Here let me break it down
For a Kanji plate
5 50 500 etc 44000 yen a year flat road tax 2 year JCI (Japanese Compulsory Insurance spelling yea yea) 85000 yen on average
3 30 300 etc 67000 yen a year flat road tax 2 year JCI (Japanese Compulsory Insurance spelling yea yea) 130000 yen on average
New cars come with 3 year JCI but road tax still has to be paid yearly
After a car reaches 10 years old the JCI becomes considerably more expensive
Also it is a PITA to get a car to pass JCI once it has been modded, and if your car has rust that has to be taken care of too.
A lot of Japanese buy a car use it for 3 years and get a new one thanks to their 6% interest on loans!!
