I was very surprised, that I was able to pass after just three 90 minute lessons, as I've heard everywhere how strict the examiners are.
I have 20 years of driving experience, but I wouldn't be able to pass all the small checkpoints which are tested on exam without Emmanuel-san's guidanc e.
Thank you very much! … – show
You will save a ton of money and learn everything you need to get your license in Japan.
I took the hal f course because I already had 15 years of driving under my belt, so I just needed to learn the rules for driving in Japan. Here's how the structure was:
1. You need to take a drivers permit written test first, 50 questions. I took some theory lessons to make sure I got all the important points for passing the test. This test is very tricky, so study the book they give you thoroughly.
2. After you pass the written test, you'll be scheduled for a practical drivers test on a closed course. I took 2 lessons with TDS on the course and then passed the practical test on the first try. You'll receive a drivers permit, which allows you to drive with another licensed driver in the vehicle if they've had their license for more than 3 years.
3. You need to take another written test after this, 100 questions. You can schedule it any time. Again, very tricky, so read through the book thoroughly or schedule more theory prep with TDS.
4. Once you pass the 100 question written test, you will schedule your practical test. You will need to have 5 driving sessions on the road with a licensed driver completed before you take the practical test. I did all 5 with TDS and it was a good time. They were very thorough and attentive during the on-the-road practicals and will make sure you drive the way the testing examiners want you to drive during the test.
5. Either before or after the final practical test, you will also need to spend a day at another school to attend a First Aid Class to obtain some certificate that you need for your license. During your last practical test, you will be driving on the road and then you will be taken to the course in order to do either parallel or reverse parking (most of the time it's reverse parking). If you pass the test and have your first aid certificate, you'll receive your driver's license on the same day.
It took me 6 months total to get my license from scratch here in Tokyo. The wait period for practical tests is around 4—6 weeks.
Overall, I'm very happy with the instructors, service, and price at TDS. The instructors are very kind, pragmatic, and intelligent. There is no way I would have passed the tests without them, even though I've been driving for 15 years. The tests are tricky, the examiners are very strict, and even with instructions you are likely to fail one of the exams at least once or twice. … – show
He is very patient teacher and knows the tips of all the tests. He has some tricks that can help you pass the examinations. I was in the beginning very stressed and nervous about driving but thanks to Emma san and Daniel’s teaching, I passed the final driving test in one time.
Great cost performance and all in English.
As driving is all about practice, I highly recommend to purchase more driving practic es to get used to driving. … – show
Fantastic trainer who have the skills/patience in helping you unlearn some of your unsafe driving practices and relearn the safe Japanese driving practices.
Would highly recommend him to all those who are seeking Driving License conversion in Tokyo.

Would really recommend this institute for getting the driving license.
Provide great theoretical and practical lessons!
It helped very much to successfully pass the exam.
Thank you very much!
There is lot extra fees to pay was not explained clearly as normally in Japan if you join the school (Khari menkyo) school will pay.
Everything is ok but still missing as professional and o fficially system from this School, so I hardly recommend to other.
When I ask for my Chapter 2 brief I been said the Mr. Ben is in Ghana.. I don’t care so this is so bad who is going to brief and also response is hold for more then 2 day’s. (sometime)
They never know who you are even my contract is still worth for 6 month they said our contract is over. I am so stuck with my choice of school.
As I said they are ok but not Professional according to Japanese CIRCUMSTANCES … – show
The trainer was very patient in explaining details, tips and tricks to understand the rules easily.
I passed my MT car driving test after just one session of practice with them.
Kudos to the team!
I highly recommend this school and my instructor Emmanuel.
