Q:How long does shipping from Japan to California take?
Standard air freight between Japan and the US generally takes around 8-10 days.
Q:What is the 3 year rule for cars in Japan?
Three years after purchase, every new car has to go through an expensive inspection process, and once every two years after that. Furthermore, vehicles older than 10 years have to pass the inspection every year. As a result, most car owners in Japan write off their cars after 10 years and buy new ones.
