What Should You Carry With You While Traveling In Japan

What should you carry with you while traveling in Japan might include your passport.

I prefer to carry my passport on my person, yet safely guarded. If something happens and there’s some type of emergency, you will want to have your passport.

When it’s hot, wear a hat, and do put on suntan lotion. Remember to stay hydrated, as you will be walking and standing for exponentially longer times than usually.

A Yeti type hot and cold thermos is ideal, because you can put ice in it, and just add water throughout the day, and it will still be cold. There are also amazing thermoses all over Japan, if you do not bring your own. I prefer the one’s from Japan. Right now, we have several Zojirushi Travel Mugs in the house. They ones from Japan pretty stay the same temperature inside for about 20 hours.

As a diabetic, I typically travel with snacks and nuts for emergencies, but once you started experimenting with the Japanese foods and snacks and learn what’s tasty to your own person palette, I found myself buying snacks and treats far too often.

Know your limits. Pace yourself. You can’t do see it all. Come up with a plan, but it’s ok to experience the day organically and stick to the plan as a backup. There are things to do and see that you don’t even know you want to do and see yet.

Wear comfortable walking shoes made for long hours. I personally prefer to wear running shoes. Nike is my favorite. I buy the Air anything. On my second trip to Japan, I was wearing a pair of Nike Mens Air Zoom Pegasus. I find that with my Nikes, I can stand on my feet all day with my feet never hurting, even though my back and legs may hurt, but my feet never do.

Use a good travel backpack or hiking daypack. You will be walking for long hours. I do not recommend shoulder bags, but actually backpacks for both men and women.

Initially I wanted to bring a very tiny backpack, but inevitable, while you’re out, you might pick up some souvenirs, gifts, food, water, etc. and will realize it’s much easier to carry in a backpack than in your hands for the next 6 hours.

Somewhere between a 20L to 30L pack would be ideal, but start your day with the pack nearly empty. I actually bought a Pacsafe Venturesafe X30 travel daypack the day after returning from my second trip to Japan, so I would have it for my next trip.

I also bought a Pacsafe Metrosafe LS150 Sling Backpack for cruises and other trips where I won’t be carrying more in my pack or wearing a pack all day.

Travel with a handkerchief or small towel in your pocket. There are many subway stations and restrooms at random that do not have paper towels or hand dryers. Everyone in Japan knows to walk around with a small towel or handkerchief in your pocket.

Reserve an unlimited minutes Premium Pocket Wi-Fi Device online that you can pickup in the airport post office and ship back at the end of your trip. It’s faster than your broadband connection at home and just as good as having a phone with apps like Line.

Bring an external battery charger for your phone and the attachments for both USB and AC charging.
