GaimenGo Academy — Japan’s Driving Rules, Chapter by Chapter

Learn the rules the Japanese foreign licence conversion (Gaimen Kirikae) written test actually tests, in plain language. Each chapter explains one part of the theory with real road-sign images, then ends with a short review quiz.

What the 13 chapters cover

• Road signs — prohibitory, mandatory and warning signs, with the real Japanese artwork
• Right of way, speed and parking — the core rules the test returns to again and again
• Pavement markings and traffic signals, including police hand signals
• The conversion process itself — eligibility, paperwork and what changed in October 2025
• Prefecture-by-prefecture differences, because the test is not identical everywhere
• The wording traps that fail people who know the rule perfectly well

How the Academy fits with practice

The Academy teaches the rule; the question bank drills it. Most people read a chapter, then practise that category until the wording stops surprising them, then sit a timed mock exam.

Do I need an account?

Yes — the Academy is free, but the chapters open once you sign in. Practice questions and your first mock exam do not need an account.
