What should I pack when moving to Sapporo?

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

"When moving to Sapporo, it's important to pack a variety of clothing to accommodate for the city's four distinct seasons. In the winter, Sapporo can be quite cold, so pack warm clothing such as thermal underwear, sweaters, a heavy coat, gloves, scarves, and hats. Waterproof boots are also a must for the snowy season. For the summer, pack lightweight clothing, but also include a few sweaters or light jackets for cooler evenings. Rain gear, such as a waterproof jacket and umbrella, is also necessary as Sapporo can be quite rainy, especially during the summer months. In terms of toiletries, while you can find most items in Japan, if you have specific brands you prefer, it may be a good idea to bring them with you. If you wear prescription glasses or contact lenses, bring an extra pair and a copy of your prescription. Pack a power adapter for your electronics, as Japan uses a different plug type and voltage than many other countries. Bring any necessary medication, along with a copy of your prescription and a letter from your doctor explaining your need for the medication. It's also a good idea to pack some comfort items, such as favorite snacks, books, or photos, to help make your new place feel more like home. Lastly, don't forget important documents such as your passport, visa, driver's license, and any necessary insurance cards," said a member in Sapporo, Japan.
