What should I pack when moving to Nagoya?

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

"When moving to Nagoya, it's important to pack clothing suitable for all seasons, as the city experiences a wide range of temperatures throughout the year. Lightweight clothing for the hot and humid summers, as well as warm clothing for the cold winters, should be included. Don't forget to pack a good quality raincoat and umbrella, as Nagoya gets quite a bit of rain, especially during the typhoon season. Comfortable walking shoes are also a must, as you'll likely be doing a lot of walking or cycling. If you're planning on working or studying, bring any necessary documents, such as your passport, visa, work permit, or school enrollment papers. It's also a good idea to bring copies of these documents, just in case. Pack any prescription medications you take regularly, along with a copy of your prescription. While Japan has a high standard of healthcare, it can sometimes be difficult to find specific medications. Bring a small amount of Japanese yen to cover initial expenses, but remember that Japan is still largely a cash-based society, so you'll need to have access to cash regularly. If you have a favorite toiletry or personal care item, consider bringing it with you, as it may be difficult to find the exact product in Japan. However, don't overdo it, as you can find most basic items in local stores. Lastly, consider packing a few items from home to make your new place feel more comfortable and familiar. This could be anything from a favorite book to a cherished photo," explained one expat living in Nagoya, Japan.
