How to reach Landing in Japan, and what we can and cannot help with.
One person reads this address. Replies are in English or Japanese.
Corrections are the most welcome kind of mail
If something on this site is wrong, out of date, or misleading, please say so. A link to the page and a note about what is off is enough — you do not need to be polite about it.
Rules change, companies revise their terms, and I misread things. Corrections get made and the date at the top of the affected page changes.
This is especially useful if you have just been through a procedure yourself. What a licence centre or a leasing company actually did is worth more than what its website says.
What this site cannot do for you
To be straight with you before you write:
- We cannot tell you whether a company will approve your application. Every leasing company runs a credit assessment and none publishes its criteria. Anyone who gives you a threshold is guessing.
- We cannot give legal, immigration or financial advice. For your specific situation, that means a lawyer, an administrative scrivener (行政書士), or the company itself.
- We cannot act on your behalf — no accompanying you to the licence centre, filling in forms, or contacting companies for you.
- We cannot tell you the rules for your prefecture with certainty. Procedures are national but administered locally. Your own prefectural police are the authority on their own counter.
What we can do is point you at the source, in English, so you know what to ask and who to ask.
For companies
If you appear in a comparison here and something about your entry is wrong, please write. A correction from the company itself is the strongest kind we can publish, and it will be marked on the page as coming from you.
If your terms do not currently state a rule that our table shows as Not stated, telling us the rule is the fastest way to change that.
We do not accept payment for placement or for a better position in a comparison. That is not a negotiating position; see How We Compare.
Response time
This is a one-person site, not a support desk. Expect days rather than hours, and expect nothing at all if the question is one the page above says we cannot answer.
