Car Culture

Unlike Tokyo, Nagoya is a car-friendly city. Many residents own cars, and parking is relatively affordable. If you work at Toyota or factories outside central Nagoya, having a car is very helpful. An international driving permit is valid for 1 year; after that, you'll need a Japanese license (conversion process at Aichi Driving License Center).
