Here's my list of essentials to pack for a summer trip to Japan: https://youtu.be/fUOg3ap_Qis
-
My flight included 2 checked bags as well as a carry on and a personal item and im gonna try to fit all my stuff in the smaller suit case or my backpack so i can fill the bigger one with souvenirs
-
Nice tips! I used some of these strategies when we were moving internationally to cut down on our need to ship things back from Tokyo. Yamato's forwarding service was a lifesaver. I've followed you guys for the past few years and really enjoyed your travels through Thailand and Malaysia. Based on the shift in content, it seems like you guys are living long term in Japan now? Good for you! My family and I loved the five years we spent living on the east side of Tokyo
-
Fantastic guidance. So realistic.
-
Hello!! This is really helpful and we will definitely use your tips for our next trip to Japan! Can I ask where can I find the art supplies bag your daughter is showing? My daughter loves to color and draw during trips. Thank you in advance!
-
Your videos are informative for family travel, thank you! Can you share about the small luggage scale please?
-
Thanks for sharing. Great tips.
-
So much great information! I need to watch this again and take notes! Thank you. We are cruising around Japan in autumn but plan to spend a few days in Tokyo at the end of the cruise.
-
Thanks for the video! I am going to Japan this fall. I saw the July carry on in the thumbnail and was wondering how it worked for you. Looks like it worked out.
-
Excellent! Even, if not travelling with children.
-
Enjoy this trip and be safe!!! Great callout for buying luggage there. Since we’re going carry-on only, we’re buying a checked bag from Ginza Karen for souvenirs.
-
I was sad I didn’t have much room for souvenirs last time. I have to figure out better packing or a larger suitcase. I want to go see Team Lab Borderless too. Have a good trip, thanks for the tips
-
This is really helpful, as are all your videos. But I would like to point out that the Nomad health insurance is NOT available to people over 74. If you turn 75 after you buy it, coverage will lapse in that case, as well.
-
We were planning on going to Sapporo for the snow festival. My wife and I looked at each other and said "COLD".🥶 We are heading back to Malaysia next week instead.😂🥵 We are such lightweights!
-
What do we do if we want to buy a lot of stuff. We are going for 2 weeks going from Tokyo to Kyoto and Osaka
-
july bag is $244
