Print a few copies and store them separately to avoid any trouble if they are lost. 🔌 Prepare a travel adapter and power strip. Japanese outlets are two-pin flat plugs, so be prepared if you need to charge multiple devices. 📱 Buy a Japanese SIM card or activate international roaming in advance; you'll need internet for navigation and checking guides. 👖 In September, Japan is still quite tropical, so bring short sleeves, a light jacket for air-conditioned areas, and comfortable walking shoes for sightseeing. · ------------------- Hope this guided tour of Japan leaves you with wonderful, healing memories✨
