In Japan, all privately owned automobiles are required to have a specific parking space. Parking by the roadside is prohibited. The width and length of space should be sufficient for your vehicle and must be with in 2km from your registered residence address. Car parking spaces which can be paid for monthly are a good option. Once you have found a suitable parking space, you can then request that your landlord, building owner or real-estate agent fill in an official form to prove that the space is yours.

Other Information
●Public Inspection:車検(SYAKEN)
In Japan, there is a regulation called Syaken which is a public vehicle inspection which must be renewed every two years. All cars must pass the Syaken inspection.
Vehicle inspection and registration systems contribute to ensure vehicle safety and prevent pollution. It also allows identification of individual vehicles and gives a general idea of the cars condition and usage.
We arrange Syaken and renew it for a reasonable cost.
●Car Insurance:自動車保険(HOKEN)
There are two types of insurance in Japan. One is a mandatory (compulsory) automobile liability insurance and the other is an optional (voluntary) insurance.
Mandatory insurance is required by law. This insurance is renewed every two years along with the Syaken inspection.
Mandatory insurance covers only the other party in accident resulting in injury or death. This insurance does not apply to the following cases.
・Injury of the vehicle driver (yourself)
・Repair costs of your vehicle
・Independent accident resulting in injury or death of yourself
・Any damage to property or objects (poles, fences etc.)
Optional (voluntary) insurance covers both yourself and any other parties involved in an accident.
