Driving in Fukutsu

Essential car rental and driving FAQ for travellers to Fukutsu, Japan

Can I drive in Japan with my UK licence, or do I need an International Driving Permit?

You will need an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside your full UK driving licence. Your UK licence alone is not sufficient in Japan. Apply for your IDP from the AA or RAC before departure (approximately £5.50), and carry both documents at all times. The IDP is valid for one year from entry into Japan.

Japan drives on the left – is that the same as the UK?

Yes, Japan also drives on the left side of the road, which will feel familiar to UK drivers. However, be aware that many road markings, signage and junction layouts differ significantly from the UK. Also note that roundabouts are far less common in Japan than in Britain, and right-turning traffic often has its own dedicated signal phase.

How do I pay for motorway tolls in Japan – is an ETC device worth renting?

Motorway tolls in Japan are notoriously expensive, often exceeding ¥3,000 (£15–20) for a 100km journey. An Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) card is highly recommended – most rental companies offer ETC units for around ¥330–550 per day. You can also pay manually with cash or credit card at toll booths, but this causes significant delays, especially at peak times.

Are winter tyres necessary when driving around Fukutsu in winter?

Fukutsu city itself sits at low altitude and rarely sees heavy snowfall, so winter tyres are not strictly required within the city. However, if you plan to venture into the mountainous areas of Kyushu (such as Mt. Aso or the kitsuga ranges), winter tyres or snow chains become essential from December through February. Snow chains can be rented from rental companies for approximately ¥1,500–3,000 per rental.

What side is the steering wheel, and will that cause me problems?

In Japan, vehicles are right-hand drive (steering wheel on the right side). This matches UK vehicles, so cockpit layout and mirror positioning will feel familiar. The bigger adjustment is the indicator stalk – in Japan it is on the right side of the steering column (opposite to UK cars), which catches many British drivers off guard for the first few kilometres.
