    The best thing you can do is pack light. All you really need is 3 pairs of clothes. Most hotels have laundry machines, so you don't need to pack much. And you can buy whatever you need if you find yourself lacking. Japan is a lot more fun when you're not hauling around a heavy pack or dragging a roller bag around.

    I'm in the "watch every video I possibly can that is even remotely relevant to sate my excitement" phase of pre-travel for my trip to Japan in a month, and I have to say, your Japan travel videos are a delight, and answer so many questions in a concise and easy to digest way. So let this comment serve as a catch-all comment for basically all of your Japan videos. :)
    Your attitude is great and your positive energy is super infectious, and while it's definitely fun to watch videos from full-time professional globetrotters who've been everywhere and done it all (and travel for three months on a single carry-on bag), your advice and certainly feels a bit more approachable and grounded for the average person prepping for a Japan vacation in 2024.
    Things can change so fast that advice from even a year ago can be out of date, so it's been a joy to have up to date information presented in such an approachable way. Thanks for sharing!

Was these last 9 years ago but one thing remains constant in urban or rural country side areas: walking, walking, walking WALKING everywhere when not on a train. OMG. And everyone walks- young, old, toddlers and I between. So much to consider- transportation modes, what to see and do-recommend "a sand onsen" if in ones routes. Safe travels

But I found this to be really fun and I don't know..."uplifting"(?)because of her personality.I am such an overpacker...you just never know what you need and it always hurts to spend that money on something you already have...and you could have spent it on something "fun". But to everyone's point, it isn't like you can't find what you need there. I am going for 2 weeks and this is going to be a challenge. Watching CZcamsr's has been so helpful in narrowing down the most import things.

    U remind me of my old me when packing😀. Because of "just in case". When needing to stay warm, try the HEAT TECH WEAR from UNIQLO, very thin (takes almost nothing of space), but they really keep u warm WITHOUT the bulk. They also come in different warmth level. They have been my go to here in Alberta Canada where temps can go down to -40's. Doing this would definitely save u packing space. When cold, u don't really perspire, so I would pare down to neutral pants and probably only take 2-3pairs at most, probably less if the hotel has washer/dryer. I would pack more of tops for pix variety, who cares about looking at ur pants😅. Another thing i bring with me to stay warm are "neck gaiters", the neck is highly vascular so keeping it covered will keep a lot of body heat. BULA has many cute designs.

    Went to Japan last November... first time since the pandemic and I definitely overpacked 😂. You really don’t need as much as you think. Used luggage delivery for the first time ever, great service! Take advantage of it if possible. I travelled with a carryon wheelie case and a medium checkin. Very inconvenient still to maneuver around as there is a lot of tactile paving that your luggage gets caught up in.
    Not a big deal but bring a change purse as you get a lot of coins. If you forget, drop into Daiso...love Daiso!
    I didn’t need as much clothes as I thought as I did a bit of hand washing during stays of 2 nts or more.
    I was very aware of weight restrictions especially on my carryon. I flew ANA and their limit is 10kg for personal + carryon. They didn’t weigh my bags but I was ready to stuff my jacket pockets with stuff. 😂

    We had been visiting Japan several times now and we will go again in a week. I’ve learned a lot from the very first time we went there- I tend to pack a lot too like you and I suffered a lot . So now , I pack light ! I take an extra duffel bag that I fold on the way there and it becomes another check in luggage for stuff we buy there. I don’t bring laundry soap since most places we stay comes with laundry soap and if not there’s an array of soaps in the stores there. I love your style .

    When I finally go to Japan, I'm challenging myself (a slight overpacker, especially in the skincare/makeup dept) to pack as many of my belongings as possible in a carry-on and to leave my checked bag for souvenirs (this is a once-in-a-lifetime trip and spouse and I are big shoppers). We're also definitely utilizing luggage delivery when we get there because I'll be using a wheelchair and can only carry so much.

    • @buildyourmoxie
      @buildyourmoxie  Před 5 měsíci +2

      Hello! Aw thank you so much! The shoes I brought were just random white training sneakers I had from a while ago from a non-shoe company hahaha. I have “normal” feet in medical terms and I have very strong arches and accessory foot muscles so I can wear pretty much whatever and be good! I’m pretty lucky!
      But I would recommend a running shoe with more support or any of the hokas to anyone else that has any foot issues or not used to walking long distances!! Japan has a ton of hard floor. Like marble, cement, hard packed dirt. I would not recommend flat or minimal shoes like vibrams, ballet flats, sandals unless you are alllllways barefoot because you live on the beach and surf all the time etc lol. (Random example) 🤓

    @soniaperez9269 Před 5 měsíci +1

    My top tip for travel is to only take hand luggage (no check in bag). I think it makes the travel process and trip itself so much easier and stressful! It's very hard at first but I have mastered the art over the years with lots of work trips.
    The exception is if you are going somewhere where specialist gear is needed such as a hike - I.e I did Kilimanjaro last year and had to check in a bag as I had hiking and camping gear.

    Hi! My daughter is leaving for Japan with EF tours next week and she is concerned about her plane snacks. It s a long flight and she has peanut allergies so she typically does not eat on the plane and so we have to pack snacks for her. Do you ever have any issues with getting snacks thru TSA and customs in Japan? We won't be packing any liquid snacks but I was just wondering if there is anything you would recommend we avoid?

    • @buildyourmoxie

    As for packing for japan. I’ve already started packing for practice and I still have 2 months to go 😂 trying to be minimal tends to make me forget things. Otherwise I overpack which isn’t an option this time because I need to be handsfree as much as possible. 2 month trip with 2 littles.
