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

"3 things wish I had:- 1)Food stuff from home. 2)Winter clothing. 3)My red wing safety shoes. 3 things wish I left at home:- 1)My computer - can get good one in Japan. 2)Camera - can get good one in Japan. 3)Reference book," remarked another expat in Fuji City, Japan.

"When moving to Japan, it is important to pack items that will make the transition easier. Consider bringing comfortable clothing, as well as items that will help you adjust to the climate. It is also a good idea to bring any necessary documents, such as a passport, visa, and any other important paperwork. Additionally, it is helpful to bring items that will help you feel at home, such as photos, books, and other personal items. Finally, it is important to bring any necessary electronics, such as a laptop, phone, and chargers," said a member in Japan.
