YES, there are 2 methods and you can find the details here: https://english.jaf.or.jp/driving-in-japan/drive-in-japan

In short, the most common method is by obtaining an International Driving Permit (IDP) issued under the 1949 Geneva Convention. These are commonly issued in your home country and must be presented together with a valid drivers license and passport for driving in Japan.

Alternatively, if you have a driver’s license issued in Switzerland, Germany, France, Belgium, Monaco or Taiwan, by following the requirements to obtain a Japanese translation of your license, you will be allowed to drive in Japan together with your valid original license and passport.

** Please Note

The expiration date of an international driver’s license is one year from the date of issuance, and the expiration date of driving in Japan is one year from the date of landing in Japan. There is a common trap for foreigners continuously residing in Japan for more than one year where the IDP becomes invalid and they must obtain a local Japanese drivers license to rent a camping car.

Driving with an international driver’s license obtained in a member country of the Paris Convention (1926), Washington Convention (1943), and Vienna Convention (1968) is not permitted in Japan.

The beauty of traveling in an Overland camping car is the freedom it gives you to get off the beaten path and find camping on the fly. We love hearing about new places and secret spots from our customers!

Ninja Camping / Nature Parking / Wild Camping — free nature spots and free parking sites along rivers, oceans, mountains found all over Japan. Legally you can generally park and sleep just about anywhere. The basic rule: if you see other people doing it, it is probably okay.

Auto Camping and Camp Sites — there are more than 1,000 auto camp sites throughout Japan. Google maps can be your best friend. Many camp sites require booking in advance, especially during national holidays and long weekends in the summer.

Roadside stations (Michi-no-eki 道の駅) — parking and resting facilities with large free parking areas and clean 24-hour restrooms. Parking and sleeping is usually okay but the general rule is one night only. No tables or chairs outside your camper, no fires.

Service Area / Parking Area — rest facilities on expressways with 24-hour restrooms. You may take a nap, but generally shouldn’t use the facility for overnight stay.
