What Is In The Book?
This book is intended to help anyone who wants to drive in Japan, but does not have the benefit of either experience or a Japanese drivers education. If you are Japanese, you have a cultural background that visitors lack; you can read Japanese, which visitors can not.
As a visitor it is easy to get confused by the strange street signs and roads full of writing. Where does the 30-zone end, and where does it start? What does the road sign with a push cart on it mean? Where will that old lady on a bicycle cross the road?

Japanese roads are full of cheery signs where the authorities encourage safer driving.
Going to Japan, you need to be prepared. The more you know, the more you understand about what you see, the more you will enjoy your visit. And that goes double for your driving. Getting out on the Japanese roads unprepared will reduce you to a trembling, nervous wreck by lunchtime your first day of driving. If you know what you are getting into, you will enjoy the experience. Especially if you stay out of the big cities.
That is why I wrote this book. Helping you prepare to make your experience in Japan more enjoyable is what I am working for.
So I wrote this book to help anyone who is not used to driving in Japan. I included chapters on how to drive in the big cities, how to handle smaller cities, Japanese road signs, winter and summer driving, how to handle earthquakes and tsunamis, expressways, children (and others with special needs) in the car.

On the side of the roads there are signs where the authorities tell you how to drive - or, like here, stop.
There are special chapters in how to handle pedestrians, what to do when you meet the police, what to do if you get into an accident, and how to avoid them. I tell you what car you should choose, how to drive in the mountains, and what to do when you meet cyclists and bicyclists.
During the course of the book, I generally try to point out the hundreds of things that you need to consider when driving in Japan - which is much more than keeping your car to the left side of the road.
Driving in Japan does not have to be difficult. It can even be fun. After reading this book, you are prepared for what you will meet on the Japanese roads.

Pasting the table of contents here is a bit like reading the TV guide. You know the name of the program, when it starts, and the presenter. But otherwise, it is not really the same thing. But here you are. At least you will have an idea about what is in the book.
