With the assistance of an English satnav, parts of rural Japan are a joy to explore by car. In both Japan and Australia, cars drive on the left hand side of the road and the driver's seat and steering wheel is on the right.
Japanese drivers are overwhelmingly safe and courteous, adhering to the local speed limit. Road rules and signage follow international standards and many of the important navigation signage is also in English.
So combine a Japan Package Tour with a self-drive experience.
*An International Driving Permit MUST be valid and arranged in advance.
