Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: No extreme conditions, cool in winter hot in summer. My only tip is bring all the clothes you think you will need with you, do not assume you can buy it locally. They will either not fit properly or/and will be horribly expensive (compared to Europe/US).
Toiletries & Medical Supplies: Japanese customs officers at the airport can be very tough. Many over the counter remedies such as cold cures, nasal inhalers and decongestants contain prohibited ingredients. Take small amounts of basic products, such as paracetemol and antacid – but don’t worry as with a little effort you can get these locally, though like most things they can be very expensive.
