The Ultimate Japan Packing List: 2025 Edition | Don’t Make the Same Mistakes | JAPAN GUIDE 2025 2025

Planning your first trip to Japan and not sure what to pack? I’ve got you covered. I’ve traveled to over 75 countries and lived in Japan for more than 30 years, so I know exactly what you’ll need—and what you won’t.
In a previous video, I shared 15 essential items, but after guiding over 100 travelers in Japan, I’ve updated the list to 25 must-know tips for 2025.
In this video, I’ll go over three key things: what you should bring to Japan, what you don’t need to bring, and most importantly, what you absolutely shouldn’t bring. That last one is critical—bringing banned items could get them confiscated at customs or even lead to fines.
Stick around till the end so you can travel safely, comfortably, and stress-free.
