Dash-Cam Driving Japan: Ōmishima & Shimanami Kaido

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to drive through Japan? Thanks to our trusty dash-cam, and our cute little kei truck, we can show you! Driving in Japan is in some ways very straightforward, albeit everything is opposite. Streets don’t typically have names. Sometimes the (two-way) roads are designed just barely wider than one of our mini-sized vehicles. But the drivers are very polite, and there are no underside-scraping topes (speed bumps) like Mexico.

Each of the following videos are different lengths and different experiences, as we continue to learn how to best make these dash-cam style videos. I’ve been getting feedback that the subtitles on the bottom help make the videos more entertaining, so I’ll keep that up in future dash-cam videos!

Bonus: Some side-scrolling footage from the Shinkansen bullet train. This was my first time seeing Japan, as we traveled from Tokyo to Ōmishima, our new home.

Thanks for reading,
