Frequently Asked Questions
Is MenkyoDojo free? Do I need an account?
Yes — MenkyoDojo is free. You can practice a full set of karimen questions with no sign-up. Creating a free account (no payment involved) unlocks every question across karimen, honmen and gaimen kirikae.
What is Karimen?
Karimen is the provisional licence issued after you pass stage one at a driving school, or the aptitude, written and practical exams on the direct-application route. You need it before practising on public roads.
What is Gaimen Kirikae?
Gaimen Kirikae (foreign licence conversion) is the process of converting a foreign driving licence into a Japanese one. Depending on your country, it can require only a knowledge check, or also a practical exam.
Is MenkyoDojo affiliated with the Japanese government or police?
