Taking Topical Finasteride/Monoxidil to Japan

Hello! I unfortunately suffer from male pattern baldness and to combat this have started using a finasteride/monoxidil mix since November. It has worked wonders! I'm planning to move to Japan this summer and am not ready to give up using this medication (my hair was sooooo thin before). Anyway, I intend to take some with me to Japan (enough to hold me over until I can get a prescription there), but it appears you need special permission to do that. So, I have some questions:

  1. Has anyone been in this situation before? What did you have to do?
  2. Is it easy to get a prescription for finasteride in Japan?
