Luggage And Bags: Pack as light as possible because it is a real inconvenience if you have too much luggage, especially in Japan.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Always take an umbrella because in Japan it can rain at anytime.
Toiletries & Medical Supplies: If you are staying at a hotel, you don't need to pack certain toiletries because they provide a toothbrush, shaving items, shampoo, etc. I guess they do this for the traveling Japanese businessman since he has to travel light. He can't be carrying too much luggage since the main mode of transportation in Tokyo is the train/subways.
Photo Equipment: I took a 35mm SLR and a digital mini-DV video camera. I'm glad I had both a still and a video camera because some things translate better in motion with video and some things just look better in a photograph. If you have a good digital video camera that takes good still photographs, then you're set!
