has anybody made a prep kit for #nostrasia on what to be ready for and maybe recommendations on what to pack? 🤔
the warm weather is already gonna be a shock to me 😂

Google Maps is your best friend while over there. The subway system is a little bit different (many different companies on the same hub / line) but once you get the hang of it, it’s all you need to come & go.
If you need data (who doesn’t haha), you can rent a WiFi puck at the airport for the duration of your stay
I suggest you read little bit about the districts. Each has its own “thing” … like Akibahara for electronics, manga & gaming, Harajuku which is the fashion distric etc
There’s waaay to much to see in Japan … don’t try to see everything on one go. Try to visit public spaces in unusual times if you want to forgo crowds …
(I went to see the Bamboo Forest in Kyoto at dawn so I could have it to myself for a few)
The Japanese are incredibly polite & will outdo themselves to accommodate you (sometimes even if they don’t understand what you want but you’re always a picture away from being understood). Honestly, one of the most visitor friendly places I’ve travelled to.
Enjoy Nostrasia … it’s definitely gonna be memorable
Here’s a very useful site with a lot of good info
