[quote=Anonymous]Ugh I wrote a long response and somehow lost it. I’m sorry I don’t have time to rewrite it for you, but the number one thing that needs to be emphasized more (on top of the great advice you’ve already gotten above), is that everything you wear should look clean and tidy, like-new. No stains, nothing “well-worn”, no holes. Shoes, bag, coat should also look clean and not be worn down. Your hair should be tidy, “clean girl” -type makeup. This is part of good personal comportment, hygiene, and etiquette in JP. De-emphasize the figure and stay covered up. The humidity does not feel significant until the later half of the year…right now feels similar to the area, but you will need to plan to layer and unlayer and account for rain. Consider buying a tiny folding umbrella at the airport to keep in your bag, much smaller than anything you can find in the US. Also carry lots of cash bc some of the best places do not take card. If you’ll be going sockless w your shoes, consider keeping a small pair of ankle socks in your bag in case you go anywhere that shoes must be removed (though this may not happen - it’s possible your colleagues would avoid such places in consideration of the fact that you are a foreigner and may not feel comfortable). Thank you for caring to ask and being attentive of local norms as a traveler. I hope you have a wonderful trip and that you love Japan![/quote]
