"Japan is right hand drive."

Sure about that? Spent time in Okinawa and we drove left-hand side (so did almost everyone else).

Yes, you are correct, but being something of a car nut, I was thinking in terms of the cars, not the roads.

Cars in Japan, the UK, and many former British colonies are right hand drive and they are driven on the left. Cars in the US and most of the world are left hand drive and they are driven on the right.

Okinawa switched to RHD sometime in late 1976 or 1977.

At midnight one night. I was there. Quite interesting for a few days!

BTW, look at the ornate designs on the square building in the foreground. Looks Islamic to me.

I’d guess one of the “-stans”.
