Vehicle Insurance
Automobile Liability Insurance is obligatory. You will have to pay for this at the time of the vehicle inspection (shaken), which will probably work out at around ¥30,000 a year. Your insurance is valid until the next inspection date. It is also advisable to get voluntary insurance, as damage compensation can be quite expensive. If you are in an accident you will have to bear part of the cost and voluntary insurance will be help to minimise these costs.
