No german vehicles in Japan?
Hi,
I am still trying to organize my trip via Sakhalin to Japan.
The German Embassy in Tokyo just told me that german vehicles are not allowed to drive in Japan unless they are technically checked by Japanese authorities. Unfortunately I was told that such checks take several month and cost several millions yen. Therefore, the only practical solution would be to leave my bike with the custom authorities and travel otherwise.
The reason seems to be that one of these countries signed the wrong treaty.
This sounds strange to me, I heard of several german bikers travelling through Japan. Is there a solution or did they ride illegally?
Does anyone have informations?
Regards
Lars
