What to Bring

Smart travelers to Kanagawa pack light and bring layers. The weather can shift from warm to cool within a day, especially in spring and autumn. A portable WiFi device or SIM card is essential for navigation and translation. Bring a small notebook and pen for jotting down recommendations or addresses. Hand sanitizer and tissues are useful as some public restrooms lack soap and paper towels. Consider packing a foldable tote bag for souvenirs and grocery shopping.

Budget Planning

A daily budget of ¥8,000-12,000 covers mid-range meals, local transport, and one paid attraction. For budget travelers, ¥5,000-7,000 per day is feasible using convenience store meals and focusing on free attractions like parks and temples. Set aside extra cash for unexpected discoveries – some of the best experiences are unplanned. Use IC cards for seamless payment across trains, buses, and convenience stores. Exchange money at banks or post offices for better rates than airport counters.n
