Introduction

The flowers are beautiful, aren't they? This is Moeyomi. Since many people will be traveling during the upcoming summer holidays, I'd like to introduce 5 items that will make your travels more comfortable! I hope you find this helpful.

1. Cooling sheets for your feet

When traveling, you often end up walking a lot without even realizing it. To avoid carrying fatigue over to the next day, you'll want to have cooling sheets for your feet.

I use a product called "Kyusoku Jikan," and there is a huge difference in how my feet feel the next day depending on whether I use them or not.

I recommend applying them to your calves after a bath and peeling them off the next morning. Well, they do sometimes fall off on their own while I'm sleeping, but even then, the feeling of fatigue is significantly better.

Since they come in packs with multiple sheets, I recommend putting just the amount you need into a Ziploc bag to take with you. They are sold at pharmacies and similar stores.

If you are small, you can also cut one sheet in half.

2. Earplugs

Have you ever stayed at a business hotel or inn and couldn't fall asleep because the air conditioning was too noisy? This happens to me very often. That's when earplugs come in handy. If you are traveling with someone, they also help with noise or snoring.I usually wear earplugs when I sleep at home, but they are indispensable when traveling because it's especially hard for me to fall asleep. Since you'll be using them for long periods while sleeping, I recommend the soft type. They are sold at pharmacies and variety stores for about 500 yen.

Ones that come with a case are convenient.

This is my top recommendation. It's lighter, thinner, and dries faster than a regular handkerchief. You can use it to wipe your hands or sweat, wrap a cold plastic bottle, or even hang it around your neck like a towel on hot days.If you wash and hang it up to dry before going to bed, it will be dry by the next morning, so you can technically get by with just one. I especially recommend this for the coming season.

Besides specialty stores and Japanese goods shops, you can often find them in variety stores like LOFT these days.

Your mood will also lift with a tenugui in your favorite pattern.

4. Small wallet

Wallets can be surprisingly bulky. I'm a cash person, so I usually use a long wallet, but I switch to a small wallet when I travel. I leave behind everything I don't need, like point cards for shops near my house.I think many people are cashless these days, but if you are a cash person, please try using a small wallet for your travels. I use a product from Muji called the "Travel Wallet." Its light and simple design is great.

It holds bills, cards, and coins.

5. Sacoche (small shoulder bag)

A sacoche is very convenient for keeping your passport, smartphone, and wallet close to you.

It's lightweight and doesn't get in the way even when you're walking around.

I hope you have a wonderful trip!

I recommend this for short outings while staying at a hotel. You can go out carrying only your valuables and essential items. It is thinner than a regular bag, so it won't take up much space even if you pack it in your backpack.

Also, from the second day onwards when your luggage increases, you can leave bags containing unnecessary clothes or items at station lockers or your hotel, and go sightseeing with just a sacoche containing your valuables. It is also convenient to keep an eco-bag inside for various needs.

I personally love using one from niko and...

The fact that the shoulder strap is not bulky is a key point.

Summary

Those were 5 items to make your travels more comfortable. Please feel free to use this as a reference. See you again soon.
