Scooter Rental – English Service

Welcome to OkinawaNorth.com – scooter rentals run by Richard and Hikari.

When we first came to Okinawa, we fell in love with its beaches and quiet spots, but soon discovered that buses are limiting and cars can’t reach many hidden places. That’s why we started our scooter rental service – a simple, flexible way for visitors to see more.

Our scooters let you enjoy coastal roads, local restaurants, and peaceful escapes at your own pace. Helmets and insurance are included, and with clear, friendly English support, booking is always stress-free.

Book today and discover northern Okinawa the easy and enjoyable way – on a scooter.

Looking for a place to stay? Our cozy log cabin offers the perfect retreat.

Ready to explore Okinawa’s underwater world? We also rent out high-quality snorkel gear!

International Driving Permits & License Translations

If you have a foreign driving license, you will need an additional document: either an International Driving Permit (IDP) or a License Translation. This will be separate from your original driving license and should be carried together with your original license and passport.

The specific document required depends on the country where your original license was issued. These documents are generally easy and affordable to obtain.

International Driving Permit

For counties listed in the Geneva Convention of 1949, an International Driving Permit is required. This must be a physical booklet issued by your home country's licensing authority.

Digital IDPs (e.g., mobile app versions, PDF scans, or digital wallets) are not valid for driving in Japan.

Licence Translation

For Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, France, Monaco and Taiwan, an official Japanese translation of your driving license is required to ride a scooter in Japan. Once in Japan, your translation can be applied for online and collected via a printing service at convenience stores.
