Driving Experience Japan Guide: First steps when you load in
About
OverviewDriving Experience Japan (DEJP) is a Roblox driving and car-collection game set across Japanese-inspired locations, from the busy streets of Kyoto to the quiet countryside of Kameoka and the slopes of Hakusan. You earn money and level up by taking on jobs, then spend those earnings on buying, collecting, and customising domestic Japanese cars. There is no story to finish — you play at your own pace. This guide covers how to get started, how to earn money steadily, how to fix common problems, and how to spend wisely.

First steps when you load in
Step
When you first enter the game, open the garage or vehicle menu and put a car on the map. Before chasing any jobs or spending money, find a quiet road or car park and get comfortable with accelerating, braking, reversing, and turning. Check that the gear display on screen shows D — if it still shows P or N, you will not move forward no matter how hard you press the throttle. Once the car feels natural, open the job menu and try a delivery run so you can learn how the destination marker system works. Hold back some of your starting cash rather than spending it all at once.
- Spawn your car open the garage or vehicle menu and select a car to place on the map.
- Find a quiet spot use an empty road or car park to practise accelerating, braking, and reversing.
- Check the gear display confirm it reads D before you try to drive forward.
- Try a delivery job open the job menu, pick a delivery, and follow the destination marker to learn the flow.
- Keep a cash reserve leave some money unspent so you are not stuck if something goes wrong.
Earning money through jobs
Tips
Jobs are accessed through the briefcase-style button on screen. Delivery runs ask you to reach one destination marker, making them easy to follow while you are still learning the roads. Taxi jobs add a second stage — you pick up a passenger first, then drive to their destination — which is useful for learning the city layout faster. Farming jobs unlock at level 25 in the Kameoka area, so do not stress about reaching them right away. Rewards vary depending on your level, the job type, and the distance, so always check the in-game display for current figures rather than relying on old guides.
- Start with delivery jobs — one destination marker makes them easy to follow from the very beginning.
- Move on to taxi jobs when you are comfortable — the two-stage pickup-and-drop flow teaches you the city quickly.
- Do not rush farming jobs — they unlock at level 25 in Kameoka, and they will still be there when you get there.
- Keep at least one working car at all times — without it you cannot take jobs and your income stops.
- Trust the in-game reward display — figures shown there reflect the current version of the game.
When your car will not move
Check
If pressing the accelerator does nothing, the gear display is the first thing to check. A reading of P or N means the car is not in drive — switch to D and try again. You also cannot control a car from the passenger seat, so make sure you are sitting in the driver's seat. If the car is stuck in a wall or ditch, try reversing and steering out before reaching for a vehicle reset. When a job marker does not register your arrival, check that you are using the correct vehicle and that the whole car body is inside the marker zone. If none of that helps, cancel the job and pick it up again.
- Gear is on P or N switch to D before pressing the accelerator.
- Sitting in the wrong seat move to the driver's seat and try again.
- Car is stuck reverse and steer out first; use vehicle reset only if that fails.
- Job marker not registering confirm you have the right vehicle and that the car is fully inside the marker.
- Job still not progressing cancel it and select it again from the job menu.
Choosing and buying your first car
Table
The streets in Kyoto's city area are busy and twisty, so a car that brakes reliably and turns in a short space will get you through delivery and taxi jobs faster than a car that just goes fast in a straight line. Before you buy anything, check whether it requires in-game cash, a game pass, a limited bundle, or a lucky box — some cars that appear in the dealer cannot be bought with regular money alone. Use your free lucky box spins first and save paid spins for when your finances are comfortable. Set a purchase target slightly above the car's price so you are not left with nothing afterwards.
| Braking and maneuverability | the priority for Kyoto streets and early delivery runs. |
| Purchase condition | always confirm whether the car costs cash, a game pass, a bundle, or a lucky box. |
| Lucky box strategy | free spins first; paid spins only when you have money to spare. |
| Savings buffer | buy when you have more than the price, not exactly the price. |
Maps and what each area offers
Summary
The game currently has three main areas to explore. Kyoto city is dense and road-heavy, making it the best place to practise driving and run early jobs. Kameoka is the wider, more relaxed countryside area where farming jobs open up once you reach level 25. Hakusan gained Race Touge Events in the V1.3 update, giving you a dedicated space for more intense driving. The V1.3 update also expanded the Kameoka map and added 116 new cars on top of what was already available. If an older video shows roads or buildings in different places, follow the current in-game map instead.
- Kyoto city dense urban roads, great for delivery and taxi jobs.
- Kameoka countryside wider and quieter, home to farming jobs from level 25 onward.
- Hakusan mountain area with Race Touge Events added in V1.3.
- Car selection ranges from everyday domestic cars to rare vehicles, with 116 more added in V1.3.
Redeem codes
StepThe game distributes codes that you can exchange for rewards such as banner prizes. You enter them through the code input screen inside the game's menu. Each code can only be used once per account, so entering it a second time will not get you anything extra. Some codes have expiry dates, meaning they stop working after a certain point. The developer's official announcements and the game's follow feature are where new codes are shared.
- Open the code screen find the code input field inside the in-game menu.
- Enter the code exactly one character wrong and it will not work.
- Claim your reward confirm the reward appears before closing the screen.
- Remember the one-use limit each code works once per account, no matter how many times you type it.
- Act quickly codes with expiry dates stop working without warning.

Staying safe while you play
WarnPublic servers show chat from players you do not know, so be careful about what you share. You do not need any external scripts, modded tools, or third-party sites to earn money or cars in this game. If you want to spend Robux on game passes, bundles, or lucky boxes, check with a parent or guardian first.

Common questions
FAQWhat do you actually do in this game?
You drive around Japanese-inspired locations, take on jobs to earn money and gain levels, and use that money to buy and collect cars. There is no story to complete — you set your own goals, whether that is finishing jobs, exploring new areas, or building up a car collection. The game keeps growing through updates, so there is regularly something new to find.
Can I play without spending Robux?
Yes — the core driving and job systems are fully playable without spending anything. Redeeming codes gives you extra rewards on top of what you earn in-game. Some cars, game passes, and limited bundles do require Robux, so always check the purchase condition before assuming a car is buyable with regular in-game cash.
Why can I see a car in the dealer but not buy it?
Some cars require a game pass, a limited bundle, or a lucky box rather than standard in-game money. Check the details near the purchase button to find out exactly what the car needs. If it requires Robux, talk to a parent or guardian before proceeding.
What does a server shutdown mean?
A server shutdown in DEJP signals that an update or maintenance period is underway. Wait a short while and then re-enter the game — it should be back up once the process is finished. It does not mean the game has been removed.
How do I play on a phone or tablet?
On-screen buttons handle the pedals, steering, and gear changes, so no extra hardware is needed.
