10 recommended items to make your overseas business trip more comfortable!

While overseas business trips are exciting, they also come with the stress of travel and work. Unlike personal overseas trips, work-related stress can make you more tired than on a regular trip. However, just having a few items with you can make your overseas business trips much more comfortable!

In this article, I have carefully selected items that I am convinced will be truly useful, as I go on overseas business trips several times a year. I will be presenting these items from the perspective of “useful and convenient items,” excluding absolutely necessary items such as passports, smartphones, and first-aid medications!

Let’s take a look at some convenient items that will make your business trips smarter and more comfortable!

10 useful items!

Some of the items are unique to overseas business trips, while others are also recommended for personal overseas trips, but we hope you will use this as a reference♪

Recommended handy items to bring on long-distance flights are introduced in this article, so please take a look if you’re interested!

[Charge anywhere in the world] Conversion adapter

Adapter plugs are essential for overseas business trips. You can’t work if you can’t charge your PC or smartphone… Adapter plugs with multiple ports are convenient because you can charge your smartphone and PC at the same time.

There are many types of outlets depending on their shape and size, but we recommend a multi-conversion plug that has a USB port and can be used with multiple shapes. It’s convenient because you can charge multiple home appliances at the same time!

[How to deal with wrinkles in clothes] Portable steamer

A portable steamer that will make your suits and shirts crisp when you’re on a business trip! Wearing crisp, wrinkle-free clothes will naturally lift your spirits. If it’s small and lightweight, it will fit neatly in your suitcase, so we recommend bringing it with you if you have the opportunity to wear a suit or shirt!

First impressions are important after all. Wear smart clothes to make your overseas business trip a success!!!

[Keep Clean] Wet Wipes

Wet tissues are very useful to have! Depending on the country, some restaurants overseas don’t provide wet tissues.

In those situations, having wet tissues on hand is sure to come in handy! If you have extra, you can give them to business partners, superiors, and colleagues!

[Refreshing makeup removal] Makeup remover sheet

Depending on the grade of the hotel you’re staying at, many hotels overseas don’t provide amenities.

You can purchase them locally, but it’s best to use makeup remover from a brand you’re used to using! Make sure to bring your makeup remover from Japan! We recommend sheet-type makeup remover! You can use it without water, so you can use it on the plane.

[Beautiful skin care even when on a business trip] Whitening pack

A whitening mask that protects your skin from dryness on airplanes and in hotels. If you bring a highly moisturizing sheet mask, you can easily take care of your skin even while on a business trip abroad. When traveling abroad, you tend to get more tired than usual… we recommend using a slightly luxurious reward mask!

Get through your overseas business trip with moisturized, firm, clear and bright skin! Having good skin will lift your spirits too.

[For a comfortable stay] Pajamas/loungewear

Some hotels overseas don’t provide nightwear, and even if they do, the hotel’s nightwear may not fit you, so it’s a good idea to bring comfortable pajamas that fit you.

Silk or cotton pajamas are also great for relaxation.

[Comfortable feet] Slippers / Disposable slippers

Depending on the grade of the hotel, slippers may be provided, but unlike Japanese hotels, most overseas hotels generally do not provide slippers.

Portable slippers that fold up compactly are convenient to carry around as they don’t take up much space in your luggage.

For Japanese people, who are used to taking off their shoes, not having slippers is more inconvenient than you might imagine, so I recommend bringing them! It seems that slippers are a uniquely Japanese culture, as you might be reluctant to put on your shoes barefoot after a bath.

If you want to reduce your luggage to the bare minimum, disposable slippers are also recommended.

[Favorite hair care] Travel size shampoo and conditioner

It depends on the grade of the hotel you are staying at, but in overseas hotels, only small bar soap or hand soap may be provided. Hair is a woman’s life! I think that’s why I recommend bringing your favorite shampoo and conditioner from Japan! You want to look beautiful even during your overseas business trip!

I recommend a compact travel-sized shampoo and conditioner.

[For urgent luggage] Eco bag

A lifesaver when your luggage suddenly increases on a business trip! A compact, foldable eco bag is convenient for shopping and carrying documents when you return from a business trip.

I understand that having an eco bag is convenient, but I’m sure there are people who want to reduce their luggage as much as possible. For those people, we recommend the “Shupatto” eco bag.

The ultra-compact Shupatto eco bag fits in the palm of your hand, so it won’t take up much space in your bag or pocket, and will keep your belongings to a minimum. It’s the perfect item for those who prefer mini bags and want to stay light on the move.

[For short outings] A small bag

A small bag is convenient for meals and short trips. It’s an item that is often forgotten, but we recommend bringing it with you on business trips abroad! Shoulder bags and crossbody bags are also ideal for carrying valuables.

Your main bag will probably be a business backpack or bag that can fit a PC, but if you have a smaller bag it will be very useful when you go out to eat or to the convenience store!

Bonus

For business people who travel overseas frequently, long stays at airports are unavoidable. A useful item for such situations is Priority Pass.

Many business people probably already have a Priority Pass, but if you’re wondering what Priority Pass is, check out this article as well ♪ It’s sure to make your overseas business trips more comfortable!
