What should I pack when moving to Chigasaki?

Answer this Question

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

"When moving to Chigasaki, you should pack clothing suitable for all four seasons, as the city experiences a temperate climate with hot summers and cool winters. Lightweight clothing for the summer months and warmer clothing for the winter months, including a good quality jacket, are essential. Don't forget to pack a good pair of walking shoes, as walking is a common mode of transportation in Japan. Also, consider packing a raincoat or umbrella, as Chigasaki receives a fair amount of rainfall throughout the year. Pack your personal toiletries, although most items can be easily purchased in local stores. However, if you have specific brands you prefer, it might be a good idea to bring them along. Bring any prescription medications you need, along with copies of your prescriptions. It's also a good idea to bring a basic first aid kit. Pack your important documents, such as your passport, visa, driver's license, and any other identification. Also, bring any necessary financial documents, and remember to inform your bank that you'll be moving abroad. If you're planning to work or study, bring any necessary work or school-related materials. Pack your electronics, such as your laptop, smartphone, and chargers. Remember that Japan uses Type A and B plugs, so you may need to bring a power adapter. Bring some personal items to make your new place feel like home, such as photos, small keepsakes, or your favorite books. Lastly, consider packing some non-perishable food items from your home country, especially if they're items you know you'll miss or that might be hard to find in Japan," remarked another expat who made the move to Chigasaki, Japan.
