What should I pack when moving to Fukuoka?

Answer this Question

We asked people living in Fukuoka to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to Fukuoka, it's important to pack clothing suitable for all seasons, as the city experiences a range of weather conditions throughout the year. Lightweight clothing is recommended for the hot and humid summer months, while warmer clothing is necessary for the cooler winter months. Rain gear, such as a waterproof jacket and umbrella, is also essential due to the city's rainy season. Comfortable walking shoes are a must, as you'll likely be doing a lot of walking or cycling. If you're planning on working or studying, bring any necessary documents, such as your passport, visa, and any other identification. It's also a good idea to bring copies of these documents. Pack any prescription medications you take regularly, along with a copy of your prescription. It's also recommended to bring a basic first aid kit. If you have a favorite brand of toiletries, you may want to pack them as they may not be available in Japan. Don't forget to pack a power adapter for your electronics, as Japan uses a different plug type than many other countries. Lastly, consider packing a few items from home to help combat homesickness, such as photos or favorite snacks," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Fukuoka, Japan.
