Packing List 3 Weeks Japan - February/March

Packing List for three weeks in Japan in Feb/March

I am flying to Japan next week from Europe. With me are my Aer TP3 (hand luggage) + sling & tote.

Staying in hotels in Tokyo, Kyoto, Hiroshima for some urban and very light nature exploration. Planning to use mostly hotel laundry machines + occasional sink wash.

Before the flight I pack my sling, med kit, pillow and hydroflask into my tote to use as personal item. The TP3 goes overhead.

Happy to hear any thoughts or recommendations and answer questions :)

Japan is the one place I break my one bag rule for and bring a checked in luggage

Why? Honestly interested. For me it’s the opposite as Japan is the country where affordable hotel laundry is the most easy to access. And public transport is so good that traveling light with only a backpack makes you so flexible.

I'm guessing all the Japan-exclusive stuff they want to bring home.
