Johnny Depp and Amber Heard were accompanied by the actor's children Lily-Rose, 14, and 11-year-old Jack, as they arrived for a press tour in the country
Johnny Depp and Amber Heard have fuelled speculation their relationship is getting serious, after jetting into Japan with Johnny's two children.
The pair looked closer than ever as they swept through Narita airport, followed closely by Lily-Rose, 14, and 11-year-old Jack, from Johnny's marriage to Vanessa Paradis.

It's thought Johnny is about to begin a press tour to promote new Disney flick, The Lone Ranger in the country - and decided to take his current squeeze, and kids along for the ride.
Looking completely at home with her loved-one's children, Amber Heard put a protective arm around Johnny's Depp's son Jack as they were greeted by hoards of snappers and fans.
The move marks a new stage in the couple's relationship, which they have so far managed to keep out of the spotlight.
Johnny Depp and Amber Heard's family trip comes as Johnny revealed his children have been ‘incredibly understanding’ about his split from their model mother, Vanessa Paradis.
Last month, Johnny Depp broke his silence on his split with wife of 14 years, Vanessa Paradis, in a revealing interview, telling Rolling Stone that the break-up 'wasn't easy' on any of them.
'It wasn't easy on her. It wasn't easy on me. It wasn't easy on the kids. So, yeah. The trajectory of that relationship – you play it out until it goes, one thing leads to another. So for whatever reason that ceases, it doesn't stop the fact that you care for that person, and they're the mother of your kids, and you'll always know each other, and you're always gonna be in each other's lives because of those kids. You might as well make the best of it.'
'In terms of the breakup, I definitely wasn't going to rely on the drink to ease things or cushion the blow or cushion the situation. Cause that could have been fatal. I felt it was my duty to be real clear throughout that. I had something pretty serious to focus on, really, which was making sure that my kids were gonna be cool.
'They've been incredibly understanding, incredibly strong throughout the whole ordeal. And it's hard on every side. You know, Vanessa's side, certainly not easy. My side, not easy. The kids are the most complicated.
'The thing is, kiddies come first. You can't shield them, because then you'd be lying. So you can at least be honest with your kids, and you say the absolute truth to your child – that was very important to not pussyfoot around.'
