I’m 29, never left the country. My bucket list is visiting Japan at the very top. I have no idea what you do or if you have to go through travel agencies, how much money you should bring etc

    Many places including Japan allow foreigners to register and bring a reasonable supply (3 months or so?) of most drugs that are illegal there but legal in their home country with a valid prescription (most of Europe and North America, Japan & Singapore all do), and the places that don’t let you register them to bring them legally often let you bribe your way out even if you are discovered with them (eg Uzbekistan/Uganda/whatever)

      I went digging and found this page from the Japanese Ministry of Health.

      Turns out we’re both half right! Adderall “cannot be imported into Japan, even for treatment purposes” but Vyvanse and some other ADHD stimulants can be if you apply for an exception in advance.

      I looked into only taking insulin there and apparently you need to get a 30 day permit before arrival.
