A Rental Car at a Level Crossing Reignites Japan's Tourist Driving Debate
A rental car carrying five Chinese nationals collided with a train at a level crossing on JR's Furano Line in Hokkaido; local reporting said the five suffered minor injuries and none of the roughly 100 people aboard the train were hurt. On the same day, a Spanish tourist's post describing Japan's left-side driving as 'the reverse of ours' circulated, and the two stories merged into a single argument about who should be allowed behind the wheel.
