JR lines are available if you take a train or monorail from Haneda Airport to Shinagawa or Hamamatsucho Stations.

How to get from haneda airport to kobe by car

It is also possible to rent a car from Haneda Airport to Kobe. However, it takes less than 7 hours by expressway (toll). Driving on unfamiliar Japanese roads for 7 hours is dangerous and not recommended.

What you need to drive in Japan

To drive in Japan, you will need either a Japanese driver’s license, an international driver’s license, or a driver’s license from a country or region that has a licensing system recognized as being of a level equivalent to that of foreign countries for driving automobiles and other vehicles.

Japanese driver’s license

To obtain a driver’s license in Japan, you are required to submit a certificate of residence showing your permanent address. Foreign residents can also obtain a driver’s license by presenting a certificate of residence.

International Driver’s License

It is issued at the police station of each country and can be driven in Japan within its one-year validity period. Since it cannot be issued in Japan, be sure to obtain one in your own country beforehand.

Driver’s license of your own country

The countries of Taiwan, Switzerland, Germany, France, Belgium, and Monaco can be driven in Japan without an international driver’s license, as long as it is accompanied by a license from their country and an official translation.
