Going to Japan? What should you pack? Here are 25 essential items you should pack when you are going to Japan! EXPAND DESCRIPTION FOR MORE INFO.
First what to put in your luggage:

1 - Shoes that are easy to take off - Many attractions like temples and restaurants require you take off your shoes -- and socks that don’t look ugly since people will be seeing them. (Giveaway)

2- Big Slippers if you have big feet

3- Small Luggage - Pack Light because there isn’t much space on the Shinkansen - My favorite is Rimowa.
