Maybe

How would you know they're more professional if you don't even know if they exist?

When I purchased a suitcase, I noticed a keyhole and apparently that key is in the custody of airport authorities.

does anyone know?

umm, what?

I flew into and out of Narita in 2015. On the way in, the guy at passport control took my fingerprint, my photograph, scanned my passport, and asked me how long I would be staying. He was neither particularly polite nor impolite. He seemed bored. At customs, I interacted briefly with a friendly old guy. He unzipped my backpack and looked inside for a moment, then waived me on.

On the way out of the country, it was the standard x-ray machine for my bags and walking through a metal detector. I don't remember for sure, but I think I didn't have to take off my belt and shoes like you do here. After getting through security, the only weird thing was that there was some kind of plainclothes American spook at the gate who was scrutinizing everybody's passport. He didn't say who he was. He had an ID badge hanging from a lanyard around his neck, but it was turned around so you couldn't see his name or what agency he worked for. He was kinda rude. Looked ex-military and like he'd seen some shit.

Yes it's called the Japanese FBI. They all have samurai swords and sunglasses and earpieces.

If you bring drugs into the country they'll kill you on the spot. Don't fuck around with the Japanese FBI!

okay, so it is Americans who are ass holes. as for your trip was it fun average etc and what would you say are nice out-of-the-way spots to visit.

Yes they do. It's customs. They check your luggage and on the flight you have fill out a form declaring certain items. If you're military though this is largely avoided. Hand the form show I.D. and they check to make sure the pic matches and they wave you through.

also, will they bother me if I have 8100 dollars on me?

There is a money limit. I don't remember what it is. I think it $2k. You could check for the form online. So if it's 8k they would question you. Maybe confiscate it.

I had fun. The country is very clean and safe. It's pretty easy to get around the country on the train system, although in more rural areas, there's less signage in English, so that can be frustrating. I spent almost all my time on Kyushu. If you want out-of-the-way, I'd recommend finding a nice traditional ryokan. I stayed at one and did the whole onsen and strolling around the grounds in yukata thing. Great food, too.

In Japan? You're supposed to have that much cash, especially if you don't live there.

They wear rubber gloves and weigh each of your breasts if you're fat and make you bounce up and down on the stool. In the next scene he is hotdogging your bum but for some reason when you look back it's all pixelated down there and you think to yourself that Japan is weird.

Nah you can exchange money at any hotel or bank. Also you can withdraw yen from atms. They were asking you can bring cash through the airport.

so what they said said was a lie?
because I don't need my money taken from me I want to spend at least 28 days there visiting a few cities buying figs and such

I've been to Japan a bunch of times it's just standard maybe you'll get your gear swabed for drugs and they ask if you do drugs but that's only because I look like a junkie it's happened in other countries too. USA is by far the worst and most illogical security but I wouldn't expect anything different from that total shit hole of a nation lol.

>Amounts equivalent to ¥1,000,000 or above subject to declaration
travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/International-Travel-Country-Information-Pages/Japan.html
That's about $7,700, so you would have to declare it.

No I was the one who said you can bring cash through customs but there is a limit to what you can bring. Look up what it is so you don't get hassled. You can also get turn whatever your countries currency is into yen at any hotel they go off the daily exchange rate. I may be wrong on the ATMs though IDK if you can use any credit card. I was in the military so I used the ATMs on base. Those had US and Yen you could withdraw.

There you go

Yeah for the normal/small luggage locks there's a master key that all tsa have. The manufacturers make it that way now. This way the tsa don't have to cut your lock to get inside. True story.

Japan is not america just because you want them strict doesn’t mean it’s gonna happen

so if i stay at 7,000 I'm good? and don't have to declare it?

I took about ¥50,000 with me when I went. When I needed more money, I just went to the post office and withdrew it from the ATM. I paid for hotels with my credit card. It's not Afghanistan; there's really no reason to carry around a huge amount of cash.

