As for fresh water lake, there are some private lakes that you need to buy ticket to fish. other than that no need for license.
If you don't mind me asking how do you ship your kayak overseas? Does it cost a lot? Thanks

I'm an active duty Marine. Government shipped it for me. My fishing equipment was the only thing I was worried about.

Thanks for the info guys. It's all good news. Does anyone know of a website in English that has official laws and regs? Or can someone at least get the correct Japanese website and I can plug and play on a translator. I should be getting on the water within the month. I just need a wagon like a Subaru Forester or similar to car top the yak.
