Driving In Japan
That the left is the right side to drive in Japan is not the only part of Japanese traffic culture that is confusing. The road signs, the directions painted on the road, the traffic light with arrows pointing this way and that - it is enough to confuse the most experienced driver.
But driving in Japan does not have to be difficult - if you know what you are getting into. And that is why I wrote a book to help you. Based on my own experiences from more than 10 years of driving in Japan, “Driving In Japan” is as practical as I could make it. If you are planning on renting a car while in Japan, get this ebook. Or if you are old-fashioned and thinks books should use paper, get the paperback! Available now!

Out Now! Take Your Toddlers To Tokyo - My Latest Book
It took 15 years - and 9 years walking with my kids - but now I have finally distilled my notes from going all over Tokyo into a book for other parents planning to bring their children to Japan.
“Take Your Toddlers To Tokyo” is intended to help anyone who is planning to bring their children to Tokyo, especially of course while they are toddlers. You can read more about the book on the dedicated book page, and more about what I am writing now on my writing in progress page, and on the current and forthcoming books pages.
You can also get the book directly from the ebook store of your choice, by following this link. And that is where you can get the pocketbook version too! https://books2read.com/u/md10gd
If you are interested in the book but want to know more, here I am talking about it in a Youtube video.
Driving In Japan
It is surprisingly easy to drive in Japan - until you come to a roadsign which is incomprehensible, or your fellow motorists do something unexpected. If you understand the traffic signs and rules of the road, they are much less so. If you rent a car, getting around is easy. But rent the right car in the right place. Read more about it here.
If you consider driving in Japan, I wrote a book about it based on my own experiences. You can read more on the book information page.
Travel In Japan
If you live in Japan, you can travel freely across the country. Restrictions for foreign tourists are likely to disappear once the pandemic has stabilized, which now (May 2022) looks like it would happen during the autumn season.
One of the best ways of traveling is to drive yourself. You can read more about how here.
If you have a chance, bring your kids to Japan. If you plan properly it is an experience that will stay with them forever. But did I say you have to plan properly? You can read more about it here.
Even if you do not bring your kids, you should plan ahead - and that means figure out what to expect.

Sightseeing In Tohoku
The northern third of Japans biggest island is where nature comes closest, but also where you will find hot spring resorts cut from a fairytale, and golden temples which have been sites of worship since ancient times.
Perennial Highlights From Japan
There are places and things you can not miss when you go to Japan, from buying drinks in the ubiquitous vending machines to admiring mt Fuji from a distance.
Seasonal Highlights From Japan
The Japanese year is dominated by the seasons, which change the way people relate to the year. There are festivals all around the year, some low-key like the moon viewing, some attracting millions of people and dominating the year in the city, like Nebuta in Aomori or Hatsumode in Harajuku.
There are seasons you should go to Japan, seasons to avoid and seasons which are better in different parts of the country.
