What should I pack when moving to Kamakura?

Answer this Question

We asked people living in Kamakura to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to Kamakura, you should pack clothing suitable for all four seasons, as the city experiences a temperate climate with hot summers and mild winters. Lightweight clothing is recommended for the summer months, while warmer clothing, including a heavy coat, is necessary for the winter. Don't forget to pack a good pair of walking shoes, as Kamakura is a city best explored on foot. Rain gear, such as a waterproof jacket and umbrella, is also essential due to the city's frequent rainfall. If you're planning on working or studying, bring any necessary documents, such as your passport, visa, and academic or professional certificates. Pack your personal electronics, including your laptop, smartphone, and chargers. An adapter plug for Japanese outlets would also be useful. Remember to bring any prescription medications you take regularly, along with a copy of your prescription. Pack personal hygiene items, although most of these can also be purchased locally. If you're a fan of specific brands or products that may not be available in Japan, consider bringing them with you. Lastly, bring some personal items that remind you of home to help with the transition and make your new place feel more comfortable," said a member in Kamakura, Japan.
