Depends on the content of that inhaler. Many... you cant.
For certain people on certain necessary and non-substitutable drugs... you are SOL getting into Japan legally.
Our cardiologist... who is native Japanese.... was absolutely ASTOUNDED when she heard about all this crap. She was amazed that it is so complicated. She thought filling out the paperwork was rediculous.... but she did it for us.
And you DO need SIGNED copied of all of your presectiptions with you for stuff that you do not need a Yakkan Shoumei for (as well as for those also). Simple computer readouts of a listing of the drugs you are on is not enough. It has to be a prescription form, and has to have the Doctors signatuire on it for each drug.
best,
