I don't think that 'allowance' is the right question. Their are lot of operators who are banning tethering/hotspot use in their T&Cs. But this doesn't have any consequences. Technically, it's hard to distinguish tethered data from non-tethered.

What kind of punishment do you expect for tethering? 10 years of imprisonment? Remember, you are on prepaid. The worst case scenario is that they'll shut you off. That's all. Actually, I don't think they are going to be so cruel in Japan......

So that's why we don't mention here what is allowed or not :-) We mention it if we have understood that users had trouble tethering from their devices because the operator blocks, sniffs or filters or whatever. And in Japan we haven't heard anything like this so far.
