Minimalist Pack With Me | one week with one luggage in Japan (again)

[@mayaleex3]

Heading back to Japan 🥹! Come pack with me as I share how I pack for the cold weather ❄️. I used to be an overpacker, so I’ve been toning it down a lot these past few years 😅

[@slrstay]

t’auras pas besoin d’un adaptateur pour ton chargeur ???

[@skmiu5042]

As soon as I saw you were traveling again, I was hoping for a “what I packed” video. I’m so happy to see this!!! Safe travels

[@rnsmomma]

Thanks for the Baggu rec! The Uniqlo crescent bag was a tad too small for traveling.

[@katiehamilton3915]

as a former bank teller, I suuper appreciate that you knew it takes a day or two to order foreign currency!!

[@sovyc977]

Would you be able to get Yen at wellsfargo, Bank of stockton, and etc?

[@ruk6128]

I just came back from Japan three weeks ago. It's so convenient there! The hotel had EVERYTHING. You don't need toiletries and laundry detergent. The body wash, shampoo and conditioner are all full size ones and they're really good! They also provide all the skincare products you may need: makeup remover, face wash, toner, essence, face mask, face lotion, face cream etc. and again, they're really good! I didn't even really use the ones I brought LOL! Their washing machines come with laundry detergent so you won't need laundry detergent (it says on the machines). I frigging love how convenient Japan is! My only regret is that I overpacked my clothes so I didn't get to buy all the stuffs that I wanted to buy because I worried about my baggage being overweight. Urgh! My brother went the following week after I came back and he didn't bring all his toiletries and not overpacked after I shared with him my experience. He had lighter baggage so he would have room for more stuffs when he went shopping!

[@idaliadeyaniracantuguerrer7829]

😮😮😮 what hotel did u stay???

[@ruk6128]

@@idaliadeyaniracantuguerrer7829 I stayed at different hotels during my trip. All of them provided the basic necessities. I think majority of the hotels in Japan are pretty much providing the same items. My brother came back from his trip and he told me his hotels had most of the items I mentioned in my previous comment. If you need something, it doesn't hurt to check with front desk and see if they have it. They're usually very helpful!

[@zenniz1992]

I spent 5 days of japan in winter comfortably with just 3 sets of shirt+pants, 1 shirt for sleeping, 1 winter jacket, 1 wool sweater, 2 pairs of socks, 3 sets of undergarment, 1 pair of shoes and tote bag. My wallet only consist of just 1 multi currency master card and cash, nothing else and the size of my wallet is no bigger than my palm. I don't have a bag for specific stuff, just lump all the small items into a plastic bag. I didn't even bring stuff like gloves, toiletries and comb (Hotel provide everything i need), water bottle (just buy a plastic bottle from convenient store and reuse them for the whole trip), moisturizer (buy in japan), portable charger, umbrella (lucky it didn't rain for all 5 days), scarf, heatech. Overall my bag (Not luggage) only weight less than 4kg.

[@ashleyjones4994]

Could we get a link to the bag and backpacks! ❤️ headed to Korea soon and I think this would work great

[@mayaleex3]

Here is my backapck :D go.magik.ly/ml/1xvn5/

[@joybie07]

Maya, can you take all those cleansers, lotion, sunscreen, hand sanitizer, & cleansing water along with toiletries stuff in flight? I thought we had limit of a qt size Ziploc bag & everything else has to be checked.

[@kratikaagarwal8176]

Yay new one ❤

[@zsb99]

the repetition at 3:24 and 3:43 left me wondering whether i was having deja vu. had to go back and check lol

[@mayaleex3]

LOL what happens when I edit at 3am on a plane 😅

omg!! I went to the taiwan over summer and got the the same cardholder! Mines just like yours but a different design!! ♥♥♥

[@mayaleex3]

I love it soooo much!!

[@kevin19358]

Thanks for the tip for heads up for travelling. Next year, I will visit, Oceania, Asia, Europe and North America for vacation.

[@kevin19358]

7:38, They have plastic cup of water in the plane, which is good to rinse your mouth and brush your teeth after the meal. Only few or some airlines have plastic cup of water in the plane for 1st, business and sometimes ecomony class.

[@SharleneEH]

Hi Maya! I’m considering The Backpack, but I want to know if the Owala (24 oz) fits in the water bottle holder.

[@mayaleex3]

It does!!

[@dopemo2986]

Hi Maya, I’m going to Japan in November is a voltage converter needed?

[@meloveschocolate]

I just got back from a holiday, and this could have been so useful 😥🤣🖤

[@shermel]

Will you be updating your online itineraries? I would like to get the latest version for when I go to Japan in December. Thank you for this video!

