procedure. You will see explanations, visual graphics, animations, and real driving footage designed to make each procedure easier to understand and remember.
You will first learn the essential 3-point and 6-point safety checks. From there, we will apply them to intersections, lane changes, road obstacles, the Crank and S-Curve, hill starts, railroad crossings, stop signs, pedestrian crossings, and other situations you may encounter during the driving skill test.
By the end of the course, you will have a clear understanding of the safety checks and driving procedures covered in the lessons and how to apply them consistently during your preparation for the Japanese driving skill test.
