First 🙂
So no kilts? Very confused…
Great video Nathan! 😊
🧳not packing a toothbrush to safe on space? 😅 not sure about that though 😅
Great information for anyone going to Japan for the first time, or who has already been and wants to fine tune their packing list for the next time. I do wonder though, with Japan having temperatures of 25-35 and sometimes higher, we have them as well in Europe. It doesn't bother us too much to be in 35 degrees coastal France during summer. With you being from the "rock", how do you experience the Japan heat in comparisson to Spanish or other continental heat in Europe?
Thanks for the advice. I'll be in Japan for the first 3 weeks on January. Excited!
That was a fun video. Most hotels have washing machines, so there's no need to bring too many clothes. I like to bring a flexible ID card case with a zipper pocket on a lanyard, for keeping your Suica and/or JR pass and some coins in. If you don't have one, Tokyu Hands and other department stores in Japan sell loads of them and other travel gear, very fun stuff to shop for over there. 🧳
I have to say you've got it in the bag/suitcase/napsack. As to your comments about packing for the weather, I think Japan is like any other country, weather changes, I know, it is shocking. I've been in Japan when local people have said it unusually hot, cold, and rainy for this particular time of the year. But, there's not many places I've been where that is not the case. Also, Japan is a big country and most maps don't give you a true sense of its size so be prepared to layer up or down and have a lightweight waterproof jacket.
🧳Great video and many good advices. I might want to add that people should consider if they need to bring: a JR travel pass … although it might not be worth it anymore. I would definitely also add: a smartphone (you mention it but didn't put it on the list), and of course a camera. Japan is so photogenic. One photographic item to think about is a small table tripod or similar to take pictures in nighttime. The cityscapes are amazing.
Luggage Emoji I had planned to buy all the daily needs (soap, shampoo, ext) minus Deodorant on first day. Glad to know I was thinking the right plan with that. Also I heard starting soon you'll need to reserve the above luggage space on the bullet trains, have you heard anything about this or was that just to scare new travers to Japan.
If you have prescription medication make sure it is allowed and bring a letter from your doctor and originals of your prescription. If you are staying longer than 30 days you need to apply for an "Application for Import Confirmation." You will need to know the active ingredients in your medication.
This is all great advice. Thanks Nathan!

I loved the vid! Pack comfy walking shoes, remember all your documents too. Packing cubes for your case too 😊
🧳 great tips, I like to bring hot sauce packets, plates to share food in hotel room, ziplock bags, wine key/ bottle opener, chip clip or buy one at Daiso, neck pillow. Yes Japanese don’t accept tips but do accept gifts. Go to a bar bring them a local beer or liquor. I bring Hawaii stuff all the time. Thanks for the videos.
I'll be in Tokyo a few days the first week of july, then return for 2 weeks in early august on my way back from the us. I would like to do some gold panning and ghost hunting while i'm there in august. 😀
🧳
🧳Excellent video man!
Yeah some areas in the summer get to like 36° teamed up with high humidity is unbearable compared to other places like Singapore, Hawaii or Bali I noticed are staying at around 30°and even here in Au we get up to 42° but I'd prefer that 😅
Thank goodness for those combinis that have the coin dumping machines 😅
🧳This is good timing- I am going in August (I mentioned this before lol)
I was wondering what clothing is good- luckily I love wearing t shirt and shorts.
Thanks. Agree with your list. Especially helpful and not that commonly noted is the coin purse. I keep forgetting so now I have a collection of Pokemon coin purses. 🧳
Nice Video! Informative 🧳🧳🧳
🧳 I am going to Japan in 2 months for two weeks and im glad this video was made lol
Please don't rely on the PJs provided by Japanese hotels. They aren't really sized for the larger westerner. That said, the Ryokans I have visited have great XL Yukatas, which is excellent. Now, the slippers provided are another matter!
💼
Putting an AirTag / Tile in your suitcase is helpful should the airline misplace it. It's also fun to track when using hotel forwarding 🧳
Brilliant video. Covering everything! 🧳 👏 🇯🇵 Thanks Nathan!
I'm going to Japan in August for first time since 2018. Teacher here so I don't have the luxory of choosing a better time. Still super excited!
🧳
Great advice!
2 questions-
How rainy is the rainy season?
We will be there from June 14-end of month.
Do you know how much over the counter medication is considered a 2 month supply?
I want to bring enough of the right kind and not have to buy if I can avoid it.

🧳 Great video, we are travelling from the UK in October it feels like long sleeve t shirts/shirts then jumper or jacket for evenings will be OK. Just wondered what ATM card you use? We’re bringing Yen as the banks charge so much for withdrawing cash.