[@mayaleex3]

I'll be going to Northern Japan this time but will spend two days in Tokyo and will share what else I'm eating and doing :)

[@melosaurrn]

Omg where did you get that super cute makeup bag??? Not the Beis one

[@SuperMario77]

Nice backpack and handbag for travel😊… i was looking for a black one which is lightweight… Is that backpack lightweight??

[@mariojsworld]

Nicely presented video.

[@LS-ou9lj]

I purchased your "Only Plans" Japan itinerary, since I'm planning to visit next year. Thanks Maya! I'll be flying from NJ, where do you find cheaper flight fares?

[@mayaleex3]

Thank you soooo much for purchasing my Only Plans :)!! I use google flights :)

[@zaravalieva7344]

What is the name of your luggage brand ?😊

[@merlynnkohbobby]

Hi what's the name of your luggage brand? Thank you 🧳🤗

[@mp7939]

I thought it’s totally normal just to fly with a small carryon 😂 for me that’s not even minimal! But I love this video ❤

[@kate_rae_porteous]

Can you links the pajamas and airport outfit

[@christianryanlagman7190]

I like your black luggage. What is the brand?

[@Nefertsukia]

You can grab some vacuum bags and really compress those puffer jackets if you need more room in your suitcase!;)

[@mayaleex3]

Genius 😭 they took up half the space of my luggage LOL

[@Nefertsukia]

@@mayaleex3 hehe yeah, I've also packed puffer jackets and using the vacuum bags really helped me pack everything in the suitcase. I also use them for winter clothing storage, game changer!

[@Anaxtruly]

Was it just me or did the AirTag not update after I left the US?

[@krishisaraogi8351]

What is the suitcase size??

[@mayaleex3]

Medium!

[@luangeles8078]

Este es el primer video que veo tuyo y amooo todo lo que tienes de BTS 💜

[@dyslexickdi3627]

There's an update on your phone where you can have travel cards on your iPhone wallet.

[@sophialesperance9243]

How much yen did you bring for 1 week? 🙂

[@mayaleex3]

I brought $100 in cash just in case I needed cash, but pretty much everywhere accepts card and I like to get credit card points :)

[@kevin19358]

4:27, What, your hubsand is Indonesian? Your hubsand was born in Indonesia?

[@caroldavid3716]

No shoes?

[@mayaleex3]

Only wearing one pair of shoes the whole week! 🥲👟👟 my hoka bondis!

[@b2trees]

Love your BTS stuff!

[@brookejollet4107]

You are adorable. 💜💜 fellow ARMY!

[@jeremylin2626]

i used to pack 6 months before i go somewhere 😂😂😂

[@Callmemochelle]

lol MINIMAL?? Gurl I pack for 2 weeks with a carry on bag. THAT is minimal.

[@zenniz1992]

AGREE! Most of the hotel have laundromat and clothes dryer so we can reduce the number of clothes to bring.

[@SMHartNPC]

Make a vlog so we can learn! ❤

[@Wadha111]

I totally agree with you, the size of her suitcase for one week is confusing

[@chenookapril187]

i agree 😂

[@mayaleex3]

I gotta leave room to bring stuff back 😂

[@lisbethyulinglim]

This is not minimalist at all.

[@mayaleex3]

Aww I’m sorry you feel that way :( I wanted to pack way more but held myself back!

[@Nefertsukia]

I disagree. One pair of shoes and some sets of warm clothes, basic makeup and minimum liquids, no (hair) tools or a bunch of accessories... Minimalism doesn't have to mean one change of clothes inside one backpack. That's silly and extreme but that's what a lot of youtubers like to "sell". It's not practical at all, but to each their own I suppose.

[@yuhgr1]

Agreed. There’s a genre specifically on minimalism on YT and people like me are prob fed this video bc of the algorithm. I just wasn’t expecting a “not actually minimalist” video 😅 I still watched the whole thing tho! It was cool

[@milesc1776]

I was just saying that. Im going to japan for 18days in Feb and im only taking a 26L backpage and a small sling. This is to much shit not minimalist

[@milesc1776]

If you've been to Japan before you dont understand that it's pretty easy to find Either laundromat, or maybe if you need to buy some clothes because it gets colder. You don't need to bring your hold house with you. I've been to Japan 3 times, and every time I find stuff that I don't need to bring with me. So for the next time I know not to bring it. Also, you said you're doing one bad travel, this is not 1 bad travel, you're bringing 3 bags, you're bringing a sling that's about 9 l. The backpack is 21 or 26 l, And then you're bringing a suitcase that's either 35 or 45 l. That's not minimalistic travel with one bag. Please read a dictionary of minimalistic. Please dont make another travel Packing video.
