Check out this article for a few recommended kits that you can buy online and send back to be tested. This is especially good for when you can't find an English speaking doctor nearby.

Condoms and Lube

You're all adults. Please have safe sex. Men - generally it is your responsibility to get the condom. Ladies - do not trust a man you don't know. Either bring your own condom or buy them with him.

Here's a guide on buying condoms in Japan. Be safe. Even if you (she) is on the pill, always use a condom because STIs are real.

Even if you're in a non-traditional relationship, please use a condom or a dental dam.

コンドーム

Many condoms in Japan are not lubricated. When buying lube to use with condoms, be sure that it is water 水 based. Oil 油 based lube will damage the condom and not good things will follow.

ローション

Dental Dams

These will be a bit harder to find. I would suggest just ordering them online.
