[@Jane-d9o]

Just came back from Japan. Please be careful with the laundry. Even if they have washer and dryers it’s very busy and one May not be available. The hotel we stayed at had laundry service. It was very expensive. Be sure you only clean what you need for the remainder of your trip. With the laundry service they need to know first thing in the morning and will receive them the next day. Have to say when we received them, shirts and pants were all individually wrapped and looked brand new.

[@charlespham7648]

So is a backpack considered a "carry on" and you have to put it into an overhead bin? Or can you take it with you to your seat and put it under the seat?

[@buildyourmoxie]

You can bring on 2 items for most airlines If one is a backpack and one is a small purse, the backpack is your carry on (overhead) and the purse is your personal item (under seat) If one is a roller (around 22”x14”x9” size), and one is a backpack. Then your roller is the carry on on for overhead and your backpack (has to fit under seat) is your personal item :) But you cannot have two items that are 22”x14”x9”. One has to fit under the seat :) Alternatively you can just bring something to fit under the seat :) and not put anything overhead

What i would do is move all heavy items to personal item or wear it and then put it back in after you pass weigh station :) For winter, I’m going to be testing it out soon :) Going to Japan again late December! I will see if i can do it!! I’m totally not a light packer so i was really proud of myself in this video haha. It made the traveling SOOO good cuz we were incredibly mobile!

Going to Japan in September with my partner. It's gonna be our first time there so we know we want alot of things (tech, anime etc) so we're gonna try and pack just cabin case and personal bags each then use our big suitcases for stuff and suvonirs we get there 🤞 fingers crossed we can do it! What budget do you recommend for 2 weeks? We've heard everything up to £3500 each and that's just not affordable 😅

[@buildyourmoxie]

Good plan!! My first trip I brought way too much! Just get a place with laundry! :) For budget if you are doing just a regular trip I would say average your food budget to $30 a day per person. So some days you won’t even spend that much and other days you might spend a little more. It all comes down to how much your flight and hotel costs. Everything else in Japan is so affordable so it really depends on the activities you want. For transportation on subway using IC card, I would say budget $15 a day which you won’t use sometimes and some days you will go over and at the end of the trip you can just spend it on souvenirs. Touristy things just average it out to $15-40 usually. Like mipig, team lab, animal cafe etc Bring your passport! You get tax savings :). Just show the check out person and they either can or cannot give you discount there :) Hope this helps!

[@MentalThingsIsScary]

Which airline did you fly with and what was the weight of your carry on? I'm going to Japan at the end of Sept, flying with Singapore Airlines and can take 7kg carry on. I'll probably end up taking a back pack because my Delsey carry on is probably too heavy😅

[@buildyourmoxie]

Japan air. 23 pounds but they allow 22 pounds. They didn’t weigh it cuz I just went straight to security cuz I had mobile boarding pass. Sometimes I visit the kiosk too to get a paper boarding pass 😁 Singapore air is hit or miss with weighing your carry on bag. If possible try to not even visit the counter and you will be okay and they won’t weigh you. Go to kiosk and print boarding pass if possible! They allow a personal item though so maybe put all your heavy stuff in your backpack and use that as personal item. And then you can still bring your carry on :) I’ve done Singapore air 4 times now. I really like them minus their whole 15 pound carry on thing lol

[@zoemariestowers]

This may be a dumb question, but how did you get your souvenir bag back home? Did you have to check it in before flight? Was it a personal item? Sorry new to flying/traveling so I’m not sure about the whole flying process.

[@buildyourmoxie]

I checked it in on the way home :) I did 90% of the trip as carry on only cuz we were moving all over Japan and wanted to be mobile! And then the last couple days in Shibuya, we did all our shopping. And then we put the stuff in our big duffle bags and departed from Tokyo with carry on and a checked bag/souveniers 😃

Did you use JR pass again this time? I heard the prices changed

Can you please tell me what kind of bag is your blue souvenir bag? Thank you!

