Converting a foreign licence in Japan — everything you need to prepare, in one place
MenkyoKit focuses on the foreign-licence conversion (外免切替). It breaks traffic rules, signals, trap questions, skill-check moves and real test-course routes into clear steps — in multiple languages — turning uncertainty into practice you can check.

On-road essentials →Content designed around real exam pain points
Most foreign drivers fail not because they can't drive, but because Japan expresses rules, signals, stops and priority differently from what they're used to. MenkyoKit isolates exactly those easy-to-misjudge spots.
From “I understand it” to “I do it right”
The course explains rules through the lens of the conversion exam: which rules are tested most, which moves lose points, and which Japanese keywords you must recognise. Understand in your own language first, then review the Japanese terms.
Multilingual isn't decoration
The hard part of the Japanese test is translating between rule understanding and exam language. MenkyoKit lowers the barrier with your language while keeping the Japanese keywords you'll face at the test centre.
