Japan uses two-pin flat plugs. Make sure your power bank is under 20,000 mAh. 👚 It's still hot in Japan in September, so bring lightweight sun-protective clothing and breathable outfits, plus a light jacket for air-conditioned indoors. 💊 Bring common stomach and cold medicines, as well as mosquito repellent, as there are many bugs at tourist sites. Carrying some cash is also more convenient. · ------------------- If you're planning a group tour to Japan, save this post! Feel free to ask me any questions in the comments section. 😘
