Hi.
Why don’t you try this?
スカイナー鼻炎N http://www.eisai.co.jp/products/skainar-n.html
This is sinus medicine, but it’s antihistamine drug, so it will be effective against itchy eyes too.
When you can take capsules, this seems to be good for you.
It costs about 1600 yen.( Depends on the store).
May cause drowsiness.

If you need eye drops, (Don’t you wear contacts lenses?) , how about this?

When you need more help, please PM me.

Yeah it sounds like you have allergies due to kafun (cedar pollen). If it is severe, your best bet is to consult a doctor.

Two other helpful tips are to wear a mask, and also to brush off your clothes before entering the house to get all the pollen off.
