The Japanese law requires that any individual who uses radio equipment for various operations must file an application and be licensed in advance. Under the provisions of the Japanese law, using the radios that may be permitted without a license in other countries in Japan without notice is not allowed in Japan, and it is forbidden for any foreign party or individual to use a rental radio licensed in Japan. The use of amateur radio equipment is also forbidden.
The use of radios upon any motorsports event in Japan is administered by "Motor Sports Radio Association" (MoSRA). MoSRA is an organization specialized in the administration and control of radio equipment, and its services include the examination of applications and the control of license. All frequencies are monitored at all times throughout the event.
Please note very carefully that any unauthorized use of the radio with no license in Japan will be subject to legal measures.
