Troublesome immigration procedures

Japan has a troublesome immigration procedure.

I am required to complete three forms, with a lot of detail:

* health check
* immigration
* custom declaration

The officer require ALL the details to be filled in. Their form contain almost twice the detail required by other countries.

They require two copies of the custom declaration form to be completed. I don't understand why.

I wish that the Japanese authorities are more considerate to visitors to their country.
