Japanese License Plate Meanings

[137]

Japanese License Plates :
The different colors are based on the size of the vehicle and whether
it is for commercial use or not. Regular cars have a white background
and black letters. Private cars under 660 cc have a yellow background
with black letters. Commercial use vehicles over 660 cc use white
letters on a green background while those under 660 cc use white
letters on a black background. If you see a white plate with a red
line through it, it's a temporary or dealer's plate. Blue plates
are usually diplomatic, while white plates with a certain kanji on
them are for consulate vehicles. White plates with no Japanese and
six digit numbers are military.
