💡 Pro Tips & Malaysian Packing Guide

🎒 Packing Essentials (For Malaysians)
Universal Adapter: Japan uses Type A (2-flat-pin). Malaysia uses Type G (3-pin). You must bring an adapter.
Lip Balm & Lotion: Japan is very dry compared to Malaysia. Your lips will crack on Day 2 without balm.

🧥Clothing Strategy (Layering):
Tokyo: T-shirt + Cardigan/Hoodie + Jeans.
Mt. Fuji/Hakone: It is COLD (often 5°C-10°C). Bring Heattech inner wear and a Windbreaker or Ultra Light Down jacket.
Shoes: Slip-on Sneakers. You will take shoes off frequently at Ryokans and Temples.

🧥Clothing Strategy:
Indoors vs Outdoors: Indoors (malls, cars) are heated very powerfully. Dress in layers so you can strip down to a light sweater inside, but have a windproof down jacket for outside.


Private Charter Guidelines (10-Hour Rule)
The Clock Starts at Pickup: If the driver picks you up at 09:00, the service ends at 19:00.
Snow Buffer: On icy roads, a "2-hour drive" often takes 2.5 or 3 hours. Trust your driver if they suggest leaving early.
Overtime: Drivers are strict about time. Overtime fees are expensive (5,000 ~ 15,000 JPY/hour) and usually paid in cash on the spot.


🍜 Dining Tips
Reservations: Saido (Day 5) and Bon (Day 5) require reservations weeks in advance.
Ryokan Dinner: You MUST email the Ryokan immediately after booking to confirm you need **"Shojin Ryori"


Heads-up for Travelers:
Most soups in Japan contain katsuo (bonito) and are cooked with onions. If you avoid meat, fish, or the five pungent ingredients (onion, garlic, leek, chives, shallots), please inform the staff in advance so they can suggest suitable options.
