Pinephone regulatory approval in Japan

[FutureBucket]

In practice, many people in Japan buy phones from other countries and use them back in Japan with no real issues; although this is technically wrong. Indeed you can even buy foreign phones on Amazon Japan. As it turns out, I bought my previous smartphone from Amazon Japan and it (Galaxy note 8) is also not certified for use in Japan - despite still being in use here every day! 

こんにちは!

Is their the same restrictions on foreigners visiting Japan? I was in Tokyo for 2 weeks in April 2019 and had no problem using my phone with a data only sim. Now I'm kind of worried if I go back and I bring the PinePhone... will it work or would I need to get a Japanese Phone?
