I've seen a couple of these things in our place here in Tokyo. I'm not so familiar with Japanese spiders (or spiders in general), so I was wondering if anyone here could identify this little creature.

Thanks!

This might be Hasarius adansoni, a widespread species known for its proclivity to occur indoors - see http://tinyurl.com/yhperfy and http://tinyurl.com/yfv8tfy for images and more information.
