BunBun Rider's Magazine published a 2026 edition guide to Japan's mid-size motorcycle license (up to 400cc). Starting from zero costs roughly 180,000 to 230,000 yen with 26 classroom hours and 19 riding hours, while holders of a car license need only 1 classroom hour and 17 riding hours, cutting the cost to around 100,000 to 150,000 yen. Riding schools take about one to two months to complete, or as few as 8 to 9 days at an intensive camp course.
