I may be relocating to Japan in a few months, and perhaps be bringing a dog. 
It is small-medium sized (wont fit in a handbag but could probably fit in a 
backpack - not to say i put her in a backpack....).

Is having a dog (bigger than handbag size) in Tokyo as impractical as I 
think it is? eg dog friendly apartments are hard to fiind, apartments too 
small, no where for dog to run off its lead.

Do any of you have dogs or any experiences you can share? Or even any online 
resources that you know of? I have found  a few forums here and there.

I know there will be a lot of things to do before bringing her over 
(vaccinations, quarantine etc) I am not so concerned about that, more so 
what daily life would be like for both myself and the dog.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Cheers
