This website says all they require for an in-person delivery is your signature/hanko, but I'm not sure if that's common practice in Japan or not. The Japan Post website has this list of accepted IDs, which includes passport, special permanent residence card, foreigner registration card, etc. etc.

Also on the Japan Post site, this page has a bunch of different ways to get a package that's being held at the post office. There's even a phone number for English speakers! If you want to pick it up at the post office, it looks like all you need is an ID with your name and current address on it, but you have to call them beforehand to tell them you want to pick up your stuff. There's also this page that lets you fill out a redelivery form online, so you can schedule it for a day when you know you'll be at home.

Oh cool, thanks a ton!! So it really shouldn't be a problem! /wipes sweat

Sweden doesn't have such things as being able to decide when your package is re-delivered... damn convenient country, Japan. Now I guess I just have to ask the school when would be a good time to have stuff delivered (=me not being at school all day for orientation or classes; the dorms are like an hour away from the school), I'll do that after they respond to the Email I sent last night saying I bought the plane tickets / won't be renting bedding.

I really wanted to fly via Japan Airlines (Japanese on the plane? Japanese food???) but I picked the same flight as the other exchange student so... Finnish airlines.... sigh!!!! !!! !!!
