I’m American and travel to Japan frequently. Here are my tips- many electric plugs in Japan don’t have the third ground plug that many 110 v plugs have. If you have the third ground prong you will need an adapter otherwise you won’t be able to plug in. Many hotels have the adapter that you can borrow but I’d bring one just in case. There are many ATM machines but I’m not able to use many of them because they are Japanese bank owned and they have different networks. The only full proof one is in a 7-11 or 7 bank. They are in the airports and all 7-11 convenience stores. If you are not good with chopsticks bring plastic utensils with you just in case. Some restaurants that have foreign tourists may have them but don’t count on it. Practice before you come to Asia. Most hotels don’t have facecloth so bring your own. The hotels have what we would call a scrub cloth but it’s for your body not your face. Every hotel I’ve ever stayed at has a hair dryer you don’t need to bring one. You don’t need slippers every hotel has disposable ones. If you forget toothpaste toothbrush, razor all hotels have them. Oh and most hotels have washing machines and dryers so pack light you can wash clothes to save space.

for the size of luggage while traveling I prefer any carryon on size roller, however for the check in size the perfect size is around 62L or M size. Anything bigger is too obstructive on the trains and hard to carry in taxis. I live in Osaka so many travelers with their oversized luggage is a bit of a problem especially around shin Osaka station.

Thanks for the video Meg! I am horrible with packing, I always bring way to much clothes! I usually don't forget anything essential but if I want to bring back souvenirs I always have to buy a second suitcase in the country that I am in 😅 this upcoming trip to Japan I am going to try really hard not to pack lots of clothes also I got a really nice back pack that can store a lot of things as well 😁 I think Japan weather in October will still be very warm so I wont need heavy clothes 🤭

[amiihearts]

Thank you so much for your great advice as usual!!! Love your videos 😊

A comment from Australia. Try wearing the neck pillow around the other way. Or get a Temu wrap around neck pillow that is a bit like what you would have after a car crash. More supportive when you sleep. And the official Japanese entry site is hopeless and looks like something from the 1990s.

Thank goodness you mentioned medicines! After checking the website of the Japanese government, it seems that I will need to get permission for two of my medications. I'm shocked! I hope I can get approval otherwise my trip will be ruined.

Can you give some ideas of small gifts that people in Japan would like to receive from the U.S.? I have no idea what might be wanted or appreciated, or what would be the appropriate amount of money to spend on these small gifts.

[darthlaurel]

People are more likely to bring Sudafed than maryjane. And that is also not allowed.

[Makanalani]

I enjoyed watching your video and all the wonderful tips. I do have a question regarding medication for example, high blood pressure, diabetes, etc? Are you allowed to travel with your prescribed medication with you?

[weibinglee]

Meg, many thanks for sharing this information. Many people use fake branded goods, including my friends. I have to warn them not to bring their fake LV handbags to Japan.

Question: Can you use VISA card in Japan, including withdrawals?
I saw someone mention that only Mastercard and AmEx work in Japanese establishments and not Visa.

[DuroinJapan]
