I know I will have cursed this but, in Japan (definitely not the case when I lived in London), I have never punctured.

I'd go tubular.
Lighter and nicer rolling on the way up, and carbon tubular rims are a far better idea for descending than cheap/light/carbon clinchers.
Try and Source these locally?

Weather or not you want tubs is Down to Your own experiance.
Puncturing isnt a disaster on tubs. You can usually just empty a can of pitstop into them and carry on. Or on a longer ride carry a spare.
But if you find you puncture frequently. Replacing tubs is far more expensive than replacing inners obviously.
