I'm assuming you will be taking at least some form of prescription medicine , how are you covering that with immigration ?
I have asthma, so I ended up getting a prescription so the pharmacy prescription was still on the box, and put it in my hand luggage, they didn't ask about it though when I declared it, some medicine is banned over there (vicks is a good example!) so just have a look online.
Cheers kidda
Btw Paul this is a great website (japan-guide.com - Japan Travel and Living Guide) it has a sh*t load of information for all of Japan data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7

Well we've bitten the bullet and bought the flights - heading over at the end of March for Easter.
Flying into Osaka for a couple of days then a couple of nights booked at the Kyoto Tower Hotel.
We're planning on heading down to Hiroshima then back to Tokyo and flying from there.
We're a couple 14 yr old and I'm struggling a bit with finding "family rooms" - any hints or tips esp. for Tokyo about where to stay and how much to pay?

Can't help with rooms apart from watch the sizes or you may find your lying on top of each other , there only 2 of is but I've paid up a bit to get a larger room !!!
Do you want quiet or vibrant area to stay in? With regards to how much to pay most hotels over there are clean as hell and you are paying for extra luxurious/space. What date do you land at Osaka?
Vibrant I guess?
We won’t be doing too much in the evenings with a 14yr old in tow but a nice dinner out and some sights to see would be cool.
We arrive in Osaka on Friday 30th of March.
Kyoto is booked 1-4th.

We'll be crossing paths in the sky, I land back in the uk on the 30th,we stayed in Shinjuku in Tokyo plenty of restaurants and things to see, shibuya would be a good shout aswell. We stayed at The Gracerywhich was spot on tbh
