Your embassy will rarely protect you in cases where you are arrested for a crime under the jurisdiction of Japan and you will have no other choice but to retain a local lawyer.
The laws of Japan do not guarantee you free legal advice at the early stages of arrest. It is ultimately your responsibility to appoint a lawyer of your choice. It is generally advisable to ask for an interpreter if you are not a Japanese speaker.
