[quote=Anonymous]I'm trying to pack really lightly for 10 days in Japan in August. We will be able to do laundry once or twice while there, so that helps.

Please help - what do we need/not need on this trip? This not a comprehensive list but are the things I have questions about. We've never been so I just don't know what is expected to wear in Tokyo/Kyoto.

Me (45 year old woman):
- planning on just bringing dresses, skirts, and shorts. No pants. Seems too hot for jeans/pants. Agree?
- shoes: bringing running shoes, Vejas, 1 pair of comfortable walking sandals that work with dresses or shorts, and 1 pair of nicer sandals that can be worn with nice dresses out to dinner

Husband:
- khaki/dress pants & button down shirt
- same question on jeans - would he want/need any?
- will bring shorts, polo shirts, t-shirts

Teen son (who prefers to wear athletic shorts and t-shirt whenever possible)
- bringing 1 pair of khaki pants
- 2 polo shirts
- 2 pair of khaki/cotton shorts 
- jeans? He doesn't really like to wear jeans but should we bring a pair for any reason?
- shoes: sneakers, keen sandals. I guess he will have to wear the sneakers w/ the khaki pants should we go somewhere nicer to dinner.

Any advice/tips would be great. Hoping to keep everyone's items in one carry-on bag each and then one small bag to check that will have liquids and anything else that doesn't fit in the other bags.[/quote]
