Osaka What to Pack

Osaka, Japan is a beautiful place to visit. You can make your trip better by packing the things you will need.

Luggage

Bring a backpack or rucksack along. It’s easy to carry when you are out and about, especially if you are using public transportation.

Clothing

You’ll need to pack plenty of clothing and shoes for your trip. Japan doesn’t sell clothing in larger sizes, so you may not be able to purchase any clothing when you are there. You should keep in mind that Japan gets lots of rain in June and July, and pack rain gear if you will be there around that time. People in Japan have indoor shoes and outdoor shoes, so you may want to choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off.
