App to make calls in Japan?

I’m from the United States and my phone carrier is Visable. I can’t make any calls to Japan and customer service won’t help (iykik).

Is there an app you recommend to use to make calls to Japan from the US. An app that you can also use inside of Japan to make local calls would be great too. I want to be able to make calls for reservation, hotel, etc.

Thank you!

Bringing 60mg of Alprazolam to Haneda

Bringing medication to Japan is so confusing and after countless hours of research I’m not sure what to do.

- I’m brining 60mg of Alprazolam to Japan in exactly 2 weeks for my 2 week visit. I’m from the US is that matters.

- it’s listed as a controlled substance marked as category P
- I have a doctors note, printed out prescription and the pills are in its original packaged bottle.

- Embassy of Japan website is saying I need to fill out a Yunyu Kalinin-sho application but when I click on the link it gives me a 404 error code

- I emailed the listed email in the embassy website stating I’ll be brining my medication and if I need to fill out any form.

- now I’m seeing a few post from people that if I bring under 72mg I don’t need to submit any forms (I doubt that)

Please my head is spinning and I don’t want to accidentally get arrested when I go over there 🥲 any help or past experience advise would be highly appreciated!!!
