Jordan I can’t begin to explain! I don’t honestly know, I even told them to take my passport and call the “authority” if in two days I don’t pay. They were heartless. They didn’t care! I could not believe it myself. But that’s how it is there, they are no negotiations with Japanese about certain things. I’ve traveled loads and this has never happened to me before… Always read up on country where you are travelling, I know it’s a common sense rule but just be sure to expect the unexpected!
