Yokohama, Japan
What should I pack when moving to Yokohama?
We asked people living in Yokohama to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Yokohama, it's essential to pack clothing suitable for all four seasons, as the city experiences a wide range of temperatures throughout the year. Lightweight clothing for the hot and humid summers, and warm clothing for the cold winters, including a good quality coat, are necessary. Don't forget to pack comfortable walking shoes, as walking is a common mode of transportation in Japan. Also, consider packing a good quality umbrella for the rainy season and a hat or sunscreen for the summer months. If you take prescription medication, bring enough to last for your initial period in Japan, along with a copy of your prescription. It's also a good idea to pack a basic first aid kit with band-aids, antiseptic cream, and over-the-counter medication for common ailments like headaches and colds. Bring your important documents, such as your passport, visa, driver's license, and any necessary insurance documents. It's also a good idea to have copies of these documents in case they get lost. If you're planning on cooking at home, you might want to pack some of your favorite spices or food items that might be hard to find in Japan. Remember to pack your electronics, including your laptop, phone, and chargers. An international adapter might also be necessary as the plugs in Japan might be different from your home country. Lastly, bring personal items that will make your new place feel like home, such as photos, small keepsakes, or your favorite books. These items can help ease the transition and make your new place in Yokohama feel more comfortable and familiar," said a member in Yokohama, Japan.
