Isn't it remarkably inconvenient to lug around so much gear for a vacation?

Anyway I've only visited Japan 4 times, but I've never ever bothered declaring anything (just ticked "no" to all the questions on the main side of the form) even with camera gear in excess of ¥200k when new. Haven't gotten into any problems so far. My reasoning being: The current market value of the gear thanks to old age is below the threshold, therefore no declaration needed :P
