Cost of secondary (voluntary) car insurance in Tokyo?

Hi everyone,

I’m in my 40s and in the process of converting my foreign drivers license, so I don’t yet have any driving history in Japan.

I’m trying to figure out the ballpark cost of secondary car insurance here. I’m considering a used (CPO) sports car, maybe around 5-7 million yen.

I read that it’s cheaper in Japan vs. other countries but I’ve never seen concrete numbers.

E.g., is it closer to 100,000円 per month or 100,000円 per year? (both could be possible in my home country depending on the type of car, coverage, location, deductibles, etc.)

Thanks for any help.
