JYC Driving School

Welcome to JYC Driving School. I'm Shimizu, a driving instructor.

I have 20-year experience in teaching as an instructor and examiner at a driving school approved by Kyoto prefectural public safety commission.

For 13 years out of those 20 years I was in charge of English training course. I supported more than 200 foreign students to get their Japanese license.

Approved driving schools are strictly controlled by Public Safety Commission (Japan Police). Everything must be done by following designated curriculum stipulated by law. This is well-organized and good for some beginners. This school system keeps Japanese roads safe. On the other hand, it can also be said that it's inflexible. Some people need more flexible training according to their situation.

Some of foreigners have long experience of driving outside of Japan. But driving in Japan is quite difficult even for them compared to driving in other countries. Japanese rules of the road are complicated, and people must drive on the left side of the road. This is rare in the world, and it makes foreign drivers confused.
In recent years, the number of foreign tourists and residents has been increasing. At the same time, the number of traffic accidents by foreigner is also increasing. This is becoming a societal problem.

The problem is there are few driving schools that can provide English driving lessons. There are few ways they can learn the Japanese traffic rules.

That's why I started JYC Driving School with my team to meet those demands. JYC Driving School can provide English lessons more flexibly according to your situation.

We also provide English driving lessons at approved driving school following the strict curriculum as the external instructor (if you like).

I'm calm and patient. I always try my best to teach driving so my students easily understand what they need to correct.
