My Japan Travel Favorites

My favorite travel essentials that I use when I’m in Japan are:

• Luggage: Samsonite hard shell luggage, ALWAYS! I have the full size luggage, carry on, and the backpack that hooks onto any luggage!
• Walking Shoes: My Nike P6000s survived 20,000+ steps every day, and I love them.
• Travel Adapters: All two prong plugs will be fine in Japan, but if you need to bring your laptop or something that is a 3-prong plug, you’ll need a travel adapter like this one.
• Portable Charger: This is a non-negotiable! Here’s the portable I use that lasts 3 charges.
• Crossbody Bag: I love my Porter Mile Shoulder bag! This is a Japanese brand that is famous for once designing bangs for the Emperor.
• Coat: Anything by Northface are my favorite because they’re warm, but lightweight.
