I have read a bunch of information on bringing Prescription Meds into Japan.
I am asking if one needs to bring the following for each Prescription (that is not a Narcotic and meets the quantity requirements) into Japan.
Is below a suggestion or a requirement? From the "Guide to Bringing Medicines Into Japan"
"How to prepare permitted medicine to bring with you?
A copy of the prescription and a doctor’s note of explanation should accompany the medication
when brought with you to Japan.
Medication should be stored in the original bottle – do not store in an unmarked container or
bottle labeled for a separate medication."
