💡𝑻𝑰𝑷𝑺!
👉🏻 If you visit Japan, you will want to shop! So bring extra bags which you can store in your luggage
👉🏻 Cheaper to buy in drugstores than in Donki. Bought Kitkat 10s mini at 218 JPY only
👉🏻 Bring Ziplocks for your trash. There aren't many trash bins in public so you'll have to bring them to your hotel
👉🏻 Bring a portable weighing scale to avoid over baggage
👉🏻 Cebpac in JPN is very strict in the number of hand-carry bags. Only two (2) pieces including shopping bags/personal bags are allowed on board.
👉🏻 Hotels usually provide sleepwears which they change daily. Saves you space on your luggage
👉🏻 Hotels provide complete toiletries already: body wash, shampoo, conditioner, and many more
👉🏻 Save cash by buying in conbinis! Also for a tight and on the go schedule, these are life hacks 👌🏻
👉🏻 All toilets have tissue papers 🥹
