Hilton was all smiles when she arrived in Japan on a private jet along with her sister Nicki. Hilton had planned to unveil her fall/winter collection in Tokyo on Wednesday; her collection includes handbags, watches, and her fragrance, Tease.

During the trip, the socialite also planned to open a new Paris Hilton store in Indonesia.

However, upon her arrival in Japan, immigration officials in the country detained Paris for six hours, asking her questions about her recent run-ins with the law.

Hilton's recent woes began on August 26 when authorities in Las Vegas pulled over the Cadillac SUV Hilton and her boyfriend Cy Waits were riding in, claiming they smelled marijuana. After Waits was taken into custody on suspicion of misdemeanor driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, police said they found cocaine in Hilton's purse.

Hilton on Monday received two six-month suspended jail terms in connection with the cocaine incident, as well as $2,000 in fines, 200 hours of community service and mandatory entry into a substance abuse program. Immigration officials at the airport told Jiji news agency that an individual with a suspended jail term needed "special reasons" to enter Japan.
