If Japanese customs think you have contraband and they search you, can they make you take off all your clothes, and if they can, are they able to feel around a man's penis, or require that a man lift up his penis to show he is not tapeing anyting to the bottom of penis?

Yes and I don't wanna know. I just got back from a business trip. In the departure area of terminal 2, there was a huge display of pics from different busts. Basically the airport police was trying to send a warning to everyone who would see the display. The police several photos of people and the busts. Some of the pics shows people with different types of drugs strapped to their bodies. Some where large stashes and some where small dime and nickel size stashes. They all had strapped their controband to their bodies using tape and plastic bags.
As I was waiting for my luggage on my return, there was the same set of photos being flashed on plasma display screens just above the baggage claim carousel. They also showed pics of seach dogs that they use. While sitting there waiting for my luggage, a cop and his search dog walked by everyone. The dog sniffed around all bags and pointed his/her nose at the people waitng around. I have seen German Shepards and little Dauschounds used as sniffer dogs in airports.
I say the dog sniffs you and then they strip you and have you lift your own package. If you refuse, they put you on a plane and send you back. If you are caught, the minimum ban from entry into Japan is 5 years. Ask Mick Jagger about that one.
Maybe you should try out Amsterdam instead of Tokyo.

I was searched once!!! Long long time ago though. Not a "complete" search like the one Joriental is talking about but they opened my carry on bag and started pulling out all my clothes. (the bag was a big one that had a crap load of clothes) They checked every pocket of my pants, every inside pocket of shirts and jackets, they even pulled out every sock and turned it inside out. (This was all done at the customs counter right before the exit to the streets. They didn't take me to another room) They took my cigerettes, pulled out every single one of them and sniffed it. (They then putt everything back in to the package and gave it back to me which I thought was nice of them) They checked every possible place. Seriously. They even told me to take my shoes and socks off and they checked my shoes. By then I was getting scared they were gonna ask me to spread my butt cheeks! And while I'm doing all this, the other people are going past the other customs counter with not even a slight check. I must admit though I was dressed a bit thuggish so I think that was the reason. I wasn't carrying anything so I wasn't scared but people were staring and I was a bit embarrassed. All I can tell you is that they are thorough and they will find what they are looking for. That is IF they search you. I think majority of the people going in do not get searched. Especially if they are Japanese. I was an exception that day. I have seen people from other countries being asked to open their bags though. Haven't seen too many caucasians being searched before. Usually the ones I see being searched are the people with a darker complextion. And leave the drug smuggling to the gangsters dude. You don't want to go to jail in a foreign country. Have you not seen the movies "Red Corner" and "Brokedown Palace"??? The cockroach in the ear was enough to convince me that jail sucked!! Although Japanese jail systems are known to be clean, kept and orderly.

Forget about what they think.. ..it's their job to search and protect they can do whatever the best possible to search suspicious passengers, also .it is everyone's responsibility at the airport, even passengers to report such illegal activity.
.Wuzaracer is right, There is no way you can refuse whatever.
Security dogs are around airports not only in Japan, even other countries have security dogs at the airport vicinity.

Now that would explain why hash costs so much in Japan. It comes in one penis load at a time.

Yeah, dude. No problem. What are you planning to smuggle in, anyway? Please be detailed and include your full name, and planned date of arrival and port of entry.
I've never been searched coming into Japan. but then, I'm not some dumbass stoner trying to smuggle things by strapping them to his (tiny) shaft.
