Bringing in foreign-plate car into Japan for tourist vacation
When the Gumball 3000 rally came to Japan for the first time (back in 2018), it really instilled in my mind as to how cool it would be to bring your own car to Japan for a memorable vacation.
So yeah, I hope to do something like this myself someday.
Some questions though:
1) What do you exactly need?
I heard of things like IDP, Carnet (CDP), etc.
Do I need to head to the JAF Tokyo office first and tell them that I will be driving an Australian-registered car (NSW Yellow Plate) during my Japan vacation?
2) Signs and driving rules
I am aware that Tomare (止まれ) = STOP
But how about for other stuff?
Also, in Japan, can you make a turn on red? Or can you only turn when it is green? (e.g. like in the UK)
Thanks
Any feedback and insights are welcome =)
