Can somebody tell me the differences between this and Gastrochilus japonica? We just awarded one two days ago, and it looks almost identical to this photo. Are they synonyms?

No they aren't synonyms. And correctly they are spelled dasypogon and japonicus. I have some literature about Gastrochilus. I can scan some pages for you, if you want.
Great little plant, fantastic picture. I've got a somai that blasted and now is sending out two spikes. Guess the blast was to my favor!! You really should save this for the calendar.

So you are going to have flowers after all? Great!
I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)
