What should I pack when moving to Okinawa?

"When moving to Okinawa, it's important to pack clothing suitable for a subtropical climate, including lightweight, breathable fabrics, rain gear for the rainy season, and a few warmer items for cooler months. Don't forget your swimsuit, as Okinawa is famous for its beautiful beaches. Pack a good pair of walking shoes for exploring the city and hiking trails. Bring your essential toiletries, but keep in mind that you can find most brands in local stores. If you have a preferred brand that might not be available in Japan, consider bringing a larger supply. Pack any necessary prescription medications, along with a copy of your prescription and a letter from your doctor explaining your need for the medication. Over-the-counter medication should also be packed, as some common western medications might not be available in Japan. Remember to bring important documents such as your passport, visa, driver's license, and any necessary work or school documents. It's also a good idea to have copies of these documents in case of loss or theft. If you're planning on cooking, you might want to pack some of your favorite non-perishable food items, as they may be hard to find in Okinawa. Pack a power adapter for your electronics, as Japan uses a different plug type and voltage. Lastly, bring items that will make you feel at home in your new place, such as photos, small keepsakes, or your favorite books," said another expat in Okinawa, Japan.
