Anyone have HRT or DIY HRT guidance for someone living in Japan?

Being in Japan has allowed a couple of people to find me, and both are asking how to get started. Best I've got is "speak to your GP or go DIY via the US supply chain and hope to get it past customs"... Neither is a great response.

Please boost for exposure, and if there are Japanese HRT resources for trans women please share. Both are English speaking people living in Japan, I mostly want to help them with finding information.

@dee oof, yeah, everyone I know went through their GP there in Japan, but I haven’t met many transfems there. It seems like it is more accessible in the Tokyo area, as I know JET tends to send trans folks to places near there, but not sure about much more.

Hmmm…I met a Japanese trans woman while I was there last summer, but she doesn’t speak a ton of English. If I put you in contact, would you be able to talk with her and relay info?

@dee the only other thing I can think of is to reach out to LGBT groups and centers. I know Tokyo-based ones help out, so could be an option? I could try to search up stuff in Japanese, but again, most of my network is Tokyo area still. All my friends outside Tokyo are sadly very cis and straight 😅
