Got a car?\u00a0 You are going to need gas!\u00a0 This is a basic guide to buying gas in Japan.\u00a0 Most stations around Japan are “full-service,” so the staff will come to you and fill your tank, but you can also find “self-service” stations where you do it all yourself.<\/p>\n
Buying gasoline in Japan is surprisingly easy. You will find both \u201cfull-service\u201d and \u201cself-service\u201d stations available, but at either it will be helpful to know a little vocabulary when you go. There are three types of automotive fuel available, and you can also buy kerosene for heaters and other devices at many stations.<\/p>\n
