What should I pack when moving to kobe?

Answer this Question

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

"When moving to Kobe, Japan, it's essential to pack clothing suitable for all seasons, as the city experiences a range of weather conditions throughout the year. Lightweight clothing for the hot and humid summer months is a must, as well as warmer clothing for the cooler winter months. Don't forget to pack a good quality raincoat and umbrella, as Kobe gets quite a bit of rain, especially during the typhoon season from August to October. Comfortable walking shoes are also a must, as you'll likely be doing a lot of walking or biking around the city. If you're planning on working or studying in Kobe, bring any necessary documents, such as your passport, visa, work permit, or school enrollment papers. Also, bring copies of any important medical records or prescriptions, as you'll need to set up healthcare once you arrive. Pack any personal care items that you can't live without, as they may be hard to find in Japan. This includes specific brands of toiletries, cosmetics, or over-the-counter medications. Remember to bring a power adapter for your electronics, as Japan uses a different type of plug and voltage than many other countries. If you're a fan of cooking, you might want to pack some of your favorite spices or ingredients, as they might be hard to find in Kobe. Lastly, bring some items from home to make your new place feel more comfortable and familiar. This could be anything from photos of family and friends to your favorite books or decorations," wrote a member who made the move to kobe, Japan.
