Hey guys and girls, just came back from Japan. I have no experience in flying there before, so was a little nervous, but all worked out. Got some nice footage and pics of Akashi Bridge and Kobe.
I cannot comment on the customs and immigration, as they didnt check my bag, but I think its fine. Aparently its forbidden to fly at the beach I was, near Kobe (Suma Beach), but as I didnt see any signs and was far from people, I had no problem.
Also launched from a rooftop in Kobe in the early morning and dusk, and again no problem. Flying at Akashi Bridge was a bit more daunting, as at one point I had a loss of signal due to interference I guess at the top of the bridge, and the Mavic started returning home, luckily just enough to clear the pilons (mental note, set return to home higher than anything you flying around).
