Honestly bringing your stuffed animal IS ABSOLUTELY priorities. I'm saving my whole backpack for my stuffed hippo when I leave to Japan. I would also have to fit my laptop and everything else I need on the plane in my small carry on luggage because priorities

Hi Everyone, I made a mistake in 4:17 It was meant to be ¥200,000 (~USD 2000) ; ¥300,000 (~USD 3000) or ¥100,000 (~USD 1000) and for 4:29, it is ¥200,000 (~USD 2000) !! Not ¥20, 000 Sorry for the wrong information 🥺🥺

REALLY GOOD VIDEO! it was such a delight just watching you speak about what you’ve brought as well as your background with your asian heritage. keep up the awesome work :))

Thank you for this idea!

I will go to japan really soon and need to pack asf but still laying in bed and watch your vids at least it’s ABOUT packing? Haha

Thank you for sharing. I am applying for language school in Sendai.

You look so young but got this amazing wisdom on you. Thank you! :) ❤

Really helpful .THANK YOU.

hello annie hope you are doing well. your videos are too much informative. ❤

You totally need to be mentally prepared, I came to Japan hon I was not in a good place mentally no I had the worst time, it could've gone much better if I had been prepared to face the challenges of living in a new country

Thank you ! This was really nice and insightful

Thank you😭

Oh yes I am definitely gonna bring my bolster

And bring a brain to mind all belongings with you at all times

I'm thinking about moving to Japan when they reopen to foreigners and thank you for the insight your video really help me a lot

the stuffed animal / bolster is 100% required 😭I used my bolster since like 5 and 7 and cant sleep without them ( it was two separate bolsters but later on got surgically mixed together when I was something like 11 )

Hey so I also want to study abroad.do you know how you can transfer like lots amount of money from your home country bank to a Japanese bank

Leave and come back whenever you want😊its your channel and life not ours✨😌✨

Love from sri lanaka♥️🇱🇰🔥

Can i bring a copper water bottle

do i bring a pillow for the dorm

My problem with buying things there is that my size is probably not there 😅 im a medium- large in American sizes and an 8-10 in pants which would be considered HUGE in japan so idk 😭

is plus size undergarments available in Japan?! im 36d uk size..

I'd be cautious about not packing much clothing if you are not a petite person. Clothes for Japanese women don't necessarily fit the European or Western body type or if you are curvy. I'd recommend creating a good quality capsule wardrobe (lots of KZfaq info on that available) for the season(s) that you will be in Japan. Do your due diligence and research the climate in your area of the country. Then plan and pack accordingly. Also, when choosing footwear keep in mind that you will be doing a great deal of walking. Plan for comfort. I like boots that look great with pants or skirts. Also plan for footwear that is easy to slip in and out of as you will be taking them off to go into many restaurants, businesses, schools and into any homes you may enter. I'd give the stuffed animal(s) a miss as I am not a child; however, if it floats your boat do what you like. But Japan has so much cute crap you can buy it there if you must. If it's emotional balance you need, I'd establish a solid meditation practice before relying on a stuffy toy.

Is ¥30,000 really a safe amount to bring to Japan? I knew things were cheap there, but wow.

why does she talk like that...

I'm coming to Japan.... Can I get you Instagram account so that I can communicate with you more about living in japan.... It will big help to me...
