You will not find a lot of storage space so try to bring as little as possible and go shopping when you get there (if you are staying long).
The summer is hot hot hot and muggy. You will want an umbrella (loads of rain) and a lot of lite clothing. Tanks are wonderful as there is not much to stick to you. The winter is cold and there is no central heating. You will want layers and some nice warm sweaters and winer jackets.
Japan is NOT well stocked in deoderant. if you choose to wear anything other than rol-on you will want to bring this with you. There are pharmacies and toiletry shops all over the place but they are a tad expensive.
*Girls will want to bring their own anti-fungals.
*It is a good idea to bring an emergency supply of ay medication you will need (incl. ASA. Acetamenophen or Ibuprofen).
It is very difficult to find any anti-histimines.
It is also a good idea to bring insect repellant and sunscreen. Leave a Comment

 Paper Fan for the Summer
Heat! by narutoLeave a Comment

Dress for the seasons.
In winter, bring those duck-down jackets and scarfs, and gloves. It gets cold!!
In summer, bring singlet tops and jeans/shorts/cargos/skirts.
In Spring & Autumn, bring what you'd wear in summer but also a cardigan or light jacket/jearsey.
Always bring a small fold-up umbrella in your bag. It pours with rain with no warning some days!
Or else, you'll just find yourself buying one from the convienence stores anyway on a rainy day.
Ahhh! In summertime, the mosquitos bite and bite!
Bring mosquito repellent so that you won't be itchy for the whole trip! My friend from Korea visited us, and on her first night here, got bitten 10 times! And once on her eyelid! wow, now those are some hungry mosquitos! Leave a Comment

 Proper attire: Hooded
jackets/nice walking shoes by joiwatani, 1 more photos
Warm jackets, gloves and good pair of walking shoes if you are travelling in the winter of Fall season.
Water. Make sure to take your vitamins before heading out to the temples
Sony Cybershoot. Extra chip and make sure to charge your battery before heading out from your hotel.
Water is needed because there is a lot of walking needed to get into the many temples and shrines

Yuo will need to walk a lot. So, get a pair of comfortable shoes. No platforms and high-heels. Sneakers or track shooes or good walking shows would be great. Do not bring "complicated" shoes as you will need to take off your shoes at some sights. Leave a Comment

Everything is in Japanese and some older Japanese you meet on the streets may not undertand English. It is good to bring a small Japanese Phrase Book if you want to minimise communication problem. Leave a Comment
