This is the Transport and Luggage item for a trip to Japan. The 3 checkpoints below can only be settled properly before you leave — put them off and you queue at an airport desk or spend the first day on them instead. Work through them once and nothing has to be reopened.

Key checkpoints

At Miyajimaguchi Port, first confirm which ferry operator you will use and where to buy tickets. Round-trip tickets, transport-pass inclusion and terms of use may differ, so check each operator’s official website before leaving your country.
When you arrive on the island, immediately confirm the last return ferry time and departure pier. Operating hours may change by season, day of the week and weather, so check both the port display board and on-site information.
Ask crew members whether large suitcases may be brought aboard and where the designated storage area is. Keep your passport, cash, electronic devices and medication with you, and collect all stored luggage before disembarking.

What to do before departure, in order

Two rules decide the order. First, anything with a deadline — pre-registration, bookings, documents to be issued: miss the cut-off and there is no substitute. Then whatever also works locally, which costs little to postpone.

Most of the items above can only be done before you leave. After arrival, patchy connectivity and opening hours make them harder, so finish what you can while you are still at home.

What to pay attention to in Japan

Japan has digitised its entry procedure, so registering in advance cuts airport queueing time considerably. Cash is still dominant in parts of the country, though, so arriving with cards only can leave you stuck.

Mains voltage is 110V, so some appliances from home will not work directly — check your adapter.
