Japan Trip Packing: 7 Things to Bring

What should you pack when visiting Japan? I think there are 7 essential items for a Japan trip that you should definitely put on your packing list, or remember to buy once you arrive in the country. Some of these items are really not obvious as necessary until you get here, but if you have them, you'll be travelling like a local.

Are there any other items you think are essential for a Japan trip? Let me know!

Bring napkins. I’ve been to Japan 4 times, and going again soon, and napkins are a rare commodity. You always get the oshibori wet towel, but often that’s it.

When I was in Tokyo, I was given on the streets tons of small " tissue" packs.They came with a marketing purpose trying to sell thier products. Very handy! I also bought some wet wipes and masks!

I recommend bring the travel adapter for charging electronic gadgets. And the power should be dual voltage since Japan has 100V

Thanks for your packing tips. We watched this video before we left for our trip to Japan and this was super helpful.

I decided to not bring umbrella, yesterday taught me otherwise. Sleeping with a mask is normal but 2-3am sleep time is also normal. My phone still has easy user replaced battery. I had to buy a pack of alcohol wipes to deal with those situations.

the small hand towel is a great suggstion. Thanks!

I was going to ask if the power outlets are compatible with western power outlets, but then I realized I'm not sure if UK and US outlets are the same. So it might be a bad question to ask, coming from the US. Was looking at adapters.

“Going to the convince store when you’ve just got off the plane and are super jet lagged is no fun at all.”

I’m going to have to strongly disagree with that one. 😅

[Khriz]

should i buy an adapter for the power outlet ? i heard they’re different from the US

[ralphou]

can we regularly get heat pack @ even conbini (convenience stores)?

[tobythegreat]

How much is japan’s power voltage? 110v or 220v?

[alinaradu]

Deodorant!🥲 also, i didn't like the toothpaste there, i found it very minty. so now I bring my own everywhere I go, but maybe that's just me

[sufamidan]

Hello, do you have a recommendation for multi usb outlet? Wanna make sure i have right one. I need to charge a power bank, samsung phone and ipad.

[johnmactavish]

Highly recommend Nitecore NB20000 power bank.

Doesn’t Japan have umbrellas everywhere? People borrow them and take them back no?

[jkayrichardson]

Japan has more rain than Britain? And here i thought id be escaping to somewhere dryer. Ive subscribed in the hope to get more useful tips for my upcoming trip
