Driving in Mito

Essential car rental and driving tips for exploring Ibaraki Prefecture

Can I drive in Mito with my US driver's license?

Yes, but you need an official Japanese translation of your US license. Get one from the Japan Automobile Federation (JAF) before arrival or at Narita Airport. An International Driving Permit (IDP) is not required if you have the JAF translation. Your US license must be valid.

Is it hard to drive on the left side of the road in Japan?

For most US drivers, left-hand traffic takes adjustment. In Mito and Ibaraki, roads are generally well-marked with clear signs. The biggest challenge is navigating intersections and roundabouts. Renting a car with a GPS that speaks English is highly recommended—it guides you through tricky spots step by step.

How much are highway tolls, and should I get an ETC device?

Highway tolls in Japan are expensive—expect ¥3,000-5,000 (USD 20-35) for a one-way trip from Tokyo to Mito. Rent an ETC card at the rental counter (usually ¥300-500/day) to use express lanes and sometimes get small discounts. If you plan to drive more than 100km, the ETC easily pays for itself.

Do I need winter tires or snow chains in Mito?

From December to February, snow and ice are common on roads around Mito. While studless winter tires are legally required on snowy roads in Ibaraki Prefecture, rental companies offer snow tires for ¥1,500-2,500/day. Book in advance—availability is limited during peak winter months.

How much is parking in Mito city center?

Underground parking lots charge ¥200-400 per 30 minutes, with daily maximums around ¥2,000-3,000. Street parking is harder to find and costs ¥100-200 per 15-30 minutes with time limits (usually 8am-8pm). Consider staying at a hotel with free parking if you're visiting for more than a day.
