Hello! This is Nakajima from HushTug.

In my last blog, I introduced some recommended spots to visit during Golden Week.
Following on from last time, this time I would like to write about "useful items that make traveling more comfortable."

I hope this makes your trip a little more comfortable.

5 convenient items to make your trip more comfortable

We will introduce some useful items that are convenient for storage and useful for theft prevention !

Please use this as a reference when preparing for your next trip.

1. Astro Compression Bag

Compression bags are a handy item that any travel enthusiast should have.
Even a thin T-shirt can be surprisingly bulky and take up a lot of space if you fold it and put it in your bag.

In such cases, if you use compression bags, the size will be reduced to about 1/3 of what it would be if you were to store the items as is, allowing you to store a lot more.
A must-have item if you're carrying a few days' worth of clothes!

2. MAMORIO Anti-Loss Tag

If you lose your valuables while traveling, you might not be able to concentrate on your trip and you might have to spend more than a day searching for them.
Anti-loss tags are extremely useful for avoiding such troubles in advance.

There is a dedicated app that notifies you if your smartphone and MAMORIO get separated, so you can notice it right away!
You can check the tag location from the app, which greatly increases the chances of finding it.

It's a good idea to have one with you, especially when you're abroad, as pickpockets are a common occurrence.

3. MIZUNO Swim Towel

If you're a swimmer, you've probably used it at least once.
Swim towels are highly absorbent and will quickly reabsorb water just by squeezing them, so you don't need to bring a bath towel; one of these is enough.

It can be stored compactly and is easy to carry, so it's a very useful item to have.

4. Mobile Battery

When traveling, you will use your smartphone for various purposes, such as searching for shops in unfamiliar places and navigating to your destination using a map app. At times like these, it is reassuring to have a large-capacity mobile battery.

There are many different manufacturers of mobile batteries, and many people may not know which one to choose.
The battery I often use is a large-capacity, very thin mobile battery called "ihr."

The great thing about this portable battery is that it comes with a cord!
The portable battery I had previously used was not included, and even though I had the battery, I often forgot the cord and was unable to charge it.
It's very convenient because it prevents you from forgetting the cord and reduces the amount of luggage you have to carry around by not having to carry extra cords.

Mobile batteries can be used not only when traveling but also on a daily basis, so I think it's a good idea to have one!

5. Small bottle 50ml [MUJI]

Even when traveling, you'll want to use the same lotion, milky lotion, shampoo, conditioner, etc. that you normally use.
Muji bottles are very useful for carrying only the minimum amount needed.
You can purchase them for under 100 yen, so they're a better deal than 100 yen shops like Daiso and Seria, and they're also easy to use.

They also come in a wide range of sizes, including 12ml, 18ml, 30ml, 50ml, and 100ml, so you can choose one that suits the length of your trip!
It is a very useful item because of its simplicity and ease of use.
