Ride Guide

The Japan ride guide

From licences and traffic rules to insurance, ETC and itinerary planning — read up before you ride.

How to plan your trip

Whether you are travelling alone or want us to arrange a group itinerary for your car club, we can help you plan it.

Decide the must-see spots first, then link them into a route that flows without doubling back.

Work out how many days you'll ride first — it directly shapes the pace and budget of your trip.

The budget basically consists of motorcycle rent, fuel, highway tolls, food, accommodation and parking.

The actual rent depends on the vehicle class, rental period and the accessories you choose.

The basic fee already includes Japan's compulsory and voluntary insurance, with optional vehicle compensation and MamoRide compensation available.

ETC is Japan's wireless electronic toll system, letting you pass toll gates on the expressway without stopping.

Here are the main traffic rules you need to follow when driving in Japan.

To give you the best service, please take a few minutes to learn the details and restrictions of renting a motorcycle in Japan.
