Learning to Drive in Japan #1 – Finding a School

I searched online for driving schools near my place, and I found two schools that are rather similar in many aspects. They are School C and School K.

	School C	School K
Price (tax included)	JPY 298,000	JPY 298,000
Distance from Home / Work	6km / 3.3km	6km / 3.4km
Accessible by Public Transportation	No	Yes
Shuttle Bus Service Available	Yes	Yes
Online Theory Lessons Available	Yes	No
Well-known	Very	Average
Google Maps Rating	3.0 (52 reviews)	2.6 (23 reviews)

In my prefecture, School C is the driving school you would go to if you don’t have a particular choice in mind. They have a long history and have been the default choice for the longest time ever. School K was quite unknown and they didn’t score too well on Google Maps, but I figured I should still look into them. Since both schools are very similar, I decided to send an email to both schools, requesting that they send me detailed information by post.
