If the OP would like, we can also link this to the TokyoPC User's Group 
site.  It would help to know how long he'd expect to stay in Japan and 
what areas he'd (he/she/they) be visiting ... and which WIN flavo(u)r 
was running on the laptop.  Also different answers can be given 
depending upon whether the laptop has built-in WiFi, built-in LAN, USB 
and PCMIA Type II or Type III slots on board.  So many options, so 
little time ...
