Make 2 copies and store them separately in case of loss. 📱 Be sure to buy a Japanese SIM card or portable WiFi in advance; you'll need it for navigation and messaging. 🔌 Japanese outlets use 2 flat pins, so bring a universal plug adapter for your electronic devices. 👕 It's cool in Japan in the mornings and evenings in October, so bring a light jacket and a pair of comfortable walking shoes. 💊 Bring common medications like stomach medicine, cold medicine, and adhesive bandages so you don't have to hunt for a pharmacy if you feel unwell. 💰 Exchange some Japanese Yen cash, as some small shops and street stalls only accept cash. · ------- ✨️Save this Japan free-and-easy travel guide and follow the plan for a hassle-free trip next time!✨️
