Roads are beautiful.

Awesome public transportation.

Where are all the fat people?

I'll vote yes.
Here let me break it down

For a Kanji plate

5 50 500 etc 44000 yen a year flat road tax 2 year JCI (Japanese Compulsory Insurance spelling yea yea) 85000 yen on average

3 30 300 etc 67000 yen a year flat road tax 2 year JCI (Japanese Compulsory Insurance spelling yea yea) 130000 yen on average


New cars come with 3 year JCI but road tax still has to be paid yearly

After a car reaches 10 years old the JCI becomes considerably more expensive

Also it is a PITA to get a car to pass JCI once it has been modded, and if your car has rust that has to be taken care of too.

A lot of Japanese buy a car use it for 3 years and get a new one thanks to their 6% interest on loans!!
