English Driving School in Tokyo & Saitama for Foreign Drivers

Driving in Japan Is Different.

We Help You Drive Safely:
Kiki Driving School is an english driving school designed specifically for foreigners who want to drive safely and confidently in Japan.

Japanese traffic rules, road culture, and safety expectations are very different from many other countries.

Our mission is not only to help you learn the rules — but to help you become an accident-free, responsible driver on Japanese roads.

Why Foreign Drivers Need Special Training in Japan

Driving in Japan can be challenging, even for experienced drivers from overseas. Foreign drivers often struggle because Japan has:

• Left-side driving and unique right-of-way rules
• Narrow residential streets with many pedestrians and bicycles
• Complex intersections and numerous road markings
• Strict safety expectations and detailed traffic regulations
• High-speed expressways with tight merging lanes

At our english driving school, we explain all these differences in clear, simple English and provide practical training so you can handle Japan’s real road environment with confidence.

Our Training Courses

1. Beginner Driver Course

— First Time Driving in Japan:
This course is designed for foreign residents who are driving in Japan for the first time.

You will learn basic and advanced Japanese road rules, how to maintain safe lane positioning and make smooth turns, how to develop hazard awareness suited to Japanese traffic conditions, how to park, reverse, and control the car at low speeds, and the common mistakes foreign drivers often make—and how to avoid them safely.

2. Real-Road Practical Lessons

In this course, you will drive in actual Japanese traffic environments rather than only on a closed course. Training includes navigating residential areas with children and bicycles, driving through busy city streets in Tokyo and Saitama, and handling complex intersections filled with various signs and signals.

These lessons help you build real-world confidence, not just test-oriented driving skills.

3. Tokyo High way Training

Expressway driving is one of the biggest challenges for foreign drivers in Japan.

In this course, you will learn how to merge at high speeds and change lanes safely, how to pass through ETC gates and toll booths correctly, how to handle the tight curves and narrow lanes of the Shuto Expressway, and how to maintain safe speed control under pressure.

4. Safety Awareness Program

Many foreign drivers overlook important safety points in Japan—such as unmarked pedestrian crossings where pedestrians always have priority, priority rules that differ greatly from their home countries, the behavior and blind spots of motorcycles and scooters, and special regulations in school zones and residential areas.

This program teaches you how to anticipate hazards before they appear and drive proactively to prevent accidents, not merely follow traffic rules.

Driving mistakes in Japan can affect your visa

Japan’s traffic rules are very different from overseas, and misunderstandings can lead to accidents or violations.

Accidents or violations can cause problems for your job, money, or legal responsibilities, and may also impact your visa renewal.

At our school, we teach our program clearly in English, including Japan-vs-home-country differences and Shuto Expressway practice, to help you become a safe and confident foreign resident driver.
