Hi,

As an expat living in Japan, what would you advise the ones about to pack to bring along?

What are the items you can easily find in Japan? On the other hand, what is less common or quite expensive?

Share with us what you would recommend to bring in one’s suitcase or container when moving to Japan.

Thank you in advance,

Christine

Bring what YOU need, and/or treasure, there is no one size fits all , other than cash!
