What should I pack when moving to Nara?

Answer this Question

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

"When moving to Nara, you should pack clothing suitable for all four seasons, as the city experiences a temperate climate with hot summers and cold winters. Lightweight clothing is recommended for the summer months, while warmer clothing, including jackets, scarves, and gloves, are necessary for the winter. You should also pack a good pair of walking shoes, as Nara is a city rich in history and culture, with many attractions best explored on foot. Don't forget to pack your personal documents, such as your passport, visa, and other identification, as well as any necessary medical prescriptions. It's also a good idea to pack a basic first aid kit, including band-aids, antiseptic wipes, and any over-the-counter medication you may need. If you're planning on cooking at home, you might want to pack some of your favorite non-perishable food items, as they may be hard to find in Japan. Remember to pack your electronics, including your laptop, phone, and chargers. An international power adapter is also necessary, as the plugs in Japan may be different from those in your home country. Lastly, consider packing some personal items that will make your new place feel like home, such as photos, small decorations, or your favorite books," commented one expat who made the move to Nara, Japan.
