Needles & Syringes in Japan

Get a prescription before you go and bring a decent supply with you. Then find a gym with the right people.

Can't you just buy this stuff in Japan on Amazon?

You're not wrong — I hardly ever see Japanese bodybuilders. Good luck on your run. Back in the day the old Stealth method was how people did it.

Amazon follows the laws of each country.

There are laws against buying syringes and needles in Japan? I figured selling them openly would encourage hygiene, and Japan seemed like the kind of place that would support that... odd, learning something new.

Funny thing is Amazon will report purchases to local authorities. AI sucks. Check your Amazon profile — they show purchases. Domestic seizures do happen. Japan never forgets we bombed them after they surrendered. We're fortunate to live in the land of the free.

You're damn right — PROUD AMERICAN!! I'm sick of the whiny assholes always badmouthing our great country.

Sounds like you're being stationed there... 1) use your APO address or 2) buddy up with your platoon/team medic and have the US government supply them through him. Getting gear will be tougher than getting needles.

Bamboo shoots

I know someone living in Japan who said the bodybuilding scene is pretty tiny. Okinawa could be different with so many US military folks around. I'd check out some hardcore gyms and ask people there — I'm sure some local lifters will know where to source them.
