須知事項

For laundry, use a coin laundry or your accommodation's laundry service, as Tokyo's official manners handbook advises.
Large bags can be sent by courier: from Narita, Haneda and Kansai airports to your hotel, and at most major hotels the front desk can arrange delivery to your next one.
There are size and weight limits. Valuables, fragile items, fresh food, liquids and dangerous goods are not accepted.
Coin lockers are found at most stations and tourist facilities, and many take IC transit cards. In busy places they fill up quickly.

You may bring medicine for your own use without paperwork up to a one-month supply of prescription drugs and a two-month supply of other drugs. For more, obtain an import certificate (Yunyu Kakunin-sho) before you leave home.
Medicines containing narcotics or stimulant raw materials fall under separate laws, and some cannot be brought in at all. If in doubt, check the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's guidance.
For minor complaints that do not need a doctor, go to a pharmacy or drugstore.
You can search for hospitals and clinics on the Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO) site. For sudden illness at night or on holidays, go to an emergency hospital. Call 119 for an ambulance.
You pay on the spot. Major hospitals take credit cards, but clinics are often cash only. Ask at reception for a rough estimate of the cost.
Some travel insurance can be bought online after you arrive in Japan.

Private-home lodging (minpaku) is a notification-based system. A notified home must display an official sign. Each home may host guests for up to 180 days a year, and local ordinances can restrict it further.
Under the Inns and Hotels Act there are three kinds of lodging: inns and hotels; simple lodgings such as capsule hotels and youth hostels; and boarding houses let by the month or longer. All operate with a licence from the prefecture or city.

How to sort rubbish, where to put it and on which days are set by each municipality. In general you put it out on the morning of collection day.
Rubbish of the wrong kind, or left outside the designated spot, will not be collected. Some areas require bags designated by the local government.
The Immigration Services Agency's Guidebook on Living and Working covers everyday rules, including rubbish, in many languages.

The Welcome Suica for visitors is valid for only 28 days including the day of purchase. No deposit is needed, but any remaining balance is not refunded. Watch the expiry if you are staying longer.
The Japan Rail Pass comes in 7-, 14- and 21-day versions. Riding Nozomi and Mizuho trains on the Tokaido, Sanyo and Kyushu Shinkansen requires a special ticket on top of the pass.

For nationals of visa-exempt countries and regions entering for a short-term stay, the permitted period depends on the country or region. Check the Ministry of Foreign Affairs list.
How long you may stay and what you may do depend on the status of residence granted on landing. Extending the period or changing status is handled by the Immigration Services Agency.
This site cannot judge anyone's individual visa or status. Always check the official guidance or ask at an official counter.
