How to get from Narita airport to Fukuoka by car

It is possible to get from Narita Airport to Fukuoka by car, but it is simply not cost-effective and is not recommended. Also, there are certain things you need to have in order to drive in Japan. Please check the following information.

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.

Narita to Fukuoka distance

The distance from Narita Airport to Fukuoka is approximately 1162 kilometers. It is not practical to drive this distance. If you are planning to visit Japan for the first time, it would be more efficient to fly or take the Shinkansen.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is almost impossible to drive from Narita Airport. You can also rent a car at Narita Airport, but it will take more than 14 hours even if you drive without rest.
