I would like to introduce difference from Japan and America about driving to you Japanese road is left side, but American’s is right side. So while the driver’s seat is left side in America, in Japan is right side.

Next topic is about traffic light. The shape of Japanese traffic light is long at the side, but American’s is long at the length. There are some pushing traffic lights for foot passenger in America. In Japan there are not them as much as America.

Last topic is about kousokudouro and ETC. There is freeway in America, but there isn’t it in Japan. Japanese freeway is called “Kousokudouro”. Freeway is free road, but “Kousokudouro” is toll road. When you enter “Kousokudouro”, you must pay money by ETC. ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection System and is the gate. If you want to go through the gate by ETC, you must set up ETC machine in your car and plug ETC card into the machine. So money is deducted automatically from your bank account. Also if you don’t have ETC, you give the toll a guard directly.
