Happy Customers🎉

Excellent Driving School. I totally enjoyed my experience on learning how to Drive from scratch with the help of my amazing Instructors and of course to Kenji San. He gives clear, easy to follow instructions and very straight forward. He is also very patient and has a good sense of humour which helps me with my nervousness. He is very committed as he makes time for his students. A great experience overall. Whether you are a new learner or simply brushing up, I highly recommend you to check out this place. It may sound weird but I will totally miss my lessons here ~

FAQ

How long does it take to get a driver's license?

How long it takes to get a license is determined mainly by three factors.

  • Your availability to come to our school and practice

  • The availability of test slots at the license center 

  • Your ability to pass each of the license tests

So, if you

  • come to our school 3 times or more per week,

  • during the off season (NOT August and March), and

  • pass tests within a few times 

You can get a license in less than 1 month (record: 3 weeks).

How many times do I have to go to your school and practice?

It depends on the speed of your driving skill acquisition. If you are a quick learner, 10 ~ 12 times may be enough to reach the level to pass the driving exam.

I don't live in Wakayama. Can I go to your school to get a license?

Of course you can. We do our best to schedule your practice so that you don't need to stay long in Wakayama. We can offer you a 3 hour of practice per day (not busy months).

I live in Osaka and want to go to your school. Does your school offer the accommodation?

We don't offer the accommodation, so you are required to find a place to stay by yourself.
It can be at your friend's house, business hotel, or anywhere etc.

Can I use a credit card?

Sorry, but you cannot use credit card. You can pay by cash or bank transfer.

Can I pay in installments?

Yes, you can. You can pay in 3 installments. 1st installment during registration. 2nd installment after passing the written exam and final installment after obtaining your learner's permit."
