Japan rewards thoughtful packing. Shoes that slip on easily (for temples and traditional restaurants), comfortable walking layers and a modest sense of style will serve you well.

💡 Local tips

Things to know before you pack

  • Slip-on shoes are essential — you'll remove them constantly at temples

  • Carry a small towel — some public bathrooms don't provide hand dryers

  • A portable WiFi or SIM card makes navigating transport far easier

  • IC card (Suica/Pasmo) for public transport — add it to your travel wallet
