anyone knows what snake this is and if it is poisonous or not? (link below)

I saw this snake in our garden in the countryside of Kyoto prefecture. What kind is it, does anyone know?

Edit: I removed the link since the question was answered.
Thank you guys

  1. It’s an aodaisho – Japanese rat snake. Non venomous. It’s a colubrid (kills its prey by constriction) and keeps the rodent population in check. Great neighbours, and pretty in the sunlight.
