- What do you need to pack for a trip to Japan? I think there are 8 essential items you should put on your packing list, or you can easily pick them up at the 100 yen shop after you've arrived. With some of these things, you won't realise they are essential until after you've got here, but if you have them, you'll make your travels so much smoother.

I watched so many videos before my trip to Japan. I watched this one and now while I'm here I'm watching it again. This is by far the best video! I cannot say enough how good this list is! Bring LOTS of yen and a be prepared to carry trash with you. This video will help you so much!
Thank you, you're very kind to say so. Hope you're having a ton of fun!
Some great tips in this video. Thank you. I would also add that packing some very small bin liners to put your rubbish in until you find a bin is a good idea. Also, soap is often not provided in public toilets, so keep a small bar from the hotel in your bag. An umbrella is handy all seasons to shield you from the rain and hot sun.
Yes, I had the soap and umbrella in my previous packing video, though personally I don't carry bin liners because I just eat on the train or at the convenience store, where there are always bins handy. Good share!
YEs. Each of these is a good suggestion.
Yay, thank you!
great tip on the shoelaces! i never knew such a product existed!!
Thanks!
I know it is such a serious subject but the airhorn on the whistle made me die laughing 😂😂😂
Glad to hear that someone noticed...
On the clining side, i don't know if it was because i come here during the COVID (march 2023) but when i went to the public WC, nearly all the time, i couldn't find something to dry my hand after washing them.
So i suggest to buy a little towel for that. It can also serve as a napkin substitute and as mentionned in the video, you will need something in that departement.
Yes, I put that in a previous packing video! It's a good thing to bring or pick up at the Daiso. Soap is (thankfully) more commonplace now, but driers/towels less so.
It wasn’t Covid, Japan seldom has hand drying paper or dryers, that’s why most Japanese army their own hand towels.Its a great idea and one I use now in the US. Many souvenir shops and other shops sell them.
Thank you very much with the business card case. I paid only 12€ for 4 cases and it is very important if it rains a lot like the last week. Glad the JR Pass with the QR-Code is safe.👍
Glad it helped!
Many other people mentioned already but ones missing from this list are a small towel for drying your hands and little container of paper soap because some public washrooms won't be well equipped. Also good walking shoes especially if you are a tall girl like me you're not likely to find your size, that goes for socks too! Bag for trash as well as a portable battery bank to keep your phone powered for picture taking and maps. Also if you want to collect train stamps having a little blank notebook is also nice.
Not missing, I just covered most of these before in the previous video linked in the pinned comment. Can you not get socks in your size from Uniqlo? All my shoes I get online here, so I know all too well the size problems for tall folks.
@@japanunravelled Ah sorry I'll check out that video 😖. Not sure about Uniqlo but I've only seen one pair of mens socks that could fit me from Family Mart lol.
Definitely give uniqlo a go. I've got 30cm size feet, but they fit me. An enormous range of colours too.
All great tips.
My personal addition would be a portal stool. Not a full chair, but something small which collapses and can be stowed away in a backpack. Seating is at a premium in Japan and there is a lot of walking to be done.
Thanks! Yes, thinking about it, there are lots of times when a stool would have come in very handy. Thanks for sharing.
I'd add one extra bag to carry your trash. Japan is a very weird place because you got to separate trash and they don't have public trash bin. So, any trash you produce away from the shop, is yours to handle. I'm talking about tissue paper, empty packages, these sorts of things.
Suica cards work through your wallet. You don't need to take it out of the wallet. Just pass your wallet over the reader on the gate.
Yes, I put this tip in my Suica video. Many people may not want to keep their wallets out all the time though, hence this tip.
I wish I saw that last year 😂 shit was so annoying taking it out over and over
Wow those shoe magnets are ingenious. We will be visiting for the first time this year. I will be watching your other videos. I believe you can use the Suica Card on your phone now as well?
Only if you've got an iPhone! Enjoy!
I did figure out quickly not to just jam my rail tickets into my pocket. When I wasn't actively feeding it through gates to put it in my wallet. I snapped photos of them so I could refer to the photo for my ride details instead of pulling the ticket out of my wallet. I bought my Skyliner ticket the day before I left and that went into my wallet as well.
This is a great idea! Another option I've tried is booking the exact same car and seat if I'm using multiple shinkansen/trains. Good if you book ahead.
I know Daiso. What was the name of the other store mentioned? I didn't quite catch it .
Seria!
Are there many bear attacks in Kyoto? I heard of boars in that area, would the bell work on them?
Rare, although one woman was attacked up Mount Hiei last summer according to this page: nonta55.com/2023/11/13/kyoto-bear/
Not sure about the boar! Stay safe!
‘Big earthquakes overdue’ :/ horrible to see the news in the past few days…
I was editing this when the news came in. And the recent earthquake isn't even one of the big ones overdue.
@@japanunravelled that’s even scarier to think!
