should gay people get hospital visitation rights?. Tax breaks? Visa considerations in legitimate relationships?

That's the point of civil unions (which are legal in most of the major Japanese cities).

I'd need a source for that. Afaik civil unions for gay couples are gaining popularity in some municipalities in Japan but I think it's still quite rare. A few of the wards of Tokyo, I think Shinjuku and Setagaya specifically do it. But I don't know of anywhere else that does.

I suspect that they'll be allowed most everywhere presently but again change is slow and it will probably take 5 years or more to really catch on everywhere.

Actually I think some random town in the middle of nowhere Akita has civil unions as well but it's an arts university town so it's not totally surprising.
