Items to Pack

Must

Comfy shoes since we'll be walking A LOT

Small hand towel since bathrooms often don't have paper towels

Hand sanitizer since bathrooms sometimes don't have soap

Prescription or over-the-counter medications you may need (check

this webpage⁠

first, though, and bring the actual Rx from your doctor)

Dramamine since we will be taking some long bus rides in Nikko

Socks in decent condition since you'll have to take off your shoes occasionally

Something to do while waiting—for example, on long train rides or in lines

Light-weight water bottle as glasses in restaurants tend to be smaller than we’re used to

External phone charger/battery pack as many cafes don’t have outlets where you can plug in

Small packet of tissues since bathrooms sometimes (rarely) don't have toilet paper

Garbage or ziploc bags or organizing luggage on the return +

holding trash⁠

when walking around

Sharpie for labeling packages

Tide Pens as I don’t know if they sell them in Japan

Toothbrushes and combs since they'll be provided everywhere we go

Umbrellas since many times it’s easier just to buy cheap ones at convenience stores