Depends on the daily exchange rate. If you leave and it's below 1 mil and land and it's above 1 mil then you got a problem. You could just get 1 mil yen from your local bank. They should be able to give you any currency you ask for.

okay the reason i asked because atm yen is about 130.60 for every USD so I was hoping to cash in and get the most out of my investment so I can buy figs and such

IDK if you'll be able to bring them back. Agricultural items are tricky some get through customs some get confiscated.

You would want to double check that Japan hasn't changed the rules drastically or that the exchange rate hasn't changed significantly when you're about to leave, but as of today, yes, you can take 7,000USD into Japan without declaring it to customs.

I'd be surprised if he's not talking about animu and mango figurines.

Notice how OP said “if so”. Meaning IF Japan has a TSA equivalent, are they more professional. You fucking mongoloid. If no, Japan does not have a TSA equivalent, then the question ends there you brain dead mouth breather. If yes, Japan does have a TSA equivalent, then go on too question two.
Your genes need to end with you

not figs I mean anime figures

K you'll be fine then. You should also pick up a bottle Habusaki when you're there. It's a bottle of Saki with the Habu snake in it. Even if you don't drink it it still looks cool.

Fuck sake user, you must b a yank

Of course I am lol.

They also have a plum wine with a huge wasp in it if that's more your style.

>habu sake
I'm guessing TSA isn't going to like that one bit.

Nah you can get it at the airport they don't mind a bottle.

Why doesn't TSA hire some of the "single mothers" down at the strip club to be agents?
Then I wouldn't mind being pulled aside for "enhanced feeling-up".

Can I bring back snake wine or habu sake from Asia?

While all imports of alcoholic beverages are subject to certain restrictions, snake wine is also subject to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) regulations.

The main concern for bringing snake wine into the U.S. when a snake used in the wine that are endangered species, and therefore inadmissible.

The wine would have to be inspected by an FWS specialist to determine if the snake was an endangered species. If a FWS inspector is not available, the wine would be detained until it can be inspected, and you would be responsible for making arrangements for its forward shipment if the snake were not an endangered species.

This is an old map of places I want to visit there, tell me what you think and if there are other places I should look into. Note I'm trying to keep my stay there under 27/28 days

If you can buy it at the airport I'm sure you can bring it back. I came back in 2004. I didn't have any problems. Sure things change but I doubt it will be an issue.

It's 95,000 yen or around $95 when I bought it. Even if they take it you're not out very much money.

if you know other good spots please tell me anons

okay well ty anons, have a good one

I've been to Narita and Kansai airport many times and I've had many Japanese girlfriends. meanwhile, Chinese incels have never had that in their entire lives and never will. I'm sorry, but Japanese girls hate the Chinese.

Plus you can buy those online and have access to all sorts of stuff

Japan is worse. If you go through customs with a gram of marijuana they’ll detain you until you confess to the crime then deport you and tell you never to come back.

I was stationed in Yokosuka and Sasebo. If you want to avoid sailors stay clear of both spots.

Also the Sasebo sailors go to Fukuoka sometimes it's on your route in the bottom pic.

oh one other thing I forgot to ask, if I buy my jr rail pass now can I activate it anytime when I am there

do they pick fights all the time?

that the train that takes you you from one airport to the other? know you can buy them at the airport.

No but some people don't like the military. Though I did get into a few scraps. Mostly with Marines though and they are Okinawa.

roger, ty

If you're up for it prostitution is all over the place. As far as I know it's legal. I went to a blowjob bar is Sasebo. I got a massage where a woman washed me then rubbed oil all over me with her tits and then massaged my whole body then fucked me up in Yokosuka. Hinodecho has a red light district with women from all over the world. Not that you'll need it probably easy to pick up women.

Not sure why the US has this obsession with trying to make every occupation something special. TSA, certified forklift driver, bring good examples. People actually think they’re someone as a TSA, it’s laughable

I thank you all for your help.

>certified forklift driver
You ever operate a forklift? A fuckup on a forklift can take out an entire warehouse.

why do Americans hire low iq for security

This other user thinks he can drive a forklift with no experience what an asshole
