Hi, I'm planning on doing a bike tour in Japan, and I'm wondering what stove I should get that can use fuels over there. I have no idea what brands I can get over there, and I can't take fuels on the plane, and I don't really want to buy one over there. I'd like one that can use both american and japanese fuels. I'm completely lost here so some advice would really help, thanks!

Snow Peak is a Japanese company that sells stoves and cookware in the US and elsewhere in the world. Their stoves accept the same threaded cartridges that the MSR Pocket Rocket and similar stoves use. So you could probably use a Pocket Rocket if you already have one.