[@buildyourmoxie]

Hehe it’s my husband’s old high school football bag! It’s held up really well over years and years 😁 This one is pretty comparable though with size and durability and has a shoulder strap! amzn.to/3UZJQbx

Do you have a favorite trenchcoat that you love to wear traveling to Japan?

[@buildyourmoxie]

Yes! I love traveling with my green trenchcoat from Uniqlo in Japan! It was equivalent to around $100 USD! I wear it in this video :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/pH3Gl4J8oZuihLcsi=Mpk7JqnBY9oghAYo

I’ve used satin pillowcases for years and I bought a silk one once but it never held up despite following the laundering instructions. Are the silk pillowcases actually better than satin??

[@buildyourmoxie]

I would say satin is good too if you get a good one. The silk one I got here I like because it doesn’t snag. For some reason I can’t keep my satin ones nice 😂 Looks like you and I are opposite twins! This is the one I like. I’ve tried other silk ones but they discolor if I have product in my hair or on my face: amzn.to/3KeWC0H

[@gailcrockett9883]

Those tops are great for people with small to almost no boobs😂. How did you get that hugh bag of snacks on the plane: checked, carry- on or personal under the seat or had to pay extra for additional luggage?

[@buildyourmoxie]

😁 The big bag of snacks was checked in! We got two free checked bags with my airline so I didn’t pay anything hehe.

[@sourcow56]

What’s your airline. I don’t want them to weigh my bags too. 😂

[@buildyourmoxie]

@@sourcow56 Japan air 🤫 The trick is to not go to the counter if you don’t need to 😉. Just get ur mobile boarding pass. Or go to kiosk. But sometimes when I’m in Japan it still makes me go to counter. But just keep your carry on close to you and try to look small 😝 Singapore air will weigh your carry on 50% of the time.😝

[@buildyourmoxie]

lol I always forget to film my shoes! I just made another video that I’m partying next week and I finally remembered to put my shoes in lol. I bring one pair of comfy white walking shoes. But they are by the front door 😝

[@isleeptillnoon5256]

The weight of that luggage alone takes up more than half of my carryon weight allowance, leaving me only 3kgs of my 7kg weight for my stuff. Let's hope none of your viewers have the misfortune to travel on airlines who weigh cabin luggage or they'll be in for an expensive shock.

[@robynwalker7616]

Totally agree. I watch these videos and laugh…from Australia there’s a total carryon weight of 7kg. Travelling internationally, I’ve always had to check in my bag, even when though it is technically a carryon suitcase size.

[@buildyourmoxie]

yeah for Japan air we can go to 22 pounds which was what this bag was. Southwest is 24 pounds. I try to not book with the 7kg (15 pound) flights if possible or else i would have to check in my bag. Usually on those stricter flights, i also have a check in bag and then I rearrange weight. But seriously 7kg is so crazy to me still. 15 pounds is so light X_X. I also have done it before where i move everything to a bigger personal item. But yeah, now i travel airlines that have a higher limit if possible :)

[@elspuffricho3305]

This is my situation 7kg only lol

[@DriveBy1316]

Why bother with the white noise machine where you can listen to white noise tracks on Spotify? That's just unnecessary bulk, especially on a carry on.

[@buildyourmoxie]

I don’t like using my phone battery or my data/wifi to play for hours 😁. Cuz sometimes the wall sockets aren’t that great depending on where you go so I save my phone juice and battery pack if possible. I have the calm app and headspace and I download the white noise. But it still drains my battery 🤗 Some people don’t need white noise so they wouldn’t need to bother. But my hubs and I are big big white noise people so we feel it necessary even tho it takes up space! But if we didn’t have space I would use it as a “keychain” Off of my personal item which would be fine 😁

You're making miss Japan 🥹 FYI..the only thing is at the airport [Kansai] while flying to korea ㅜㅜ i had a lemon tea syrup thingy that was 100ml but the security guard confiscate it stating its not the liquid they look at only but the actual size of the container which looked a tad bigger ㅜㅜ i was going to give it to my mom as a gift so i was crushed ㅜㅜ
