How to get a Japanese driver's license

The number of foreigners living in Japan is increasing every year, and the number of foreigners who wish to drive a car in Japan is also increasing at the Nakajo Driving School.
In Japan, there are many people who are not familiar with the traffic rules in Japan.
However, traffic rules are different between Japan and other countries.
For example, in some countries, the basic traffic rules are on the right side of the road as opposed to Japan, where the basic traffic rules are on the left.
As you can see, there are many things you may not understand or feel comfortable about when applying for a driver's license in a foreign country.
Isn't it?

In order for foreign people to have a wonderful car life and a better environment here in Japan Nakajo Driving School will do everything possible to support you.

母国での運転免許証を所持しているが、外免切り替え手続きを行なうよりも日本で新たに運転免許証を取得する方のメリットが高いと感じ、数々の自動車学校に問い合わせた結果、当校へ入校。日本語の理解度は低めでしたが、母国語以外に英語を話せる為、意思の疎通は問題なく図れました。いくつか宗教上の配慮を行いました。
Although I possess a driver's license from my home country, I felt that obtaining a new driver's license in Japan would be more advantageous than going through the process of converting my foreign license. After inquiring with several driving schools, I enrolled in this school. My understanding of Japanese was limited, but I could communicate without any problems since I spoke English in addition to my native language. Several religious accommodations were made.
