Even more randomly, you could add bizarre mementoes like toe socks, pocket-sized lucky charms and Daruma dolls to your shopping list. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Importantly, even if your Japan trip planner doesn&#8217;t include shopping, you&#8217;ll want to add the right footwear to your packing list. Comfortable shoes are crucial, whether you&#8217;re heading up Mount Fiji or soaking up the scents of Osaka&#8217;s delicate cherry blossoms.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>RELATED CONTENT:<\/em><\/strong><em> <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/beautiful-japanese-landscapes-will-make-want-visit-now\/\"><em>Beautiful Japanese landscapes that will make you want to visit now<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-essentials-to-include-on-your-japan-packing-list\">Essentials to include on your Japan Packing List<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2021\/02\/alexandre-chambon-eTL5gUK1mt4-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Pack for the cold when you're thinking about what to wear in Japan in winter\" class=\"wp-image-25275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/alexandre-chambon-eTL5gUK1mt4-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/alexandre-chambon-eTL5gUK1mt4-unsplash-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/alexandre-chambon-eTL5gUK1mt4-unsplash-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/alexandre-chambon-eTL5gUK1mt4-unsplash-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/alexandre-chambon-eTL5gUK1mt4-unsplash.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While your Japanese hosts may dress modestly, they certainly have their own unique sense of style. So, when you\u2019re planning what to wear in Japan take into consideration that your wardrobe should err on the conservative side if you\u2019re trying to keep up with their trendiness. And, whatever you do, pack an extra pair of decent socks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-focus-on-footwear\"><strong>Focus on footwear<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a Japanese custom to remove one\u2019s shoes before entering a home, and even some businesses and buildings like temples and museums. You&#8217;ll know, by spotting the signage indicating whether shoes are allowed. There are even separate toilet slippers in some restrooms. Essentially, you\u2019ll want to pack shoes that are easy to slip on and off, and that means without laces. Another handy tip is to pack a pair of good socks as going barefoot is considered rude. You&#8217;ll also want to leave your flip flops at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-small-towel-hand-wipes-and-hand-sanitiser\"><strong>Small towel, hand wipes and hand sanitiser<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll find that public restrooms in Japan often don\u2019t have soap and towels. Your fastidious Japanese hosts are well prepared for this and carry their own handkerchiefs wherever they go. You would do well to follow their example and carry hand sanitiser, hand wipes or a small towel with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-warm-layers\"><strong>Warm layers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2021\/02\/nicholas-ng-T4CA5UAM1hA-unsplash-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Add layers to your Japan trip planner\" class=\"wp-image-25277\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/nicholas-ng-T4CA5UAM1hA-unsplash-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/nicholas-ng-T4CA5UAM1hA-unsplash-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/nicholas-ng-T4CA5UAM1hA-unsplash-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/nicholas-ng-T4CA5UAM1hA-unsplash-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/nicholas-ng-T4CA5UAM1hA-unsplash.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, this tip on what to wear in Japan will depend on when and where you plan to visit. Even in summer, you\u2019ll be happy to add a few warm layers to your Japan packing list, especially at night. Many Japanese buildings, especially the traditional ones, are generally not heated so have a warm fleece at hand to keep you cosy at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cash-is-king\"><strong>Cash is king<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Japan remains a cash society which means you should carry some Yen on you at all times. Merchants and ATMs often don&#8217;t accept credit and debit cards issued outside of Japan. Also, take note that ATMs at banks close before 9 pm, while convenience store and shopping centre ATMs are open 24 hours. Even restaurants and shops outside of the main cities may sometimes only accept cash. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pocket-size-lifesavers\">Pocket-size lifesavers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2021\/02\/joey-huang-jg3NTQilepo-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Include pocket-size lifesavers like portable batteries on your Japan Packing List \" class=\"wp-image-25278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/joey-huang-jg3NTQilepo-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/joey-huang-jg3NTQilepo-unsplash-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/joey-huang-jg3NTQilepo-unsplash-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/joey-huang-jg3NTQilepo-unsplash-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/joey-huang-jg3NTQilepo-unsplash.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A portable charger really has become a non-negotiable to add to your Japan packing list, no matter where you\u2019re going. The last thing you\u2019ll want to do is chase down somewhere to charge your phone because the battery is dead after a day of selfies, translations and following GPS directions. Keep exploring without having to worry about conserving battery power by keeping a portable charger on hand. We also recommend having a pocket WiFi device because WiFi isn\u2019t as prolifically available as it may be in other parts of the world. If you want to use Google Maps and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/japanese\/best-japanese-translation-app\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">translation app<\/a> when you\u2019re out exploring, you&#8217;ll want the convenience of being connected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>GET INSPIRED BY<\/em><\/strong><em>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/en-us\/tours\/splendours-of-japan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Splendours of Japan<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-fold-up-bag\"><strong>A fold-up bag<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We mentioned souvenir-buying opportunities earlier. Having a fold-up or collapsible backpack is always a good idea, even if you\u2019re not a keen shopper. Keep those pocket-size lifesavers, your shoes, that extra pair of socks (pack a plastic bag), and a rain jacket, in case it rains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Ready to put your stylish hosts through their paces with your newly acquired knowledge on what to wear in Japan?
