Hello, I just came to Japan couple of weeks ago & I was hoping I can get some information as to what I have to do in order to get a Japanese license and where to look for a second hand car and the process of purchasing one? (I do not know Japanese language but am in the process of learning it)
I have collected some information off the web,I was hoping for a different perspective.
Many thanks in advance.

Do you have a driver’s license in your home country? Depending on where you are from it may be possible to convert your foreign license to a Japanese license. If you don’t have a foreign license, you will have to go to driving school here in Japan.
you now the [search function](https://www.reddit.com/r/japanlife/search/?q=Japanese%20drivng%20licence&restrict_sr=1), where you can search for “Getting Japanese driving licence”.

Question, do you have a driving licence (from your country) ?
What a new, exciting and original question!
u/nosduh2 provided all the information you need. Go forth, spread your wings and ~~fly~~ drive!
[This](https://www.reddit.com/r/japanlife/search/?q=drivers%20licence&restrict_sr=1&type=comment) will give you more comment hits. I recommend for both searches to sort by “new”.
I got my driver’s license here and didn’t have any in my home country. Would love to help but I agree, what are you actually asking about?
