Driving in Tokyo: What to expect on the road

Documents you'll need
You’ll need your driving licence, passport and a credit card to rent a car in Tokyo.
Many visitors need an International Driving Permit (IDP), as Japan accepts only certain licence formats. Rental companies also check that your identification matches your booking and payment card.
Navigating city driving
Tokyo has clear signs and organised traffic.
Driving is manageable using navigation apps, which help you avoid complex junctions and guide you to key districts. Central streets are slower at peak times, especially near stations and business areas.
Tolls, emissions zones and charges
Tokyo’s expressways use electronic tolls.
Tolls are charged through your rental car. There are no emissions zones. Toll roads are clearly signed on main expressway approaches, and charges vary depending on the distance travelled.
Parking your car in Tokyo
Car parks are the most reliable option.
Street spaces are rare. Multi-storey car parks provide easy access to shops, stations and hotels. Always follow signposts for fees, time limits and parking rules in different neighbourhoods.
Finding fuel or charging points
Fuel and chargers are available throughout Tokyo.
Petrol stations sit along major roads, and EV charging stations in Tokyo are increasing. Charging points are growing across both central and suburban areas. Apps like PlugShare help you plan longer trips.
Local driving style and tips
Drivers are careful and follow rules closely.
Traffic is orderly, though junctions get busy during peak hours. Keep speeds low, use clear signals and watch for pedestrians and cyclists, especially near stations and shopping streets.
