According to the publication "Japanese Guidelines for Non-Clinical Studies
of Drugs Manual 1995" - Guidelines for Toxicity Studies in Drugs, Section
7
- Observation period, the regulation you seek states:

"The present Guidelines call for an observation period of 14 days, during
which period the regression of toxic reactions must be followed by
observation of any changes in clinical signs and body weight".

I hope this answers your question.

Please be aware that all Japanese Pharmaceutical and Medical Device
Regulations are available in English through Interpharm Press, 1358

(pre-clinical) test guidelines.
