## What you can check here

- What can I bring to Japan?: 143 things travellers ask about, answered twice: can it go on the plane, and can it come into Japan. The two are decided by different people at different counters, and plenty of items pass one and fail the other. — https://japan-japan.com/bring/
- Baggage rules for every airline flying to Japan: What 17 airlines flying to and within Japan actually allow: the size and weight of your cabin bag, how many pieces you get, what a checked bag costs, and the wording on each airline's own page. — https://japan-japan.com/airlines/
- Getting into the city from 32 Japanese airports: How to get out of 32 Japanese airports and into the city: the train, the bus and the taxi, what each costs where the operator publishes it, where to leave a bag, where to buy a SIM, and what happens between the plane … — https://japan-japan.com/airports/

## Questions this site answers with a number

- Can I bring a power bank to Japan? Yes, in your hand baggage only — never in checked baggage. Up to 100Wh is fine and most airlines allow two. Between 100Wh and 160Wh the limit is two per person. Over 160Wh it cannot be carried at all. Since 2026 Japanese airlines also ask you to keep it in … — https://japan-japan.com/bring/
- Can I bring food into Japan? Packaged food without meat is generally fine. Anything containing meat is banned, including a ham sandwich, a pork bun or beef jerky, however it is packed and wherever it was bought. Most fresh fruit and vegetables are banned too. Bringing them in without d… — https://japan-japan.com/bring/
- How much alcohol can I bring into Japan? Three bottles per adult duty free, where a bottle counts as about 760cc. On the plane itself, drinks up to 24% alcohol have no limit, drinks between 24% and 70% are capped at 5 litres, and anything over 70% cannot be carried. You must be 20 or over. — https://japan-japan.com/bring/
- Can I take my medicine to Japan? Most medicines, yes — up to a two-month supply over the counter or one month on prescription, in the original packaging. But medicines containing pseudoephedrine, such as some Sudafed products, and stimulants such as Adderall are prohibited outright, even w… — https://japan-japan.com/bring/
- Can I bring scissors or a knife in my hand luggage? Scissors with a blade shorter than 6cm are usually accepted. Knives of any kind are not — they go in checked baggage. Once you land, carrying a blade over 6cm in public without a good reason is an offence under Japanese law, so if you buy a kitchen knife he… — https://japan-japan.com/bring/
- How many lighters can I take on a plane in Japan? One per person, carried on your body rather than in a bag. Matches are not allowed at all, in the cabin or the hold — that is stricter than some countries, where a book of safety matches is permitted. — https://japan-japan.com/bring/
- Are liquids limited on domestic flights in Japan? No. Domestic flights within Japan have no liquid limit, so you can take a full water bottle through security. The 100ml rule applies only to international flights. — https://japan-japan.com/bring/
- What happens if I declare something that turns out to be banned? It is taken from you and destroyed, and that is the end of it. There is no penalty for declaring. The penalties apply to people who bring banned items through without declaring them. — https://japan-japan.com/bring/
- What is the carry-on limit for flights in Japan? Japanese full-service carriers — JAL, ANA, Skymark, Solaseed, StarFlyer and AIRDO — all allow 115cm total across three sides, within 55 × 40 × 25cm, and 10kg across both pieces. Low-cost carriers allow the same size but only 7kg. — https://japan-japan.com/airlines/
- How many bags can I take into the cabin? One bag plus one personal item on every airline listed here. The personal item has to fit under the seat in front of you, and from 1 July 2026 ANA and Solaseed cap it at 40 × 30 × 20cm. — https://japan-japan.com/airlines/
- Is checked baggage free on Japanese airlines? On JAL, ANA, Skymark, Solaseed, StarFlyer and AIRDO, yes — typically two pieces of 23kg in Economy, though Skymark counts 20kg per person rather than per piece. On Peach, Jetstar Japan and ZIPAIR you buy it separately. — https://japan-japan.com/airlines/
- Can I put a power bank in my checked bag? No. Every airline flying to or within Japan refuses power banks and spare lithium batteries in checked baggage. They travel in the cabin, and from 2026 Japanese carriers also ask you to keep them in sight during the flight. — https://japan-japan.com/airlines/
- What happens if my bag is over the weight limit? Full-service carriers charge per piece: ANA and AIRDO charge 1,100 yen from 23kg to 32kg, JAL charges 10,000 yen on international routes, Delta charges 100 US dollars. Low-cost carriers charge excess at the airport, which is the most expensive way to buy an… — https://japan-japan.com/airlines/
- Do the rules change between domestic and international flights? The cabin size and weight stay the same on Japanese carriers. What changes is the liquid rule — international flights cap each container at 100ml, domestic flights within Japan have no liquid limit — and the free checked allowance, which is often larger on … — https://japan-japan.com/airlines/
- What is the cheapest way from the airport into the city in Japan? Almost always the local train or the ordinary route bus rather than the express. At Haneda the monorail to Hamamatsucho is 520 yen; at Matsuyama the route bus into town is 530 yen against 1,000 yen for the limousine bus. The express costs more and saves ten… — https://japan-japan.com/airports/
- Can I send my suitcase from the airport to my hotel in Japan? Yes. Yamato Transport runs courier counters at 16 of these airports, and the bag reaches most of the country the next day. Narita and Haneda also run a same-day service to hotels in central Tokyo if you drop the bag off before late morning. — https://japan-japan.com/airports/
- How much does a coin locker cost at a Japanese airport? Between 200 and 600 yen a day for a small one and up to 1,500 yen for the largest, depending on the airport. Check how the day is counted — at Narita it ends at midnight rather than 24 hours after you start. — https://japan-japan.com/airports/
- Where do I buy a SIM card at a Japanese airport? At the rental counters in the arrivals hall at the larger airports: Narita, Haneda, Kansai, Chubu, New Chitose, Fukuoka and Naha all have them. Smaller airports may have only a vending machine, so buy an eSIM before you fly if you are landing at one of those. — https://japan-japan.com/airports/
- What is the order of arrival procedures in Japan? Quarantine, then immigration, then baggage claim, then animal and plant quarantine, then customs. The animal and plant check comes before customs, not after — if you are carrying meat, fruit or plants you go to that counter first. — https://japan-japan.com/airports/
- How long should I allow to connect from an international to a domestic flight in Japan? You clear immigration and customs at the first airport you land in, so the connection has to cover that queue as well as the transfer. At Haneda the international and domestic terminals are a free shuttle bus apart; at Fukuoka the bus takes about 10 minutes… — https://japan-japan.com/airports/
- Do Japanese airports have free Wi-Fi? Yes, all of the airports here have free Wi-Fi in the terminal. It stops at the terminal door, though, so you still need a SIM, an eSIM or a rented router for the rest of the trip. — https://japan-japan.com/airports/
