Driving in Fukuoka: Need-to-Knows

- Keep Left: In Japan, people drive on the left side of the road and the driver’s seat is located on the right-hand side of the car. Much like back home!
- Speed Limit: Speed limits are strictly enforced in Japan. Generally, the limit is 40-50 km/h in urban areas, 50-80 km/h on open roads, and 80-100 km/h on expressways.
- Parking: Paid parking is the norm in Fukuoka. Some hotels offer parking facilities, but these may need to be booked in advance.
- International Driving Permit: You’ll need an International Driving Permit (IDP) to drive in Japan. Luckily, these can be obtained in the UK before you travel.
