*EVERYTHING* I packed for my 10 day trip to Japan

I wasn't sure I could watch the whole video because of the "energy"..lol. 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 Youtuber's has been so helpful in narrowing down the most import things.

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.

A word of advice to anyone who is considering going to Japan... GO! GO NOW! The exchange rate is incredibly favorable right now, especially from the US Dollar $. It is like everything is discounted 30% off (accommodations, food, trains, etc.)

Finally a packing video that doesn't make me feel bad for using a checked bag + carry on suitcase! I loves the tips, and will use them for my trip to Europe this autumn

I'm currently planning to visit Japan during the fall season and all the planning really has me stressed out but this packing video together with your other travel videos has given me an idea of what to expect about traveling and what to do (first time going internationally)

I love all your videos! I just wanted to say thank you! Just got back from 3 weeks away in Japan and the toiletries bag was AMAZING! So many amazing tips in your videos! Thank you! :)

For claiming to be an "over-packer" I think you did a pretty good job. Everything you brought had a reason and it gave me some ideas of important things I should bring on future trips. Thanks for sharing. =)

Have fun in Japan, Erica! ❤️ Thanks for all the tips.

Your videos have been so helpful and you have such a fun, honest personality ❤ thanks so much!

Just wanted to say thanks for 3 of your recommended items, which have helped me a lot-the Sutera pillow (neck pain is gone!), the Tiger Tail roller and the Okko bra-all terrific suggestions!

Aloha Erica! Love your videos. On my last Japan trip, I used almost all of your great tips and they worked out great. Hope you had or are having fun. 🌺😎💕🫶🏻👍🥷

So glad I found your channel!! You rock and are very insightful.

Going end of September for 2 months into the Morioka region. 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 Can't wait for report when you return. Thank you

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!

Suggestion for laundry on the go… I now bring the TruEarth eco-strips. I found them very convenient to pack in checked luggage or in a carry-on, as they are flat and thin so you can pack as many as you want. Clothes smell fresh too! Have a great time in Japan!

I loved this so much!! Thanks for sharing❤

Let us know if you going to visit Japan!😍

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 .

I am looking forward to my trip to Japan - thanks for the packing tips!

I went to Japan last year and I am going back this December and have watch all your videos and they helped me immensely! I am going to save this one and watch it again right before we go. Your videos are helpful and you are cute as hell , Thank you Erica
