Driving Zone: Japan – Simulation Game Review
Driving Zone: Japan is a Simulation/Racing game from Alexander Sivatsky, first launched in 7th September 2016.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 49+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Driving Zone: Japan Stand Out
Driving Zone: Japan – a simulator of street racing on the cars produced in Japan.
In this game is presented a variety of cars of the Japanese manufacturers: from classic city cars, to worship drifting cars and modern sports cars. Each of the vehicles in the game has it's own specifications and engine sounds. Well detailed body and dashboard create the effect of full presence and realism.
The game offers four unique tracks with different weather conditions. Drive on scenic country road dotted with cherry blossoms, or go for a ride in the Japanese city, which is particularly beautiful at night, thanks to the traditional Japanese lanterns, hanging over the road. If you are a real extreme racer, you should drive on winter track with dangerous icy road. Or drive on special racing tracks where time is your rival. You can choose the time of the day, that will change dynamically during driving.
Start the engine, press down on the gas and chase as quickly as possible. Earn points by overtaking traffic cars, you need them to open the new vehicles, modes and other features of the game.
This racing simulator gives you the ability to choose the style of driving that can be tranquil and safe or extremely racing. The abundance of settings allows you to customize a level of car physics realism, from arcade and simple to the most realistic, as in the difficult racing simulator in which you will need to show your driving skills.
Features:
- Modern beautiful graphics;
- Realistic car physics;
- Change the time of day in real-time;
- Qualitatively modeled Japan cars;
- 4 tracks with different weather conditions and special racing tracks;
- First person view / interior camera / cinematic camera.
This Simulation game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
We love the game so we wanted to give a quick car suggestion! We were wondering if yall could add the new 2023 Lexus ES or LS into the game, a luxury sedan! We would appreciate it! Also thanks for reviewing this comment if you read it.
Please add a road for Tokyo and add a sea side road, we want the road to be based on a bridge next to the ocean please respond when you get this message we want to see our idea happen, Ive never been to Japan before but we know a lot about it, so please add Tokyo road with tall buildings and scratch the sea just tall buildings, and add the neon signs when it becomes night in the game, to further make the game more like Japan.
It would be great if ther was some other new maps specifically something like off-road ways.
We really loved this game. But the new update you changed the road and the interior to japan style. Its nice but for us we didn't like it. If you don't mind to put an option for those who wants to change the road and the interior to american style. We will appreciate it.
We are saying 3 stars just because it is not supposed to be a big game. A few things that are not great, there should be more roads we think there should be more cars it is also just a mid type of game. We would only play if we were really bored. We are keeping game but if had to decide we would not consider downloading.
Allow the ai to turn into the parking lot in the city.
The game is fun and everything but we hate when everytime we play it just give us a night, have to drive for 20000+ to see the day light and the other thing is there is not much choices for cars.
Love how simple it is and how much it makes us feel like im driving when we cant actually drive. Hope an update can come soon.
Add the 2007 Lexus GX470. It is a nice car.
The game wont let us get more car.
We love you guys so much but you guys are amazing byebye.
Love it is it ok to add Honda HRV GH4 2002 5doors.
Amazing game needs a update like adding more and more cars.
Add new car: Lexus LX570- Toyota FJ Cruiser- Lexus RX350- Neisan Patrol.
Love it so much and in the next update may the creator(s) a 2019 Chevy Traverse redline addition bit really keep up the good work.
Can u plz add a 240sx S13 S14 S15.
Best game ever we love the Toyota Sequoia.
PUT A HONDA CIVIC EG6 PLS DEVELOPER PLS PLS ALEXANDER SIVATSKY IM BEGGING YOU.
We need a new cars with Toyota corolla 2016, Please.
We would like to see a few more kei cars and driving on the left side. We would also like to see the driving settings like in Russia, Indicators, Horn, Lights, etc.
We wish we had turns and Steep hills to instead of just driving on a straight boring road thats gets boring sometimes.
You could add a few minivans like the Toyota Alphard or Toyota Vellfire and the Toyota Camry we feel like youre missing lotta Toyotas and you should add maybe some more minivans we feel like theres none of those.
Plz add the 2017 Toyota Tundra plz.
Please add toyata Avalon 2009,awesome game.
Hate your game we deleted your game your time is over you dont have time to fix our problems 1. Expensive cars 2. Boring 3. That much expensive that we didnt be able to buy a skyline our most favorite car in our live we didnt be able to buy the cheapst car in the game you cant fix our problem we deleted the game and Im not installing it again your game is trash we like none of your games except driving zone Germany.
Can you please update the damage and put blinkers on and put no ads its not fair why do u need to pay for somthing that is not a big deal for $1. We payed for it. Does not work at all. But the game is cool.
THIS GAME WAS VERY BAD NOT GOOD.
We want multiplayer on this add multiplayer plz (we found secret places).
We downloaded this game and every time we tried to load in it would keep kicking us out.
Every 25 seconds the game would just out of no where stop. Like what!? And also, why.
Cars changing lanes at last min and then switches right in front of us and cost us to crash obviously.
In Japan the cars should be on the opposite side of the road which disappoints us tbh.
It was the best game.Please give some updates to game.add a 3 nd 4 lane highway.please add the new Toyota Corolla,Honda Civic,Vezel,CHR…….all will be very appreciated man……….we personally always admired ur work Nd u can make us love it by adding these things…….looking forward to your reply.
We downloaded Driving Zone Japan hoping the drivers seat would be on the right and to drive on the left side of the street as they do in Japan. But no such luck. Just some stereotypical Japanese scenery.
There's an AE86 from Initial D the anime. It is driving zone: Japan though so that's awesome.
It keeps saying we're not eligible even though we're 12 years old.And the game says you have to be 4+ and we are but it won't let us comment.
That's the best game we've ever played.
More options for better scenic routes that aren't straight with common traffic would be awesome.
It's more realistic (in some way) than any other game we have ever play on our phone we recommend getting it and all the other driving zone games out right now (our favorite is Germany).
All 4 of these driving zones make no sense what do we do just drive around in a car lame.
This game is fun, but please add turn signals and hazard indicators like the Russian Driving Zone game. One funny thing is when we're playing this on a road trip and we turn, our phone tilts and we crash into a house or tree lol. But very fun time killer.
Can you add the cars on the left side please. And put the steering wheel on the other side but not on all the cars thank you great game and since we live in Japan it really looks similar with all the house.
Possible part they do in America, and you put on muscle cars.
Every time we start this game it says Everyplay SDK build has expired please upgrade is this a glitch or something.
Love the game no issues what so ever amazing.
Great game the ai traffic is a little glitchy and the cars aren't branded but it's a good game though.
Thats good game bat we were new cars nisan patrol and GMC yokun and siera.
We want german driving zone mercedes bmw audi porshe ww etc.
We were so excited when we saw there was more than one Driving zone. If you didn't know, this series of games is a laid-back car simulator. We enjoyed the first one for its freedom, hills on the side roads, and smooth running. We were slightly disappointed by this game however. It is somewhat more stiff, and theres no side bumps to go flying off on or anything. Also, the cherry orchard scenery we have found to cause the game to become very choppy. Still fun, but the original was better.
This game could have been made better because every time we play this crashes.
