    I lived in Korea for a while, some time ago. Although I know at the time I could walk into the pharm and buy anything I wanted, Japan was stricter when I visited.
    I really don't know, but I'd be surprised if you could just walk into the pharm without an Rx. Worth checking out though.

    You are not going to walk into a Pharmacy in Japan and get any type of steroids . Even going to a doctor and getting a prescription for any steroids to bring to the pharmacy is going to be very difficult.

    However, Japan has got rules of "for personal use only". You can bring with you anywhere from a reasonable one month to three month supply depending on the steroid . You can find out how much you can bring without a certificate by calling the Ministry of Health here. They will tell you how much HGH, Testosterone or other that you can bring without certificate.

    No, that is not correct. In the US or Australia, you can not possess, import or bring with you. In Thailand or Turkey, you can walk in to any Pharmacy and buy over the counter. In Japan, you can bring with you or import certain amounts per month for your own personal use. If you want more, then you would need to get a certificate from the Ministry of Health in Kasumigaseki Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo.

    Travelers must bring a copy of their doctor's prescription as well as a letter stating the purpose of the drug, if you bring it in with you.

    Better to get it posted to you.

    You will never buy at pharmacy.

    I hear it is illegal to have needles without a prescription, what kind of trouble can you get into if you are caught with needles? Will you be arrested if you try to buy needles online? Or would they just seize them?
