 Oops! Japan #2 — The Stamp You’ll Regret Missing at Tokyo Metropolitan Government Office


When visiting the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Office, don’t miss the *commemorative stamp*! 🗼


It’s a fun, free souvenir — but easy to overlook.  

Bring your own paper or notebook, or ask the souvenir staff for a sheet and envelope (they’re super kind!). ❤️


✅ Found near the souvenir stand  

✅ Ink is provided (no need to bring your own)  

✅ Great for stamp collectors!


📝 Tip: Don’t mix shrine stamps and public stamps — keep them separate out of respect.


One of those little things that make your Japan trip more special.

  Oops! Japan #48 — Should You Buy a Suitcase in Japan? One suitcase in, two suitcases out? Let’s talk strategy. Many travelers to Japan ask the same question: Should I bring all my luggage from home, or just buy a new suitcase while I’m there? On Reddit, one user wrote: “We’re flying to Japan for a month and thinking of bringing just one suitcase — then buying another before we return. Where’s the best place to get one?” It’s a common idea, especially for those planning to shop a lot or return with souvenirs. But is it a good one? ⸻ 🧳 What Reddit Travelers Say: • Prices vary a lot. Expect to pay anywhere from ¥5,000 to ¥25,000+ depending on size and quality.

  Oops! Japan #10 — Bug Bites & Thigh Rashes How to Survive Japan’s Hidden Travel Hazards It’s not always about culture shock. Sometimes it’s just the mosquitoes. Bring anti-itch cream. Some travelers report getting multiple bites daily — especially in warm or rural areas. Don’t let it ruin your trip. If you’re prone to thigh chafing, be prepared. Shorts, tights, or anti-chafe creams can save your sanity, especially if you're walking long distances in skirts. 👕 And one more: a light long-sleeve shirt helps avoid sunburn and stares (if you’re used to sleeveless tops). Versatile and respectful — win-win. 🗾 日本語の補足： 「日本で気をつけること」と聞いて蚊を思い浮かべる人は少ないですが、夏場は本当に刺されます。かゆみ止めクリームは持参すべきアイテム。さらに、スカートでの長時間の移動では太ももの擦れ対策も忘れずに。服装や小物で快適さが大きく変わります。 Next up: Oops!

  Oops! Japan #28 — You’ll Regret Skipping Rest Days （休養日なしは後悔のもと）Why Even Magical Japan Can Wear You Down English: Just came back from a 9-day Japan trip and feeling… wrecked? You’re not alone. One Reddit traveler shared how they packed their itinerary wall-to-wall with sights, food, and shopping — but forgot one thing: A day to do nothing. “I didn’t plan any rest day. I just kept going around and now I’m exhausted. Legs sore, eyes half-closed. I had to spend two days back home hibernating.” Even others chimed in: “I’d extend this to any trip longer than 7 days. Japan is magical — but physically draining.” “Next time, I’ll book a day at an onsen town or just sleep in and stroll slowly.” What counts as a rest day? Not sitting in a café between activities. A true rest day means: No sightseeing No strict plans Maybe a nice hot bath or a nap Staying in the hotel or exploring slowly around your base area Where to rest? Try a sento or onsen — even city ones like in Osaka Book a hotel ...
