Tokyo, Japan
What should I pack when moving to Tokyo?
We asked people living in Tokyo to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"I wish I had brought more unique clothing. I never tried something special with my outfits and picking clothes became dull. I also wish I had brought more coconut oil. It's such a great ingredient and is super expensive here. I would also have brought more shorts. It's so humid here in summer and I wish I had a good pair. I wish I had left my extra pairs of shoes. I never used them and now I have to bring them back. I wish I had left my special hair products. I never got the chance to try them. I also wish I had left my extra electronic devices, like my camera and Nintendo DS. I just never felt the need or urge to use them," said another expat in Tokyo, Japan.
"Clothing for all seasons, comfortable walking shoes, rain gear, toiletries, first-aid kit, passport, visas, cash and credit cards, laptop or tablet, power adapter, umbrella, rolled up futon or air mattress, kitchenware, bathroom accessories, and electronics," wrote a member who made the move to Tokyo, Japan.
