Travel Packing Checklist

Check off your packing list or print it for your trip.

1Choose a trip type

A general starting point — adjust it to your own trip.

    This list is a reminder to help you avoid forgetting things — it is not travel advice. Passport validity, visas, and what you may bring into a country vary by destination and airline — always check official sources.

    Use Add and Hide to shape each list around your own trip.

    How to use it

    1. Pick a trip type: International trip, Beach & pool, Camping, Family with kids, or Visiting Japan.
    2. Tick as you pack: checks are saved per template, so you can prepare over several days and pick up where you left off.
    3. Shape the list: hide items you are not taking (you can restore them later) and add your own.
    4. Print: print an A4 sheet with tick boxes — carry your ticks across or print blank.

    What is in each list

    Your checks stay on your device

    Your ticks, the template you chose, hidden items and items you added are saved in your browser (localStorage) and never sent to a server. They are stored under a key separate from the Japanese version, so the two lists never mix. On a shared computer, press "Reset this template" when you are done.

    Check official sources for the rules

    Passport validity requirements, visa and ESTA needs, rules on carrying medication, and airline carry-on limits differ by destination and airline. This tool does not state any of them. For the current, correct rules, check the embassy, the airline and the customs authority of the country you are visiting.

    Frequently asked questions

    Are my checks saved if I switch templates?

    Yes. Checks are stored separately for each template (International trip, Beach & pool, Camping, Family with kids, Visiting Japan). Tick items on one template, switch to another, and come back — your checks are still there. Hidden items and items you added are saved the same way. Everything stays in your browser (localStorage) and is never uploaded.

    What is special about the "Visiting Japan" list?

    It collects practical things travellers to Japan often forget: a Type A power adapter (Japan is 100V), cash in yen for cash-only shops and temples, an IC transit card, comfortable walking shoes, a small hand towel (many restrooms have no paper towels), and a foldable trash bag (public bins are scarce). It is a packing reminder only — it does not cover visas, passport validity, or what you may bring into the country. Check official sources for those.

    Can I add or remove items?

    Yes. Use the box under each list to add anything you need. To drop an item you are not taking, press "Hide" — you can bring hidden items back any time with "restore". Items you added yourself can be deleted with the × button.

    How do I print it?

    Press "Print the A4 checklist". You can choose whether to carry your ticks across to the printout or print blank boxes to tick by hand. In the print dialog set paper to A4 and margins to minimum; choose "Save as PDF" if you do not have a printer.
